How do I delete calendar requests added from junk mail without my permission?

I recently had a meeting request show up on my calendar. It says: “We’re also giving you 125 free spins on the popular game Reel Rush”. It appears to be from Casino luck and the sender is listed as ******@broksli.com. They have set it to recur from 17/1 through 29/1. If i open the request (which does include a link that i have NOT clicked on), it has the options of Accept, Maybe and Decline (as an actual meeting request would). If i chose Decline it will dissappear for a second and then shows back up again exactly as before. I cannot delete it, by doing anything. It is not from an unknown calendar. It is on the calendar that i use every day. I have checked settings also. (no unknown calendar or account). I have also gone into my outlook app and online via safari and the calendar shows nothing. I can’t understand why it is showing up on my IPhone Outlook calendar but not on outlook itself. I am an Apple user and only login to my outlook using Apple devices. How do I get rid of these requests? This is extremely annoying and takes up a lot of room on my calendar. Not to mention that i'm concerned that the link could be clicked on in error. Thanks!

    I have just managed to sort it (I think) by holding on one event and cutting it and they all seemed to go. Hope this helps

    This took me ages to work out. I had no option to delete or unsubscribe and it wasn’t mirrored to any of my other devices so was something to do with my phone.

    I deleted the calendar app and reinstalled it. The spam calendar has now gone! Hope it helps you too :)

    Hey, could you explain a bit further. I have the same issue. But I can’t see a way to delete it and I can’t find the settings that you spoke about above.

    Thanks,

    Hi, I'm Diane and I'm happy to help you today.

    Do not click Decline - they notifies the sender the address is valid and you could get a lot more spam.

    Delete it from the calendar - it should not come back.

    Which calendar is it on, on the phone? It sounds like it is on the iCloud calendar - that's why its not showing in Outlook in safari.

    Is your outlook.com address also your Apple ID address? There is a setting in iCloud's calendar settings that puts meetings on the iCloud calendar when sent to the Apple ID address.

    Let me know how it goes, I'm here to help you further if needed.
