I am suddenly receiving spam calendar invitations/appointments in Outlook (Microsoft 365 Family).  Disappointing that Microsoft has not addressed this.  My McAfee virus scan is also giving me the "No Viruses" when I scan.

    I found out (in this thread? I forget where) how to stop the calendar invites from automatically populating my calendar, but now no one's invite automatically populates. I think I have to look out for real invites and manually open them. And the spam filter is now intercepting some of them, but not all.

    My total number of them is nowhere near the person above's total, thankfully. But here are many of them, stashed in my spam folder, keeping a tally just out of curiosity before deleting them.

    I get 2 for each invite. One in an email and one for the calendar. Today alone I had 101 in my email inbox and more in my span/junk.

    They're not in our FLIPPIN' INBOXES they're on our calendars.

    Need a fix!

    I agree. The calendar reminders I get are all from different outlook email addresses. I get several and they are all spam and all about a loan approval. I go and block them but more come up. On average I get 30-40 emails a day and get around 100 junk/spam each day. We need a solution.
