Getting "MICROSOFT SUGGESTIONS" in my Outlook Calendar that appear to be spam

For the past couple of weeks I have been receiving "Microsoft Suggestions" in my calendar that span across two weeks in my calendar, that are waiting for me to accept. This actually started on my Outlook on my iPhone on my "Outlook Calendar" and has now started on my Desktop Windows machine.

My iPhone Calendar

 and my Desktop Outlook Calendar

in the iPhone calendar, you can see that almost every day has been infested with these. The Pfizer Vaccine ones do not show the "Microsoft Suggestion" but I assume these are all coming from the same place since they started at the same time and there are 4 listed spanning as one "Event" from March 5th to March 30 I can not delete these OR decline them. The Desktop "Meetings" I can decline but they keep coming back.

Has anyone else been getting these BS items and how can I turn them off completely. I do not share my calendar with anyone nor have I ever received "request" for a meeting until this **** started. I am ok with turning off all invitations for meetings but I cant find a way to do this.

Thank you in advance!

Bob

    Hello! I was having the same problem! I just looked at my calendar and there was a suggestion on every day, uuggh. I went into calendar setting, I think, and there was a setting that had a small question mark after it. But I can't remember what it was named and now can't find it again. Anyway, I toggled that off and all the suggestions disappeared. I think it may have said something about 'advertising suggestions'

    Same issue here. The events are coming from emails that have been automatically flagged as spam. 

    Really f'ing annoying.

    It seems like iPhone is adding them to the calendar when the junk folder syncs. Depending on how your account is set up, they will either be added to the phone's default calendar or to the outlook.com calendar.

    I have been having this problem on my iPhone using the iPhone client, but when I go to Outlook.com, the spam meetings are not there.  It seems Microsoft is successfully supressing them on Outlook.com but other e-mail clients syncing with Outlook.oom are still picking up these suggestions.
