E-Mail Sync emails - Are they a scam?

I have now received a numerous number of these emails, all originating from different email addresses and suspect them to be a phising scam.

 

The emails look like this;

Please do not reply to this e-mail. 
Mail sent to this address cannot be answered.

 

Some also include the SKY logo but, all when you copy the link and open it, require you to put in your SKY username and password.

 

1. Has anyone else received these?

2. Is it a scam as I suspect?

 

Many thanks.

Brian

Thanks Mark39, very much my thought,

Looking back to some of the others, they seem to come from someone who has hijacked Talk Talk email accounts.

Thanks again

Brian.
