As you review your Google Calendar, you suddenly notice that — surprise — you have won a free iPhone X.
Naturally, you know nothing is free and who knows what is at the end of this 'calendar invitation.'
This is what Security expert Graham Cluley calls a scammer desperation move: Calendar invitations.
You can stop them.
Go to the gear icon the top right of your calendar screen. Choose settings.
From the drop down menu select Event Settings.
Change the Automatically Add Invitations setting to: No, only show invitations to which I have responded.
Now when someone emails an invitation, you have to respond and then the invitation will be added to your calendar.
