I don't remember why I did it, but I created a Samsung account,
probably I thought it would be useful or helpful. But then I got
pestered for ages about agreeing to new terms and
conditions. Eventually I signed in and agreed to them because there
was no way to stop the notifications. Then I got pestered with
notices about logging into my account, although it wasn't me, it
was the phone. I've now deleted my Samsung account but I wonder
what the point of it was, and why I couldn't turn of notifications?
I would ask Samsung but it seems they don't like people contacting
them.

I'm posting this with a Samsung Galaxy S9FE tablet which I recently
 acquired. Likewise it kept bugging me to turn on the Samsung
 account. I have a Samsung Galaxy S10+ phone so I went through the
 same thing with it some years back. My solution was to use my fake
 name and email and sign in then, and so did it again with this
 tablet. No more bugging and everything is working fine. If you
 can't fight it, join it...  ;)

The notifications are via e-mail instead of SMS text?

For me the "bugging" was through various popups on the device. So far
no email on my fake account after my latest sign-in and no text since
they don't have my phone number. Dunno about Richmond...

As far as I remember they were notifications, but when I went into the
notifications options they were not listed so I couldn't block them or
see what app they were coming from. I have now created a new account...

(What is a fake account? if you have access to the email then it isn't
fake?)
