Today I received a invite from a person attempting to profit. And Apple allowed this sodding nonsense. It was from a Chinese seller, to boot. See below for screenshot.
That first recipient down there, with the pixelated middle name, that’s me. A bunch of other folks with e-mail addresses begin with “ra” were also victims of the vicious attack.
I don’t know why there isn’t an option in the Calendar app’s settings to block invites from unknown senders.
This has all the tell-tale signs of spam. Ray-Ban spelled with a lowercase B. Ray-Ban glasses for $19.99. Chinese sender. Multiple recipients all with similar e-mail addresses. Why did Apple allow this garbage to go through their servers and into my phone as a Calendar invite?
A friend gave me an Apple phone number (“Just Ask”) and suggested I report this. I definitely plan on doing so.
