Random spam adding things to my calendar

[user6boqzT0NlP]

I have been noticing things appearing on my calendar from various anti-virus programs. They tell me that my subscription has been renewed. I know these are fake but it bothers me that they are able to post things to my calendar.

@RedonRed To stop these from your Google calendar:

1. Open Google Calendar.
2. Click the gear icon and select Settings in the upper right part of the screen.
   
3. Under Event settings, change Add invitations to my calendar to either Only if the sender is known or When I respond to the invitation email. (The default setting is From everyone, which will add any invite to your calendar.)
4. Uncheck Show events automatically created by Gmail if you want to stop Gmail from adding to your calendar on its own.

Samsung calendar does not have those options.

@Wimbledofy You will notice that I said Google Calendar.

I don't have Google calendar installed and I'm getting these stupid phishing attempts on my Samsung calendar. Apparently no way to block or report.

@Members_AFMX2Fq But, do you have a Google email account? That spam appointments come in emails to your Google email account.

Thank you. I don't use gmail but it is there. Not sure if I can disable it without messing up other apps/features. May give it a try.

@Members_AFMX2Fq I'm not talking about the gmail app. I'm talking about an email address that ends in "@gmail.com". Do you have one of those? 

[Members_AFMX2Fq]

No. I don't have an actual @Gmail address.

I do not find invitations anywhere on the settings.

It's been changed to "Show events from Gmail".
