Happens on Mac, too

I got a spam "meeting" in my Calendar.app, and it is annoying.
Only happened once, but it has to be one of the most intrusive
methods of harassment I've seen in a while.

Spam and 419 are two different things

A lot of people are calling the frauds know as 419 spam. It really confuses the issue. Spam is unsolicited business email. The information that you are talking about is outright fraud and a scam. Not all Spam are Scams and not all Scams are Spam.
I got one too

I was using Google calender for about a week before I saw one of these. It was about two months ago or so and it was the only one I've seen since. But I remember getting frustrated beyond belief trying to find a way to get in contact with Google to report it.

I never did find one.

Well at least I found one solid comparison with Google and Microsoft. The support of both of them just runs you in circles unless your paying for the help. Even if your just trying to report a possible issue.
