I am already paying for 2TB on my Apple account please use this into my iCloud. Why is this not already being used been paying for years.

Got an email stating that my free 5GB is full and that I need to upgrade. I have been paying $9.99 for 2TB for years - why is my 2TB not being used? Please see to this and fix account information to this account. Make sure I haven't been wasting my money. If so I would like a $10.00 refund for every month paid for the 2TB and Apple didn't apply the 2TB to my account.

Thank you -

If you go to Settings/Your Name/iCloud, how much iCloud storage shows there? Are you using the same Apple ID that has the iCloud storage subscription?


If it shows that you do have 2TB of storage, are you sure the email is legitimate? Does it have a link for you to click?


Apple will always address you by your name or the name they have on file for you, not Dear Customer, Dear Client or by using your e-mail address.  The e-mail will be from @apple.com or @iTunes.com. E-mail addresses can be spoofed. You can go to Mail/View/Message/Show all Headers to see more. Apple emails won't have poor grammar/misspellings. Apple e-mails will never contain an attachment. Apple will never request personal information by email such as Social Security numbers, your Mother’s maiden name or full credit card numbers . 


The only exception to the above I have noticed is if you order something from the Apple Store (apple.com), your receipt will be addressed to Dear Apple Customer. That is a receipt for a purchase you initiated.

Send the e-mail to Apple as an attachment to a new e-mail before deleting it. You can forward as an attachment by going to Mail/Message/Forward as attachment. Or control - click on the email and select Forward as attachment. Make sure you send it as an attachment to a new email. If you just forward it, it will probably be rejected. You won’t receive a response.
