"Your iCloud storage is full.But, as part of your
loyalty program, you can now receive an additional 50 GB for free before the files on your iCloud Drive are deleted.
RECIEVE 50 GB"

Sounds a bit spammy.
They don't normally threaten to delete your files - just that you can't add any more.
Is it deffo from iCloud?
Never heard of a loyalty program either.

Billion percent scam!

Do they have a Nigerian email address?

Yes - sounds dodgy now you mention it.

If that's an exact copy of the message/email, then it's definitely dangerous. The punctuation and spelling errors are obvious.

Yeah, that's not from Apple.

No grammatical errors as far as I could see, but I'll take everyone's advice and ignore it.

Incidentally I keep getting emails which I report as spam but I still keep getting them.

"Receive" is spelled incorrectly, and there's a missing space after a period. Add in the suspicious email and everything points to malicious intent.

That "Golden Rule" doesn't always apply, as there are exceptions, for e.g :-

Glacier
Fancier
Science

There are actually more exceptions than there are followers of the rule! It's a useful rhyme in schools for some of the most common words, but quite misleading for the language as a whole.

Herc, I was agreeing with you and adding additional context. Don't jump to defensiveness so easily!
