Hello,
Don't worry, this is not a virus but rather you might have allowed and access for a website to create reminder on your calendar and iPhone would always ask you before it happens, follow this;
Settings > Calendar > Accounts > Choose an event account being fed from website link > Erase account
You can also learn more via how to ''Remove spam from Calendar on your iPhone" https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211076
Have a great day!

We are very happy to now that it worked. Don't worry just be mindful before visiting potentially unsafe websites.
Some websites might pop up unsafe links and advertisements and some are might ask you to allow an access to calendar but this will never infect your running iOS software.
The best way to prevent these issues will start with Safari.
On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, go to Settings > Safari and turn on Block Pop-ups and Fraudulent Website Warning.
I found this, I hope it's useful for you
About pop-up ads and windows in Safari
If running iOS 13 or earlier versions, check: Settings - Passwords & Accounts - Accounts - Any rogue entries here? If so, delete the rogue account.
If running iOS 14, check: Settings - Calendar - Accounts - Any rogue entries here? If so, delete the rogue account.
Tap on Subscribed Calendars. You should find a calendar that doesn't belong there and is generating all of the fake messages. Delete it.
I have went to settings - calendar - accounts and this what is showing now? I have the new iPhone 12 Pro Max if that helps I don’t know what I’m doing -_-
Tap the one that says “Subscribed Calendars”. The bogus calendar should be hiding there.
Yes, this has worked. Thank you soo much for your help!!!
