You're right, it's not from Sky. Just mark,it as spam.

The link in the email takes you to a fictitious website designed to capture your login details which will be used by a scammer to gain access to your account.

I got exactly the same email, which came from a random yahoo account. I didnt click the link.

I came on here to warn others, glad to see you'd beaten me to it.
