Hi guys, I have received an email saying that I won a VIP competition that I did enter but how do I know if the email is fake or real. The email is asking for my full Name and Address.

@Apxbk

If you go back into the app and to the competitions section is there any notification there from Sky regarding this ?

I meant the competition section in general, is there anything there for you ?

If there was nothing there in the competition section for you then do you know what competition it was ?

All you can do is to call Sky about this.

Thanks I did call but not sure the agent understood what I was asking.

Hello. Can I ask if this was ever resolved? I have also received an email telling me that I've won a competition that I did enter. I stupidly sent them my address without thinking and have been worrying ever since. I contacted online support and was advised to ignore the email, but like you, I don't think they knew what I was asking about. They have now sent me something in the mail, said that there may be customs charges and that they will reimburse them if they're are any. I now believe this to be a scam. Has anyone else received such emails?

I would say that is very likely to be a scam so should anything arrive do not accept it and also make sure you change your password on your email address.
