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 started getting the same thing happening to my calendar from "******@superlatively.metaexile.com".  I did what the one gentleman suggested but could not find the sender in my deleted file, looked in my junk mail file and found the sucker.  I then opened up my outlook blocked list, added the address to be blocked and will sit back and see if it works.  Hopefully "Microsoft suggestion" events go away????

    Anything delivered to your Junk Email folder is already considered blocked and blocking it again will not have any extra effect. If events are coming in on messages that the server recognizes as junk, that is a Microsoft problem. I know how to contact some Outlook MVPs and will ask them to bring this to the product group's attention if they can.

    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.
