Suspicious email about expired payment method and potential data loss on iCloud Received this email twice this week: Dear user, We attempted to renew your Cloud+ subscription, but your payment method has expired. As a result, your personal data is now at risk of being permanently removed from iCloud. What you could lose: Photos and videos stored in Cloud Photos Contacts, calendars, and reminders Notes, documents, and app data Device backups (iPhone, iPad, Mac) To prevent data loss, please update your payment information immediately and continue enjoying seamless access to your files across all Apple devices. Then tells you to click in an area to Update Payment and Secure my Data 😳 This is definitely a SCAM. [Edited by Moderator] Original Title: Email Cloud/Storage

Sounds like a scam.

Does the email address you by name?
Post a screenshot of the email if you wish, as long as all personal information has been redacted.
