How do I stop 'We Have Blocked Your Account' calendar invitations on iPad Pro?

This is a scam - not a real Apple message. Your account isn't actually blocked, and it's the fake invite itself messing with your calendar and appointments.

How to fix it:

1. Don't tap the link in the invite.
2. Decline or delete the fake event in your Calendar app.
3. Check for a junk calendar subscription: Settings → Calendar → Accounts, and remove anything you don't recognize.
4. Report it: on iCloud.com → Calendar, right-click the event and report as junk.

Once the spam calendar/invite is gone, your real appointments should stop disappearing too.

If you are using Apple Calendar app…

Settings > Apps > Calendars > Calendar Accounts > [delete all unrecognized]

If you are using some other calendar app and not the Apple Calendar app, which one?

This worked for me! I did not find any spam email connected to the event. Regardless, removing the Outlook calendar in iCalendar app and then adding it back removed the spam event on my phone! I hope it stays this way!

Do you have a subscribed calendar, as described earlier? If you do, what happens when you remove it?

Finally, a solution that worked!! I followed the link to Hotmail and created a posting titled "How to stop annoying SPAM in Hotmail calendar". An AI generated response was returned that I followed and it worked!

Basically, my issue was specific to my iPhone Hotmail calendar, not Outlook Hotmail calendar. So went to Settings > Apps> Mail> Mail Accounts> Outlook> then turn off Calendar and when prompted to do so, remove Calendar. I reopened Calendar app and searched "Block" to find my annoying SPAMs and confirmed they were gone. I then turned Calendar back on in iPhone (Settings > Apps> Mail> Mail Accounts> Outlook> turn on Calendar). Checked in iPhone calendar again and it remained free of the SPAM.

I have the same issues with calendar invites coming in saying my iCloud is blocked. Even though I declined, it would appear on my calendar.

To address that issue, I went into my junk email folder and block the sender of the email for the calendar. Once I did that, the event was removed from my calendar permanently. It does require that I go into my junk folder at least once a week to remove and block the new sender of the phishing scam. But it does work so that you don’t see that annoying thing on your calendar.

I have the same.

Email is:***

By toggling off calendar under my Hotmail Calendar in the iPhone calendar app it disappears - so I login to hotmail, find the sender and block plus remove from Outlook calendar. I also checked for subscriptions in Outlook and made sure it was not there.

It now does not show in Outlook/hotmail but still persistently shows on iCalender and as reported, you can’t decline, you can’t delete, there is no other unknown calendar to remove.

There is no way I can see to stop this - why is it getting through if blocked and not present in Hotmail, but toggle off Hotmail calendar and it proves it comes from that source?

Some days only have 1 spam, but other days have 2 and 3 of them. If I select one and Decline, several get crossed off but only for a few seconds and then reappears un-crossed off. Another problem is when I Decline some of these, I get a Calendar Invitation "Your response to the invitation cannot be sent".

Have you checked with Microsoft Hotmail support?

The following reports this as a longstanding issue with Hotmail:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/5777227/i-keep-getting-scam-spam-calendar-entries

i tried the delete and restore calendar and it works, for a very brief time until another spam message is sent and then, boom, it’s back. Each time I do the delete process, it is successful and then returns. Since I am way over the new limit of “blocks” I cannot block the spam message and I do not have a Mac to be able to do a bulk delete of the blocked file.

Perfect but, don’t forget to block all the scam messages in your “non desire” box. Then it will finally disappear from your calendar

Esto es, bloquea en la carpeta de “no deseados” todos los mensajes basura que te dicen lo mismo sobre almacenamiento… una vez bloqueados ya no te vuelve a salir en el calendario

I had the same and I couldn’t get it out until now. You must go te the outlook message that said the same thing. In your spam box.

just block this adress and everything is gone 🥳

I cannot refuse the Calendar event, I cannot delete the calendar either. The delete option is not where it is for my other calendars. How do I get rid of this? There are now two of them blocking my calendar.

Yes, as mentioned I have checked subscriptions in Outlook, have the sender blocked, but the issue after this is even though it is removed and no longer showing in my MS cal it has not removed from the iCalender, it will go and come back as I toggle MS calendar on/off. It has not returned yet in MS if I go there and sign in to check.

So to confirm, with Hotmail access enabled, the spam appears, and with Hotmail disabled, the spam disappears?

And when you reenable the Hotmail access, the spam comes back?

And to confirm, this behaviour parallels what the previously-provided link over to Microsoft was describing?

I have had this issue since September. Regarding “report as junk”, this event does not show up at all when I access my calendar through iCloud. It also doesn’t appear on my phone (iPhone). This is exclusively an issue on my iPad. Can you further help? It blocks out weeks at a time.

Like you, it seems to happen to me almost weekly too but there should be an easier way to stop this from happening. I know everytime I enter a website, they're selling my email address to brokers. I don't have a home computer or I'd be creating Rules in my Hotmail acct

How to proceed if the message doesn't show up in iCloud's calendar, but keeps renovating every week in iPhone's calendar?

I do not have any suspicious subscribed calendars.

Yes, but has been deleted MS side and no longer shows there.

This absolutely worked. Thank you!

I do not have a delete button on the event invite, only decline. when i push decline i receive a message that the message can't be sent. i also do not have any suspicious calendars.

I have the same! No delete button and the item doesn’t show in my iCloud calendar. Only on my iPhone. It’s there every day.

See my post below. It will tell you how to remove it from your calendar by going into your junk email and blocking the sender.

This worked for me as well .

Settings > Apps> Mail> Mail Accounts> Outlook> then turn off Calendar and when prompted to do so, remove Calendar.
