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.

A number of months ago and again yesterday an item was as added to my calendar notifying me of an automatic payment of $400 to keep " my account" active for the next 5 years. There were, of course, links embedded to verify my account. Yesterday's had more "info" and looked to be from a different company but was similar in intent.
I deleted it immediately but have concerns.

How did this happen?

What steps should I take?

I verified that there wasnt a automatic payment from my account.

Should I consider and treat this the same as I do email phishing attempts?

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

I'm getting the same thing. I've googled this on how to block those entries but can't find where I can do this.

Hello,

So far yesterday and today there are calendar events on my calendar that I did not add and did I did not set up as an automatic ad. These entries tell me that a specific product has been purchased or specific service has been purchased and then it gives an amount that I will be debited. I've checked my accounts and there's hasn't been any debits thank goodness. Is anyone else getting these? I have sent feedback but you know it probably goes into some weird mailbox somewhere and nobody looks at it.

Thank You
P

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.

I'm using the TabA11+ (SM-X230), and those instructions are not helpful as I don't have the google calendar app 🙏
I'm using the Calendar app supplied with the tablet, and still getting invites from my hotmail (Outlook/Live) spam folder automatically accepted and added to my calendar. Any thoughts? 🤔

I went to the calendar settings as stated but unchecked my yahoo email account under custom. I figured that's where the spam was coming from. Once I did that, it removed the most recent one I noticed (deleted the previous and haven't noticed any others yet)

I've had this issue too - If you have a Google account it automatically adds it to the Samsung Calander app 😞

Go onto google > click the 9 dots next to your intial on the top right corner> click Calander > Click gear icon >Settings > Scroll to "Event Settings" > Change "Add invitations to my Calendar" to only if the sender is known *OR* Whe I respond to the invitaion email.

Took me ages to find out why I was having this issue. Everyone kept saying Google but I dont have an @Gmail account. Turns out it was any google account, not just a gmail.
