E mails saying that if i don’t update iCloud by using an email I’m not familiar with they will delete all my files and my photos is this a scheme for identity theft?

It’s saying if I don’t update my iCloud account that it’s going to delete all my data that is stored in my iCloud account but I pay a monthly price for extras storage. The email they want to send me to to update My iCloud account is not recognizable. It sends this email to me three or four times a week then says I have 24 hours to go to the website (each time a different email )or it’s going to delete my photos and such and it never happens, is this a fishing scheme?

iPhone XS, iOS 17
