If you've been targeted by a Spammer using Spam Calendar Events - I am sorry, but there is not anything you can do if you are using a personal Microsoft account.

This is a know issue. Microsoft is aware of the problem but there is currently no fix. Unless you are in an IT Managed Environment there is nothing you can do to stop them.

All I can suggest is that you vote for and comment on this Feature Request:

Prevent meeting invitation emails that are flagged as spam

Answer 2

This is a known issue with spam calendar invites in Outlook/Outlook.com. There is currently no direct self-service fix to stop them completely.

Supported options from the available guidance:

1. If these are events created from email, turn that feature off in Outlook on the web:
   • Go to Settings
   • Select Options or Mail
   • Select Calendar > Events from email
   • Choose Don't add events to my calendar from email
2. If only certain event types are the problem, in the same Events from email settings, clear the categories that should not be added automatically.
3. If the items are true spam invitations rather than events created from email, current guidance indicates there is not much that can be done in a personal account scenario. In IT-managed environments, admins may be able to mitigate this with Microsoft Defender for Office 365 or mail flow rules.
