I used the method described at Ars Technica, and it worked. I can't believe that Apple exposed us to that kind thing. Freaking Chinese spammers.

The trick is going online to your iCloud account. just go to http://www.icloud.com and log into your iCloud account with your Apple ID. Only in your online calendar does there appear to be the necessary preference to have future spam sent to email instead of calendar.

Also, it appears that the only way to get rid of the stuff is to "accept" it so that it will show up in a calendar. Then you can delete the calendar. But don't do it without first setting spam (invite notifications) to go to email, or you will be inundated with calendar spam. Geez. Brilliant spammers, really: what's more effective than a notification popping up on your screen that you need to go shop for such-and-such at a certain time?

Once again, I cannot believe that Apple left the door open on that one. Bad Apple! Bad Apple!
