Question

Is this a scam? Your iCloud has been blocked as 2-20-2025

I got an email this morning saying your iCloud account has been blocked! Your photos and videos will be deleted 02-20-2025! The email says it’s from accounts department from iCloud Support team, Your subscription has expired on 02-20-2025. Click below to renew subscription, which I didn’t click on. In reply to: car*********le.com. At the very bottom of email it says to unsubscribe clicking the link or writing to 6705 W ***********ustin, TX 7***5

I received the same exact email this morning. From my searches, I'm guessing it is indeed a scam or phishing email to get us to log in. I would definitely not open any links or even click on the "unsubscribe". Best to just block, mark as junk and delete.
