Yes, it's almost certainly a scam. The link will take you to a fake login page designed to capture your user name and password.  Mark it as spam and delete it.

100% scam. If you hover the mouse over any links I bet they do not point to a genuine Sky url.

That will be the address of someone who previously fell for the scam.
