That only works if the document is still shared with you. If the spammers are halfway clever, they're removing access immediately after granting it, so the victim can't actually open the document to report it as abusive.

But what would be the point of doing that? They can't sell you whatever it is they're trying to sell unless you open the doc.

I received a lot of spam share notifications on Google Drive, and there is no spam in the Shared with Me view in the app. I don't know what their game is, but this is happening. It also doesn't make sense that Google Drive doesn't remove the notification after the file is no longer shared with me.
