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!
