Support NeoGAF

[Barzul]

Damn already declined a couple. Glad to know it's not just me though

 

[FromAtoX]

Yeah I got it too, I did the email thing to stop it and it worked.

 

[Justin Bailey]

Ha - totally didn't know this was widespread. Nice.

I encountered this late last month. Got a spammed for months worth of day-long events where the description was in Chinese. Fuck declining each of them individually.

Apple needs to just let us block all requests unless they come from a known sender.

 

[Squalor]

I encountered this a couple months ago.

Turns out, it was just an American NeoGAFfer who was sending me all the spam of dicks and calling me Chinese.

 

[Uno Venova]

are you fucking kidding me

 

[RelaxedOtter]

Yeah, got a couple of these the last few days. Turned off calendar icloud sync as I don't use it, so hopefully that stops it. Super frustrating.

 

[Electric Eye]

That explains it. I was wondering why I had a scheduled purchase of ray bans on sale from an unknown Chinese ecomerce site. Puts wallet away.

Haven't gotten it but does this only apply to iCloud.com email address or any Apple ID used for iCloud?

I'm guessing the latter, because I don't have an iCloud.com email address (that I know of) and I'm getting spammed.

I'm getting this too, it's pretty bad that there's been no official acknowledgement or fix for it.

Sync with google calendar. That's the fix.

This is what bothers me.

After having two iPhones in my family remotely locked by (assumingly) Chinese e-mail accounts, it's clear that something on Apple's backend is completely compromised.

 

[The Jackdog]

so im not insane

 

[Rocketz]

Throw me into the bunch getting them. I noticed they were coming from just two so I created them as contacts and then just blocked them but we'll see if that works or not.

Apple really needs to fix this.

 

[Squalor]

are you fucking kidding me

They called you? Goddamn.

 

[jts]

I just deleted everything, turned on the setting on iCloud.com to get calendar invites as email (which will get conveniently spam filtered).

Sorted.

 

[Hoo-doo]

I haven't been hit with this but it's good to be proactive, I guess. Thanks for the tip.

Apple should just remove the uselsss feature all together. If an appointment is really important you should be able to put it in the calendar manually like a normal person.

What a dumb statement. Do you even know how the feature works or what it is for? Or scheduling software in general?

 

[neshcom]

The social media team at @AppleSupport had me call support yesterday after I complained about this, but since there isn't any fix, it was a solid waste of my time.

 

[Fuchsdh]

Well, this is a reason to change my iCloud password as a precaution.

 

[Uno Venova]

They called you? Goddamn.

Yeah. The spam is a slight annoyance, but if these calls start happening as frequently as the invites are, I'm going to be pissed.
