Zoom session required to download Fusion?

[doczilla]

After many months I have still been unable to get approval for downloading
Fusion.

I have followed the hints that have been posted to this forum, and am
finally interacting with an entity that promised to get my approval
accomplished “within 24 hours”. Of course that was three days ago.

(The reason I say “entity” is that during the chat this entity called me by
my first name but now addresses me in these subsequent emails by my
surname, just my surname, no title. It’s weird. And rude.)

Anyway, this morning I received an email with the following “request”:

“Please provide you preferred time with time zone for a zoom session”

Sketchy grammar aside, I’d really like to know WTF is going on here. A zoom
session? Seriously?

A couple of days ago husband was able to register and download Fusion
immediately, no hoop jumping necessary. No chat with customer service.
Absolutely no zoom session required.

Is there anyone else on this forum who was required to participate in a
zoom session in order to be approved to download Fusion?

If the email or "entity" is not from a Broadcom.com address (and that should be verified from the email headers, not what the email app displays), then I would be suspicious.

@Jason McClellan is this something that can be checked out to see if it's legit?

Hi Paul,

Thanks so much for looking into this for me.

Here are the headers from that zoom session request email. (I don't know
what "amazonses.com" is, so I can't tell if that's a red flag or not.):

This email looks legit based on what I can see regarding the DKIM is a pass and broadcom.com validated also there is a mention of wolken cms so the actual email may be case related.   To be sure I would forward the email to Broadcom Support to validate with Broadcom Cyber Security.   Thx Jason, Platform Admin   ++ thanks @Technogeezer for the flag.

Thanks for your help Jason.

I've attached the original email to this message.

If someone could give me an email address, I’d be happy to forward it to
that person.

{Case#36518762} ##Low - P4 - CA, Inc.-Unable to download ...-Unable to download VMWare Fusion   10 KB 1 version

[Technogeezer]

I'd reply to the email. It's appears to be from Broadcom Support and the caseID is in the subject. If this works like other support platforms, the case ID should get your reply forwarded to the case owner  

It would not surprise me if the zoom session will be used to gather  information in-person that will be used to remove whatever is blocking your downloads. The zoom session that they set up will be able to be identified as coming from Broadcom.com  (I've participated in a few Broadcom Zoom sessions and the invitation shows it's being hosted by Broadcom).)

OK, I replied to the email. I’ve quoted that reply below, for the record.
It’s somewhat of a screed (fair warning).

I see in your email no explanation, nor a polite query as to whether I
would agree to participate, just a request to provide a time and time zone
for a zoom session. Extremely rude.

Further, unlike in our chat session, your emails have addressed me by my
surname alone (no title). Coming from a stranger, it’s weird and creepy,
and again, very rude.

All this looks suspicious to me. For one thing, I can think of no good
reason you would require live video of me and not of my husband, who lives
with me at the same address, an address that both of us, separately,
provided to Broadcom in order to download Fusion.

My husband was able to download Fusion right away. I have been given
nothing but grief.

And since we have both been living here for the past 20+ years in King
County, Washington state, my residence is easily confirmed in online
property tax records — so why not ask for a scan of a current utility bill,
say? Or a voter registration card?

And from my address you should NOT have needed to ask me for a time zone.
What’s up with that?

Further, my professional history is extremely easy to track down, e.g.
via my LinkedIn profile, or even my posts to Usenet that began in 1988
(they should be on the Wayback Machine at the Internet Archive, although a
particular post I wrote in ~1991 that I’d like to reference seems to have
gone missing for some reason. But I digress).

In any case — and this is a key point — considering all the AI mischief
that’s currently being perpetrated with people’s videos, there’s no way
I’ll participate in a zoom session with some stranger. I’ve already been a
victim of identity theft. I’m not about to provide a useful tool for
someone to e.g. be able to “prove” they’re me.

I’d very much like to get to the bottom of whatever is going on here.
Explain yourself.
