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

Anonymous

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 10+ suggested events per day in my calendar, I cannot access any of my own events or appointments that I want to put into my calendar because I have the automatic spam events and conflicts in everyday for the next 30 days!

    This link might help some -  How to Disable Suggested Event in Calendar on iPhone - iGeeksBlog 

    but I don't have to option in settings to turn off "events found in email".

    And for desktop ; How to prevent calendar invites from appearing on my calendar with a - Microsoft Community

    But this does NOT help either!

    I can NO LONGER even use my calendar on my phone, that I have relied upon for the last couple years!

    I'm also having this same issue, this is an extremely annoying problem because I get notifications EVERY SINGLE DAY about these random spam emails that I have no email for to begin with. This shouldn't even be something that should be happening -- And if it is, we need to have the option to disable Microsoft Suggestions. There's no reason why my calendar should just be automatically populated by spam emails simply because they sent an email.

    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.
