I keep getting email messages from “iCloud” telling me my payment method on file is not usable. Also telling me my storage is nearly full - which is not correct. I suspect these emails to be Scam. Please advise me. Creegan

Hard to offer any advice, without any context at all. Can you post an example of these emails? Redact any personal details if you do.
Apple will always address you by the full name they have on file for your iCloud account. They will never use just your email address or "Dear Customer" or "Kind sir" etc...

That depends on who's asking for it.
Your payment info should already be part of your Apple ID, and iCloud can use it from there.
There is no need and no way to specifically give it to iCloud directly.
Can you explain exactly what is happening?
Are you receiving text messages or emails asking for your payment info?

thank you for that.
I checked my CC info on file with you. It’s valid. Also, I’m using only 50% of available storage. The same “scam” folks send me emails saying I’m almost out of storage. That got my attention too. I will forward the offending email for your attention. Thanks again.
