Cold email - is it really illegal and what consequences I can get?

I’m so confused with you.

In another thread you say:

And yet, here you say:

Have you done ANY research whatsoever about spamming and laws around it?

Go to the laws section of any email marketing service and you will find the fine and legal information…

Not sure where you live but in Canada, here’s a quick idea for you:

Under CASL, the consequences for spammers include fines of up to $1M per violation for individuals and $10M per violation for companies.

In my honest opinion, no it is not safe nor worth it. Please listen to your fellow members who talk about the negative consequences of mass cold emailing who are literally advising you against doing something dangerous for yourself and others…
