Q: Storage exceeding the 5mb after Sept. 30th.

I received an email that states that I am using 34.25mb of storage exceeding the 5mb afforded  to me after Sept. 30. When I checked my iCloud account it says that I have 24 of my 25mg available. What do I believe? Is this email a scam?

iCloud, iOS 6.1.4

    If this is what you got it's legit:

     

    Dear Old Toad,                                                                                                                

     

    As a thank you for being a former MobileMe member, you received a 20 GB complimentary storage upgrade when you moved to iCloud. Your upgrade expires on September 30, 2013.

     

    When it expires, your iCloud storage will be automatically adjusted to the free 5 GB plan. You are currently using 555.92 MB of storage.

     

    For more information, see this article

     

    The iCloud Team

     

    We've all been given free 20 GB storage until September 30.  Go to your System/iCloud preference pane, click on the Manage button, then on the Change Storeage Plan button and sign up for the additional 20 GB of storage (at a cost of $40/year).

     

    You can see how much storage is being used by each category when you click on the Manage button.
