Dodgy E.mail

I have received an e.mail asking me to click a link to update as Sky Yahoo are updating their security. It has come from robertberyl  I assume this is a scam and should be marked as spam?

It is a scam email as Sky/Yahoo would never send you an email out of the blue asking you to click a link to update something. My guess is that email doesn't address you by your actual name either which is another sign it isn't from Sky as they would address you by your name and not say something like Dear User or Dear member. 

 

Mark the email as spam and keep doing the same should you be sent anymore.
