Lately spammers seem to be coopting a feature in Gmail, and other email platforms, where a calendar appointment is automatically entered into a user’s calendar. To prevent these appointments from automatically appearing through your Gmail account, watch my demonstration to disable this feature or follow the instructions below:

How to configure Gmail to only allow appointments from known senders.

I hope this helps!
