its spam  definetly , they use google  and it's not spoofing.

funny thing is when you search for googlegroups abuse :

Friendly reminder that if you encounter emails on this list that you 
believe are spam or abuse of the list, please report the abuse using the 
google groups Report Abuse feature in the drop-down in the top right of 
the message in the web interface. All emails should have a "To view this 
discussion on the web visit" link in their footer that will direct you 
to the web interface. This is for if you are subscribed through the 
google group.

Seems you can only report google groups abuse from your google account , 
that leaves

out a lot of people  if they don't have a google account . Also what 
happens when the you're

spammed on your business email but you have to report the abuse from 
your personal gmail account ?

This is very grey and vague I think .

This is more likely to work probably , I will create a rule with low 
score at first  to check

thanks for suggesting
