Do not worry, that is not a virus, it is just a "rogue calendar" account. While browsing on your iPhone you probably clicked on a pop-up and you signed up to get those event reminders.

Unless you tap on the suspicious links in the events, you are safe.


To remove the rogue account from your device, read the following instructions:

- on iOS 13 (or earlier versions): go to "Settings", tap on "Passwords & Accounts" and under "ACCOUNTS" see if there is an unknown calendar listed. Remove the rogue account from the list by tapping on it and then on "Delete account".

- on iOS 14: go to "Settings", tap on "Calendar" and finally on "Accounts". Remove the rogue account from the list by tapping on it and then on "Delete account".
