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.

Hi everybody I've got a Samsung s23 Ultra and I've been getting the same thing. It advises me that my service is about to start and the cost of whatever amount will be deducted from my account. I checked all of my accounts and no deductions have taken place. It has phone numbers and links and stuff within it and of course I'm not calling any of the phone numbers and I'm not clicking on any of the links. It's really a sad time when phishing g is entering your calendar.

Something must have changed with a recent update or stupid AI because I started getting these recently too.

I'm using the TabA11+ (SM-X230), and I'm using the Calendar app supplied with the tablet, and still getting invites (which I think are coming from my hotmail (Outlook/Live) spam folder) automatically accepted and added to my calendar. Any thoughts? 🤔

I'm starting to get spam in my calendar similar to to those emails that confirm a phantom payment or charge, but they're appearing in my phone calendar. How to prevent this from continuing?

Me too I'm getting spam on my calendar the purchase of a service or whatnot at an amount and a number and all that which I will not be calling. I have a Galaxy s23 Ultra. I'm going to try shutting it down and then bring it back up sometimes temporary tracking or whatever kind of gets removed and it resolves things sometimes I don't know what else to do maybe possibly uninstall and reinstall the app.

For the Samsung Calendar widget (not Google calendar): go to regular Settings on your phone > Calendar > Permissions > Contacts (choose dont allow)

Is anyone else getting spam/fishing entries on their Samsung calendar? It shows up as a regular event but it's saying some payment due will be auto deducted from acct blah blah blah. Looks like spam email, but in a calendar entry.

 Happens about once a week now. Started out as once a month or so.
