That is a Rogue Calendar account. Go to Settings-->>Passwords & Accounts and under Accounts see if an unknown calendar account is listed. If it is then tap on it and then Delete account.


Good Luck.

The term Rogue means bad behavior. So in this instance it would be a calendar behaving badly. It is created by user error. For example, the user may be on a website and then a prompt pops up on the screen and tricks the user to tap on OK or YES and the calendar account gets installed. Once installed then it is used for advertising every hour or so while the user thinks that it is coming from the iPhone and probably ends up buying advertised services etc.

In the end, that calendar account is not harmful. It is ANNOYING more than anything else. You have removed that calendar account and you will therefore be fine.
