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.

    Thanks Heather. I could never find the emails, even by searching for "event". But I sorted the emails by subject name and found one that had a box that had "RSVP" on it and deleted it and the event disappeared from my calendar. I managed to get rid of the others, can't say what I did because I was following all of the recommendations on this board. But the one was for like a dang month and I couldn't get it to go away! Worse yet the title was "stay hard", and I'm not a guy so imagine having to see that every day! Anyway thanks again!!!

    haha i have the same problem..."stay hard" keeps popping up in my notifications every day! (no pun intended!) and i agree, as a woman....but doesn't really matter....it's vulgar. EVERY DAY. ... but i tried to search "rsvp" as you did and I cant find a single email. grrrrr. anyway. i will keep trying but it appears they have figured out the code to access our calendars without being traceable in the system. no option to block, delete or remove the contact or the invite. so frustrating. I have the stay hard one and the "stuck at home?" one.

    If you can find the junk email with the title ‘stay hard’ etc you can block and delete that email which should remove it from your calendar. Alternatively you can view the email address it comes from in your calendar n then block this email via outlook. Hope this helps.

    I am getting about 40 a day at this point. It literally takes me 1-2 hours a day to deal with all of these to ensure I do not click on one of these links and hurt my business in some way. I wish there was a way to identify these spam, malicious emails.

    The calendar on my iPhone receives invitations (usually 5 per day) from various individuals regarding a MS meeting. They do not show up in my outlook calendar on my pc? I have both an outlook email and a live.com email. Apple said it was a MS issue and could not help. None of the answers posted help.
