Hi, I never accepted to receive emails from Apple but I received this email, too. Of course I cancelled my subscription, but the strange thing is that the email that received the email IS NOT the real email I use: as you surely know, if you have an account with Gmail like my.account@gmail.com, you automatically have myaccount@gmail.com, the same but without the dot.

Let's say I use the one with the dot, I received the email addressed to the other one, account I NEVER used in my life and which normally receives a lot of spam.

Strange, don't you think?

Impossible, otherwise a new device would have appeared in Find my device. And then I use all the security options such as two-step verification.😕

However, soon I will modify it.😉

Um, no. Someone else using your Apple ID wouldn't cause a new device to show up in Find My Device. Only if they used your Apple ID on their device under Settings > iCloud, and also turned on the Find My iPhone function would that happen.

Two-step verification prevent this totally, in any case.

This is not spam. It's advertising, because you elected to sign up for that. Simply follow the directions you've been given to opt out.

I think the point here is that anyone can put an unsubscribe link at the bottom of a fake email. Is the address listed a verified Apple address?
