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

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!!!

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.

You can delete a bogus calendar invite by clicking on the first day of the series. You should be able to Delete or Cut it and all of the days in the invite will go away. If you are on iPhone Calendar, from the Calendar view, long tap the first day and a toolbar will pop up and you can click Cut.

I played around with email Rules, but none of my bogus invites are from the same person. They do all seem to start with punctuation of some sort, but I don't know how to set up a rule to do that.

I was getting them pretty hot and heavy for a while. From November 2023 through maybe the end of the year. They have tapered way off now, so there may be some hope.

Good luck!

I don't believe you. I'm not accepting them. In fact, it happened while I was asleep. This means MICROSOFT is doing it in the cloud version of outlook. Don't give me platitudes, stop invading my person software just because you are running it. I pay you a yearly fee to do it correctly, not a yearly fee to do what you want with it.

WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS? IT ISN'T ME.
