Final warning.Never had one! We are disabling your Google play.Check account.also keeps telling me it needs cleaning 😭

I get those all the time! The email warnings always come up in the Spam folder and on texts!

I also keep getting physical letters and texts from a company in London, saying they're deleting/disabling ''my'' account I had with them for motorbike accidents I've had, as I've never replied!

I've literally never had a motorbike or scooter, I absolutely hate the awful, overly noisy, ugly things and have never been a passenger on one!

I've got a car, have had cars, and I've had pushbikes, but no motorbike/scooter ever!

My DH has run out of storage on iCloud or whatever and his iPhone won’t do an update. Not too bothered because when he frees up storage it will do the really annoying update that then requires proof of age. He is 77 and had a massive stroke that means he doesn’t tend to use his phone much so am leaving it.

I keep getting a warning that my storage is full and I need to updated my payment method. Usually at the top of the message it says, "it looks like this message is in Spanish," or Japanese or any other language.
It's funny though, I don't pay for storage, never have, never will be cause I don't need it.
I just delete them all.

My car annoys me when it gets all het-up because my coat / handbag / brolly isn't wearing its seatbelt...

I have had literally hundreds of emails telling me that my payment has been declined or that my storage is full or that they are deleting all my photos.
I reported them all as spam when they started - and that's all they are spam.
so don't ever click on any message of this sort.
if you can, check who it's from. I've checked several and the senders name is usually gobbledegook.
i'm still getting dozens a day but they all go in my spam folder now so I just delete them at the end of the day.

Just block them, then they can’t do it again.

Madwoman11 Tue 12-May-26 13:51:34

Scams ! Ignore them

Delete & Block …. Reduces a little

Minimoon,i get same! It bloody annoys me,because i still have LOADS of storage! When i first got it,i rang my son (at uni) just to check and he said whats in send box, ?i told him he confirmed its spam or phishing,warned me not to open it.Now i delete them or send to 'unwanted' but its still riles me that they keep coming.🤬i never got them on my old phone.

I forward such messages to [email protected] then block/delete them.

They are trying to get you to purchase "space" for your data. I even get them in Spanish when on hols. I just report as spam and delete 😊

sandelf Tue 12-May-26 15:00:20

Don't touch but forward to [email protected]

Yes, forward to phishing and block.

Kitty55 Tue 12-May-26 15:53:25

You can block them on an iPhone but it doesn’t always work. Worth trying though

Mine too! I've got so fed up with it telling me off that I've taken to keeping the front passenger belt firmly fastened at all times - that is, until I actually have to pick up a passenger!!

HMWALES Tue 12-May-26 17:36:21

Just delete and ignore. If you can't delete see if there are three dots up in right hand corner of screen, tap them and you might get up options lick spam, block etc....tap the block or the spam. Hope this might help.

HMWALES Tue 12-May-26 17:39:01

further to above post I meant "options LIKE spam, block etc"

Delete all the storage warnings from iCloud - fakes in abundance

Sheila4483 Thu 14-May-26 11:15:25

Make sure you have anti virus/spam software on your phone.

Lots of messages telling me my phone would not work past October from Tesco but Samsung disagreed. Worked Ok until O2 broke the transmitter in January - now neither of us get signal at home, so I had to pay out for a new phone to make a connection through my broadband. Landline switched off.
Progress?

CV2020 Mon 18-May-26 07:55:13

Me too. It’s so annoying!
