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.

    Maybe if enough of us start moving out of Hotmail/Live they’ll do something about this issue. Right now they don’t seem interested in doing anything.

    Why isn't a calendar invite something you have to accept?

    ....especially if it is a reoccurring series.

    Put rules in place such that the recipient has to approve or accept any calendar invite as opposed to the invite simply dropping to the calendar upon hitting the Inbox.

    It is a very reasonable recommendation.

    On the Apple iPhone calendar, be in the mode where you can see the whole day. Long press on the first day of the bogus event. A popup menu will appear. Click Cut or Delete.

    Took me a long time to figure this out!

    The point is that we shouldn't have to do this. It just started happening out of the blue. Sometimes that does not work and I have to remove calendar access from my phone and then turn it back on. Then it will disappear.
