Suspect email

Annie68 — Tue, 31 Oct 2023 08:10:25 GMT

I have received an email from Sky saying that I have been ignoring emials to upgrade my email account. I do not recall having received these. It says that if I do not upgrade,my email account will be deactivated and that they started doing so from 18th October. Is this genuine or a scam?

It's not from Sky and is a widely reported attempt to scam you. There's no upgrade. Just mark it as spam, but otherwise ignore it.

Thank you. I thought it was. When you say it is a widely reported scam, where has it been reported as I have not seen any warnings from Sky. Thanks.
