Dear iPhone users. If you are deeply annoyed and frustrated because of the Spam Calendar Invites in your iCloud account, then it’s time to get rid of those. Why I told you might be annoyed or frustrated because this is the most hot issue making it around the corner this moment. The Spammers leave no stone unturned to put you in trouble after spinning spam comments and unfortunately Apple has no solution to this issue at this moment.
The spams go like this. Most of the time you might be receiving a Calendar invitation prompting you to ‘Accept’ or ‘Close.’ But non of the actions are fruitful as Accepting it you are in issues and if you Close, it simply moves into your iCloud calendar, un-responded box. No matter how many times you decline the invitation, the spammers don’t get affected and they keep on spamming and all the mails gather at the Junk folder. Even some of you might not be responding to the invitation at all because even declining the invitation will send a response to the spammer.
