Just read about a new scam. Those w/ iPhones may receive a text message that their icloud storage is full and to click on icon to add more storage.

 

Apple does notify users if they are reaching icloud storage capacity BUT they send it thru the notification option on your phone or your account NOT by a text.

 

As with everything these days, don't click. Go directly to your account to see where things stand.

 

Stay safe!

You can't trust anything anymore.  Better to go directly to the company website or your account.

 

Thanks for the heads up.

Re: SCAM - iPhone Cloud Storage

I keep getting emails saying my photos will be deleted from my "Cloud" storage. I don't have Cloud storage!  An immediate delete.

I have been getting those emails for a few months.  I report as spam and block and I still get them.

Unfortunately this is not new. It started months and months ago.

These have been around for a couple of years about your so called cloud account.  I do not have one so I knew it was a scam.
