Yep, it's a scam. The link is fraudulent, designed to capture your login credentials. Just mark it as spam.

@Persipoo

Any emails from Sky will address you by your name and not start with something like Dear User, they also would never send you an email asking you to update your email account as any updating will be done by them and Yahoo.
