Is this a phishing email?

mouthyangel — Mon, 08 Jun 2026 16:04:10 GMT

Hi I received this email today but I'm not sure if it's legit. My direct debits have already been paid and aren't due again until the last week of June. Any thoughts as the account number doesn't match either but my email does. thank you

You upload image has some personal details on it which not allowed and has been removed so we can not see anything

That email is from Sky as not only does it address you by your first name but also has your account number on (as it is for this reason the image can not be shown) so you will need to look into your billing method by updating it as per the message.

@caesarome I would observe that in the op the poster states that the account number doesn't match where they believe to be their account number

@SKY1992bf

I hadn't spotted that but as there are no links in the email it does read as if it is from Sky as it is asking @mouthyangel to update their payment details as there is an issue with those that are oin the account at ptesent.

Hi I left the account number on the image as it does not relate to me at all which is why I thought it may be a suspicious email.

@SKY1992bf . I HAD AN EMAIL THIS MORNING ALLEGEDLY FROM SKY SAYING THAT I SHOULD LOOK AT MY ACCOUNT REGARDING DIRECT DEBIT/CREDIT CARD INVALID. IT HAD MY NAME ON IT, BUT I CHECKED o& THE ACCOUNT NUMBER IS NOT MINE. THE EMAIL WANTED ME TO LOGIN TO MY SKY. I WILL FORWARD IT ON TO REPORT AT FISHING.COM

That URL appears to land on a parking page for an inactive domain name (which is presumably available for purchase by a supplier of rods, hooks and lines for a suitably large number of dollars ; )

In the UK the appropriate address is

@TimmyBGood . Sorry I do know it's "phishing " & I have forwarded the email to the relevant email address. Sadly I forward a lot of scam emails.
