Calendar Spam events

For IOS, but adaptable for OS.

Calendar and Photos SPAM Invites

I have been getting the exact same message. It's been happening to me over the past month. I just kept deleting them, but they're coming back and it's annoying to get these notifications. I want to know how to close my calendar so that only I can add events to my calendars. iCal is my only calendar program, and I don't want to change, but if I have to to avoid spam, I will.

I was flooded with calendar invites last night. I made the mistake of declining the first one, I think that opened the floodgates for more. I immediately realized that by declining the invite all I did was tell the spammers that they had a good address to spam.

If you try to delete the event, you get a dialog indicating that deletion will cause a decline response.

Here's how I got rid of them:

MacOS Sierra

Execute Calendar

Create a new calendar (File->New Calendar) You should end up with a new 'untitled' calendar

Then you will need to right click on each 'ghosted' potential calendar entry and move each of them to the new calendar

Next, right click on the new calendar and choose Delete

Next, choose to delete WITHOUT notification.

That worked for me. I can't believe spam now extends to calendar events. What idiots these spammers are!

The exact same invite popped into my calendar a few hours ago. I haven't declined yet as I knew it was spam. How can you get rid if you only have an iPhone? Also how has spam been able to hack my calendar when I've disabled iCloud. This is strange.

I've got same event.

I guess you should turn off Calendars sync in iCloud, you can continue to use Calendar.app with Google account.

I just came to the forum to search for this exact issue.

I followed the suggestion above for moving spam invitations to a spam calendar and then deleting that calendar. But do we have to do that every time we get these invitations?

Can't Apple come up with a better solution than this, like blocking the sender of an invitation?

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem or a suggestion for change. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem/suggested change solved sooner.

Feedback

When I try to move it I get a box that says only the organizer can make changes to it. The spammers must be onto this fix. Apple should address this immediately! Here is a link to Feedback for Calendar: http://www.apple.com/feedback/calendar.html Let's flood them with the request for a fix!
