Calendly spam

I need some help!
I'm getting 100s of emails into my 'focused inbox' on hotmail from 'xxxxxxxx (via Calendly)' a day. I mark them as junk, report as phishing but they all go into my focused inbox anyway. They seem to be coming from different email addresses thought, not only that I can see other email addresses who the email has been sent to.


Is anybody else having this trouble and Is there a way to stop getting these emails?

Thanks!

    I've never heard of them. It looks like a scheduling software and you should be able to change your settings or can report events from your Calendly account.
    Obviously this would only be if it is coming from the genuine Calendly.

    I'd go to the genuine website, try and log in with your email address, if it doesn't allow you to, you can try resetting your password, as someone may have set it up but used your email address.

    Failing that contact them direct, they have an online chat, social media and a contact us at the top of their help centre page. They may be able to at least tell you if it is their site sending them.

    I don't have a Calendly account, so I can't use the contact us page on their website, however I reached out on Twitter and they sent me a link to report it.
    As you can imagine, it's driving me a bit crazy haha

    Absolutely! I hope you can get it sorted.
    There was an 'I don't have an account' button on the Contact us page though which brought up a form.

    I kept blocking them, as they were coming from a few different emails. Even googling Calendly didn't really help as it just talked about a spam/hacking thing that happened earlier in the year but only to people who had an account.
    I tried the recover account thing just incase somebody had signed me up but I just got a "this email address does not have a registered account".
    They picked up my message via the contact form and replied today asking for proof but weirdly  I've not had any of the emails since making the complaint! Hoping it stays that way haha
