It sounds like you might possibly still be using My Photo Stream vice the newer iCloud Photos system.


Of course, scammers almost ALWAYS capitalize on the confusion surrounding these sorts of announcements to “ply their trade” so BEWARE.


You might not even be using My Photo Stream (i.e. you’re already on iCloud Photos)
