Scam or not?

E mail purportedly from Sky this morning stating - we have prevented delivery of 5 emails to your in box as of *21-09-2023* because you have a older version installed.

 

To view your message click on the link below ..... 

 

I haven't but further email received about an hour later ' Prior to Sky Agreement ' etc seeking to hit a further link  - 'Click here to cancel termination.'

 

Beware - looks very dodgy!

That is scam, it is a slightly different one as I haven't seen it reported before but a scam none the less as the tell tale sign is this wording:

 

because you have a older version installed.

There is not an older version and neither would Sky ask you to click a link to update or access your emails.

 

Mark this a spam and keep doing the same should you be sent anymore.
