That is not true, Apple is not trying to instill fear. If you removed an email the contacts were attached to them. go here - Contacts

Conspiracies are “unproven hypotheses” which hold no definitive proof or fact.

What happened to my stored contacts on iPhone was not something caused by my own hand, but rather an intentional act by an “alternative party.”

Circumstantial evidences supports the finding that Apple was that party (with motive, intent, and opportunity).

FN: This event occurred TWICE. Two separate occasions.

Verdict: Apple “likely” did indeed (via program and process) act to delete my (et. al.) Contacts from iPhone.

Sync Through iCloud:

Enable Contacts on all of the devices associated to your Apple ID, and it would pop up. So, if a computer has these contacts, then enable Contacts in its iCloud Settings on both devices.
