Phising email?

legallyyours — Sun, 25 Jan 2026 03:41:39 GMT

Not sure if this is legit., received at one of my alternative emails out of the blue. The account ID did have my other email address in it. All links were highlighted.:

Hello. This is a message from the Samsung Cloud service.

As per our service's policy, your data in Samsung Cloud including data stored in Smart TV, Family Hub, and Galaxy Wearable will be deleted on 2026-03-31, the day you will have been inactive for more than 12 months. Once deleted, your data cannot be recovered.

If you visit Samsung Cloud, you can check your Samsung Cloud data, but there may be an additional authentication process for verifying your Samsung account.

I got that same email in two of my accounts today. I do not think it's legit.

You can think that, but it's not true. Samsung deleting inactive Cloud accounts was reported by many tech sites last year. Here's just one article:
