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 am as well. Very frustrating and I too am shifting most of my activity to gmail. This is not professional caliber.

    Yes that works, but I have upwards of 20 spam calendar items and on one of those it said "a reply was not able to be sent to the meeting organizer" so that tells me when you do that, it's letting them know that this is a legit email and they just sell it or spam you even more! We should NEVER have ANY appointments on our calendar that we did NOT accept!! Microsoft are you listening???? Shouldn't be that hard!!!

    Been having the exact same issue for months now. Even my boyfriend an IT tech is struggling to figure it out. We’ve blocked all emails from adding to calendar but as someone has mentioned it stops deliveries etc from showing up. I’m blocking all senders in my junk mail but there seems to be ALOT of junk mail coming through. Why are Microsoft not doing anything to stop this?! Or is it because we are not paying for their basic email plan we’re not as important and worth protecting from this spam?!

    I'm receiving the Spam outlook invitation on my iPhone Outlook. I've been unable to eliminate them.

    Can you help?

    Thanks,

    The invitations have been landing in my junk mail. I go to my junk mail and delete all emails daily, then I delete all the emails from the trash after deleting the junk. It's not a permanent fix, as Microsoft needs to deal with that but at least I can see my own events on my calendar. Unfortunately, some days I have to do this more than once, but it can be done from the phone. Hope this helps.
