      ****** sent an email saying they were changing their **** and if I didn't agree then I wasn't allowed to continue to use their services. I emailed them back saying that's fine; delete my account and my email and all my data from your servers and just leave me alone.It's been months and about a dozen messages and they still harass me with emails whilst I am technically disallowed to use any of their products because I do not agree to their ****.I demand they delete all my information from their servers and stop emailing me.

      I received an unsolicited call from ***************** wherein the automated call (posing to be a real person) merely said "Hello? Hello? I can't hear you. Hello?". I believe the intent of this call was to surreptitiously gather data about me without my consent. It lists clearly in your FAQs that one must "Obtain the consumers prior consent, as required by applicable law or regulation", but this was certainly not done in my case.

      I'm a customer with ********************** for many years(have using Authy before they acquired Authy, then merger into Twilio), recently I received an email from Twilio that asking me to complete company details, otherwise my account will be terminated due to non-compliant.Since I'm an independent developer with no company linked, I submitted a ticket to them: #********.Unfortunately, the communication process is full of confusion.Firstly, I told them my situation, explained why I can't provide company details and asked for help, but they still asked the company details as the response.Then, I had to repeat my issues. At this time, they replied with 'waiting for team to conduct review', and then they told me I didn't pass the review, without explanation. I was very angry, since two rounds of communication with no useful help & explanation, I asked to escalate case to their manager. Then a manager followed up my case and replied with they stop supporting individual accounts in *****, still, without explanation of why.I kept asking of why, and asked what if I change phone number bind with the account from ***** to another country if the matter is about *****. Also, I noticed their notification email wrote as 'according to the local regulations' in *******, but didn't mention the same thing in English version, so I asked why and asked for the details of the so-called 'local regulations' which they need to obey, so that I can check it further.Next, the manager replied with Twilio is intended for business/professional customers and not individuals, no more explanation of my questions previous asked, it caused new questions and more confusions.I'm angry and tired of this case, since they always don't provide explanation details, that's why I decided to file a complaint on BBB.I hope they can solve my problem and/or provide explanation details of questions I asked.

      The company Twilio is the current owner of the service Sendgrid.Through Sendgrid we have received a non stop deluge of spam every single day for the past month. There appears to be no end in sight as no matter how many reports we have sent this company the very same spammer and the very same links, same text, same contents arrive. It is our believe at this point that Twilio/Sendgrid has absolutely no control over their network, their software or the services they offer and are basically operating a non stop spam operation willingly. It should be noted that this is illegal under the CAN-SPAM ACT and can levy fines upwards of 40k per email. As the emails are being sent not by a random spammer but by Sendgrid and it's services itself the actual violator of this law is in fact Sendgrid.We ask that the company cease allowing spams to be sent to my email address in direct violation of the law. We are taking this last step before we obtain an attorney and file a direct lawsuit against this company for willful violations of the law. It is our hope that this spurns some type of mitigating action on the part of the company to cease allowing such flagrant abuse of it's network.
