You are welcome.

You know those are not subscriptions but its a part of a scam where a rogue website or an email (or by other means) cleverly compels you to click on something and gets those calendar events added. Be careful. I see a lot of similar issues regarding rogue calendars lately. Good Luck.

Thanks for the insight. I was worried because I have personal banking on my iPhone and I was hesitant to log on because I did not want compromise my passwords. I never clicked on those links just saw them on my calendar recently . I should be ok with my personal information on my phone?

Yes you will be fine.

This calendar scam is more of an advertising scam where everyday at certain times (Very Frequently) events pop up on your iPhone leading the user to think that it is an official notification. The scammers' goal is to have the user click on a link in one of those rogue ads and then take the user to a fake website. This one appears to be more of a nuisance and spam than anything else.
