Hi I received a notice that my iCloud account is going to be canceled because of payment? Please tell me this is a scam

Hi jahn257,

Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities. It looks like you came from the following support article: What does iCloud back up? - Apple Support

If you think this may be a phishing attempt, here are a few steps that may be useful:

1. Do not click on any links until you have verified the message as this could be a phishing attempt.
2. Go to your iCloud Account on the device or website to verify if there is an issue.
3. Check out the steps here: Recognize and avoid phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support

If you've followed those steps and determined that the message is legitimate, the steps here can help: If a message says 'billing problem with previous purchase' or 'verification required' - Apple Support

Have a great day.
