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.

    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.

    I haven't read through this whole thread, but has anyone posted a way to have calendar invites require permission to be placed on the calendar? This would seem a simple approach. I've been getting several of these a week, all from different email addresses, so I can't create a junk/spam filter. If every calendar invite had to pop up to ask for permission before being placed, wouldn't that solve the problem?

    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.

    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.
