One more step from another source:

Blocking future calendar spam is less involved but requires a visit to your iCloud account using a DESKTOP BROWSER. Log in to your iCloud account and go to the Calendar Web app, click on the Settings gear icon in the bottom left corner of the Calendar view, and click Preferences.

The pop-up menu on the iCloud Calendar Web view, pick "Preferences."

Click the "Advanced" button in the Preferences pop-up window. At the bottom of the window, change the Invitations setting for "Receive event invitations as:" from "In-app notifications" to "Email to [your iCloud account address]." Enter your email address you prefer to use.

This will turn off the automatic integration of iCloud Calendar with your Calendar app and allow your spam filters to block unwanted invitations.

You will now receive invitations in your email instead of automatically marking the time and day in your calendar and requiring you to accept or decline — which tells the spammer that there is a live human being with a legitimate account at the other end. This all gets rid of the spam with out notifying the spammer of such valuable information once and for all, and keeps them from knowing they can keep sending it. Your MAIL APP spam filter will keep you from seeing unwanted invitations and you should still see invitations from your friends and family who are in your contact list.

These spam invites are a nuisance and it is nice to know there is a work around but why hasn’t Apple addressed the problem?
