    Not sure how they can be spam. Unless a spammer has access to your tenant, which would be unusual and bad.

    I suspect that someone else added you to some Teams. Or that your organization has some Teams set for certain people automatically be a member of.

    You can try to unjoin them.

      The thing is I never accepted it or have any emails on it. Just appeared on teams recently and I can’t seem to remove it.

        Sounds like admin created groups then. Check with your admins.

    I just came across this.
    I created a personal teams account only to join a meeting for a job interview some time ago.
    I just opened up teams again, and I was in a group titled along the lines of "Boobs Here. Click here for BOOBS". I deleted it, but I could not find any button to report the group as spam.

      SpencerTinnin sorry to revive this one. Just started using personal Teams and boobs popped up for me as well. I'm unable to delete it. 

      Do you remember how you were able to delete it? 

      The user is now Unknown User, thus can't see the person in the Contacts.. 

      TIA!
