I've been receiving notifications that my subscription for a cloud service has expired, and it seems my payment card isn't working anymore. The thing is, I don't recall ever signing up for any paid cloud services—I usually back everything up on my own hard drives. Do I actually need a cloud service for my backups?

First off, what cloud services are you using? If you've set up something like OneDrive or other syncing options, that might be it. Just keeping an eye on what you have linked could help clear things up!
Does the email address look legit? If it’s coming from something like a random Gmail address, it’s probably not trustworthy. Always that extra layer to double-check!
It sounds like you might be dealing with scareware. Check your browser settings to manage notifications. Sometimes you accidentally click on something sketchy that asks for permission to send alerts. Just block any suspicious sites you find there! If you're using Edge, there's a recent feature for scareware prevention you can check out.
Yeah, I think that's the issue! There’s no clear indication of which service is sending the notifications. I tried clicking for support, but it triggers a warning from my antivirus about it being a phishing attempt. Seeing the mention of Outlook makes me think it might just be a scam.
