Discussion topic: Is this a scam?

Hi,

I just received this email. Is it a scam?

I don't know anyone called Kennedy and I haven't referred anyone to Sky!

It's just weird that they got my first name right.

Hello *my first name*

Great news! Because you joined Sky using the unique link you were sent, you and Kennedy have both earned a £75 reward voucher to spend.

You can put it towards whatever you like, from money off your weekly food shop, to treating yourself at your favourite store. Plus, you’ve got 11 months to decide and spend your voucher.

@Jeanne1812 Given it addresses you by name and names the person who shared a sign up link (which i presume is the way you signed up to Sky?) it would appear genuine.

Like you I'm a customer here, Sky Employees are clearly identified as such.

@Jeanne1812

It sounds like it is from the Refer a Friend program so did you or Kennedy use a referral link as per this when you/they joined Sky:

I joined a month ago at a local mall, where they had a tiny office in the middle of the central walkway, and I don't know anyone called Kennedy. I've never referred a friend at all.

Not sure why it would have triggered the referral scheme but could Kennedy be the person you were speaking with and who signed you up at the Sky stand?

Hi - yes, good thinking! That's a real possibilty. I'll click on it to claim, but will be careful if it asks for bank details, etc. Thanks so much for your input!
