Email received possible scam

Hi - have received the following email and am concerned it may be a scam:

At Yahoo, We notice your email has not been confirmed for the new upgrade.

Shutdown commences 25th of September 2022, Kindly [email link removed] your Yahoo account to avoid account Shutdown. To upgrade, you'll need your Sky ID.

Any advice gratefully received

Cheers

It is indeed a well-reported scam. There's no upgrade, so no action is required. Just mark it as spam.

These do get reported on here a lot @Tilers789 , the thing to remember here is there should never be any need to update anything like this email wants you to and if that was ever the case Sky would not put a link in an email like that scam one did.
