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.

@Broadcom Platform Admin is this something that can be checked out to see if it's legit?
