    Hi Rick,

    Thanks for reaching out. it’s understandable to feel concerned when you see “blocked account” or “security warning” in your calendar. These are usually phishing attempts, not real account blocks.

    First, remove any suspicious subscribed calendars from your iPhone by opening the Calendar app, tapping Calendars, and deleting unknown entries.

    Second, turn off automatic event additions in Outlook by going to Settings → Calendar → Events from email and choosing Don’t automatically add events.

    Third, delete the spam invites without responding and report them as junk or phishing to help improve filters.

    Last, check your Microsoft account security at account.microsoft.com and enable two-factor authentication. If this started after installing Link to Windows or Phone Link, reinstalling those apps can refresh the connection.

    I hope you find this information helpful. Please let me know if you have any further questions If the answer is helpful, please click "Accept Answer".

    Regards,

    Carlo
