Why am I suddenly receiving spam calendar invitations/appointments in Outlook (Microsoft 365 Family).

appreciate seeing that im not the only one experiencing this. It just started a few months ago and now its taling over my calendar. I have read every comment on google searches I’ve done and looked for ANY of the settings that microsoft mentions and none of those settings are on my iphone nor my desktop apps. I also pay fpr the 365 subscription….which i am now going to cancel. Not a single option is available to me ….in the “gear” setting options to report nor change my calendar settings to protectt me from this. Maybe country matters? Or miscrosoft has a hacker on their security team!!!

Edited: i was able to switch to the “new outlook” which i havent had time to look at yet and it gave me a setting option to “delete” all the spam invites. But still cant find a report junk setting nor a setting to limit who can send me invites.  If it is there its not easy to find on any of my devices

Ahg! Well that’s disappointing! I would have hoped that paying for their service you would have been protected more! I think I might have to start using my secondary email as primary (Google) it’s very rare I get scam emails on that one.

I'm paying for 365 and it's still hitting my calendar. MS can prevent this if they want.

The only way I found is to stop emails from adding to your calendar altogether - settings, mail, accounts (deselect calendar) for now this is the only thing I have found helps. I’m reporting and blocking the emails daily (blocking also removes them from the calander but I’m not sure what risks there are with the ‘invite’ being on the calander for a while. Example if you don’t see the invite for 5/6 hours)
