Random people are linking gmail accounts to my sky account

Random gmail accounts are constantly being linked to my sky email (around 50 emails a day), i'm sick of having to constantly unlink my account from these spam accounts, is their any way that you can blacklist your own account so that other people cannot use it.

Can you clarify what you mean by being linked, and what you have to do to unlink them?

My sky email is being added as an 'alternative address' for tons of random foreign gmails. Then it says if this was not you then click here, you click there and press unlink and its done. However this is happening about 50 times a day.

That isn't a good idea to do that as you are just telling the spammers that you email address is active.

 

You might stop getting these after a while or you could dump your email address and set one up a fresh somewhere like Gmail and use that.

It sounds like your account has been compromised (did you reply to an email that asked you  to update//verify your account)?

The best thing to do is change your password, https://skyid.sky.com/resetpassword/email and then remove any changes the spammers have made to your Sky settings.

+1 for changing your account password immediately as it does sound like your account has been compromised.
