a) no one here is sending you emails, so your angst may be poorly directed.


b) I've never seen an email from Apple telling me that I'm at 50% capacity. I could understand if you were at 90% and they were suggesting you upgrade, but 50% just doesn't make sense. Therefore I'm suspicsious that this wasn't an actual email from Apple, rather a phishing attempt. Did you, by chance, click on any link in the email to 'go check'? If so, you should secure your account now.

The from address is irrelevant. It's trivial to send an email with any return address you like. Want an email from the president? easy.


The only thing that is relevant is any URL in the email that you're asked to click on to login or verify your account. IF that goes to a legitimate apple.com URL then it may be a legitimate email. Just about anything else is likely to be a scam. Scammers have got very good at tricking people into thinking the emails are legitimate.
