Re: Why does this come with som regularity? SPAM?

Be aware of repeated attempts to scare you, or to get you to click on links, unsubscribe, log-in somewhere, or send personal info. etc. Scammers want personal info., and or money, or ways they can devise to get it.

"iCloud+ full storage alert despite 2TB available: I got from norepy@email.apple.com an alert that my icloud+ is full and must be upgraded. When check i have 2 TB and uses merely a portion of that. Why does this come with som regularity? SPAM?"

For the Note:

iCloud Seen Incorrect on a Device: Though it is a scam in your eMail, this can be seen at times Settings in your iOS or macOS(a commonly-reported bug). Signing out of your Apple Account in Settings on the device, and then signing back in, will fix this inconsistency, all together.
