GiovaniDL695yEverything was 'normal' until I realize... it was a fucking calendar notification lmaaaaooo what the heck
-
I have similar issue. Just uncheck in calendar settings an auto add from gmail to calendar option.

@RememberMe it is good feature, however event from spam category should not be added.

@RememberMe it really is a useful feature lol
I bought concert tickets like 3 or 4 months before the concert actually happened, and whenever I got the confirmation email, it added the concert to my calendar, which is helpful considering the amount of time between whenever I purchased them and whenever the concert actually was -
@Stuxnet I agree it's useful in cases like that, but considering the small value added by it minus the big loss in value from spam... I'll keep it off for now, till they manage to block stuff a bit more reliably.
I don't mind having services that are useful but I do mind getting spammed, especially in places like the Calendar which I like keeping clean and organised. -
Just clearing this up.. it is probably an NFC beacon (as it says "nearby"), not an email scraping thing.
Anyone can set up these beacons for a few dollars. I used to have one permanently enabled running from my laptop that would broadcast random urls to people nearby (this shows up on the IOS lockscreen too)
Turn off Bluetooth, or beacon searching on your phone
Excuse me what the fuck
