New crazy thing that's happening with my parents' tech:
They're getting absolutely blasted by scammers in OUTLOOK CALENDAR INVITES
Their calendar is like 100% full of invitations they haven't accepted which are just some random name and then a link to a scam website... and the apple Calendar app just shows them as if they're full events, and notifies them of them with the link clickable.

Does anyone have any ideas about how to stop this?

I was looking for a setting to prevent invitations from showing up but I haven't found anything

@masklayer maybe this? this'll prevent emails with invites turning into appointments

@masklayer idk enough about Outlook to know whether you can still install Old Outlook and just untick the checkbox tho, especially on a mac

@noiob Ok, thanks for letting me know... I don't have their account info tho so idk if I can do this but I'll try sometime.
