Scam Sky E mail?

[upsetwiththis]

Is <sky (ampersand) email.contact.sky> a valid E mail?  I am being offered Sky Essential TV for £11 a month.

@upsetwiththis  How does it address you?

dear customer or by your first name if the former it's likely to be fake 

[upsetwiththis]

It addresses me 'Hello [correct abbreviated first name].'  It's the lack of '.co' or '.com' that has made me suspicious.

dot sky is a legitimate top level domain (TLD) registered to Sky International AG in Switzerland which manages it on behalf of Sky Group (a division of the Comcast Corporation) : it's been around for a decade since the ICANN gTLD expansion.

There are far more TLDs than most people are aware of: you've demonstrated why in practice they are rarely used.

Thank you all.  It would appear that the address with which I was concerned is genuine.  

Thank you very much for all your help.  🙂
