@Canmore It's a phishing scam designed to obtain personal details, Sky would never email you to tell you of any email updates as these would be done on the background without the need for user intervention.

Your post has also been moved from the broadband board as this isn't a broadband related issue but a Sky/Yaboo email query.

@Canmore

There are a few thing to look out for on emails like this:

They don't address you by your actual name ?

It is sent from an aol.com email address and not a Sky one.

The blunt nature of the email.

Sky would not send you an unexpected email asking you to click a link in it/

This actual email scam has been going around for years.

100% scam. The 'from' address is an AOL account.
No doubt the link will take you to a fake Sky log in page.
