| Apple users beware fake iCloud storage emails |
iCloud is Apple’s storage service, which allows customers to store photos, files, passwords and other data online. But scammers are impersonating Apple, sending fake emails claiming your storage is full, your payment method is outdated or that there's suspicious activity on your account.
Their aim is to rush you into clicking on dodgy links in the email, where they'll try to steal your personal and financial details.
Check out the six signs to look out for to identify and report these scam emails.

| A bizarre case of 'number spoofing' |
We heard from someone left very confused because they received a text from what appeared to be their own number. Although the message seemed innocuous enough, one thing seems likely: it's a case of number spoofing, where scammers are able to display a false caller ID to prevent any comeback for their crimes.
Should they simply delete the message and block the number? Find out what we recommend you do if you receive a similar message.

This email uses a 'clear image gif' to track interactions with the email, for example to see whether it has been opened. This helps us understand how useful our emails are, so we can improve them in future. If you wish to turn off this tracking for future emails, you can do so in your email settings by turning off automated download of images. While all our public-facing work takes place under the Which? brand, technically it's carried out by a number of different legal entities. See the
