How do I block spam calendar invitation emails?

I'm receiving spam "reminders" in Chinese posted to my calendar. I'm searching for how to block these posts.

I just got one of these... There's no way to remove it from the calendar without responding to it in some way. I can't mark it as spam, I can't delete the request without notifying the user... This is complete garbage, I need a way to remove these spam requests without letting the spammer know they hit a valid email.

I've tried what MPC6 suggested, we'll see if I don't get any in the future or if they just have to hit my email beforehand, maybe that will let me mark them as spam in my email?

Regardless, this obvious lack of functionality in the Apple Calendar program is just that, a lack of NEEDED FUNCTIONALITY, and needs to be addressed.

Thank you so much MPC6! Hopefully this works for the Reminders app spam too.

I also received the invite regarding ray bans and a few additional invites. I added the sender to my contacts. Then I went into contacts and. Locked the sender I just added.

I'm also getting this Chinese 80% discount spam, it only comes to my iCloud email, sort it out apple!

I think this might fix it. I'm guess the new suggestions into the calendar are picking up spam emails. So I'm trying turning off events found in mail.

Thanks but will this turn off any other meeting request for which I haven't confirmed ? If yes, this is not the solution. And by the way, why apple doesn't answer with a solution to this ? I guess because they don't have any. I (and all apple phone users), might not be satisfied with workarounds. We want a sustainable solution.

But thanks a lot for trying to help... We appreciate.

I just got my first spam on an alias that I've only used for e-mail with my friends. Their address book must have gotten hacked. Apple, we need a way to mark these addresses as spam and set up a safe senders list

This was a nice trick to clean it up, thanks. 🙂

HI I've just had the same thing happen and have a quick and simple solution. Go go calendar, add the organizer of the meeting to your contacts, it appeared in red on my iphone for some reason, back out to home, go into contacts, find said contact, scroll down to' block contact' and select, invitation will disappear and contact will be blocked for the future.

Thank you! This was so helpful!

I posted the same solution earlier. However, now there is no option to "block" the contact like I had originally done.

On [Events found in email]:

I have had this setting set to Off already and it did not prevent me from getting the "$19.99 Ray-Ban Oakley sale" invite. The invite is not getting in that way, it must be some other loop hole

This has been happening to me as well. I didn't want to hit "decline" or "delete" because that would engage with the SPAMMER.

- If you don't use iCloud as your primary calendar, using the "calendar delete" method described in the post above might work. I did it for good measure.

- I also changed the settings in iCloud to receive all calendar invitations as email, rather than"IN APP".

So far, so good.

I started to receive these after my last IOS update. There are lost of glitches with this last update (IOS 10.1.1)

I am having Iphone "fatigue" and said I would never buy an Android, but am seriously considering it. Apples software for the iphone and ipad is so dated and I am asking why I ever paid this kind of money for a phone and a tablet.
