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

    I have been having this problem. I went into settings on my iPhone, selected calendar and deleted my email from the list. It deleted the invites when I did this. I don’t know if it fixed the problem as I just did this, but it seems like it did.

    I'll let Microsoft know the problem is back.  Did you create a rule in outlook.com's settings to mark meetings as junk or delete them (if you don't get meetings at this address).

    Now at six in the last few days.

    Is Microsoft going to do anything or are they going to force me to remove their service from my phone.

    I checked with support - they are aware of this meeting spam and have blocked it so no new everts should be showing. afaik, the block is in effect now, but they might still be working on it and some may slip through.  

    I received another spam “Microsoft Suggestion” calendar invite last night.
