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

    Hi. I'm Brian, an Independent Advisor.

    Since events arrive as email, block the sender. I haven't seen these, but I can well imagine they're a nuisance.

    Thank you Brian, the problem is that I have never received an email for these events. That was my first thought and I looked for them to block.

    I'm getting the same thing, and although Robert is saying he doesn't see an email showing up as the cause, I do - but it's in my junk email. How is junk email able to trigger a calendar suggestion?

    I am getting the same thing. I haven't checked my junk box. It has been over a week since it started happening. Very annoying at the same time as worrying

    Did you check your Deleted Items to see if the messages arrived and you didn't realize it? Outlook typically deletes event messages once added to the calendar.
