I received this email from Sky Admin services:

Is this real? A scam?
Thanks

It's a (fairly frequent) scam. There is no Email update.

Re: Scam or real email from Sky?
@jimbo67 Are you marking it as spam?
Scammers use multiple fake email addresses it would be impossible for Yahoo to identify them all as spam.

@Su12 it's an attempt to scam you. The link takes you to a fraudulent website designed to capture your login details. Just mark it as spam,.
