iTunes email: Problem with Payment Information

I just got an email titled "There is a problem with your payment information". I can't see anything wrong but my extra iCloud storage will be deleted if I don't correct this unknown problem within about one week. Where can I get help to sort this out? Nothing has changed.


Thanks.

Actually this is really sophisticated phishing attempt. In my mail I was advised you to go to settings, general, iTunes and App Store (and of course this option no longer exists on phones). At the bottom of the mail it then says you can update on a Mac or PC (both in blue and clickable links). And there is the phishing link.


What concerns me is that they knew my billing cycle (date and amount) allowing the algorithm to identify the storage plan - as mail correctly addressed the plan size)

I just got it this morning. I decided to add a small sum to my iTunes Store balance, using the same payment method that is supposedly the "problem." The payment immediately processed. So, what's the problem? I'm still not sure if this is an Apple glitch or sophisticated phishing. Any official statement from Apple in the 2 months since the first post?

I have been getting lots of emails saying my apple payment is not correct, error and correct it. When I try to it won't accept the form of payment of the same credit card always used. Not only that, my TV apps, also say my payment it not connected, must update. But in my wallet it shows perfect all my info. this must be a scam. never seen this before. I did update my phone and computer, and still has not cleared. I just saw today a new update in which I am doing it now, hopefully all will go away.
