Suspect email

‎31 Oct 2023 08:10 AM

I have received an email from Sky saying that I have been ignoring emials to upgrade my email account.  I do not recall having received these.  It says that if I do not upgrade,my email account will be deactivated and that they started doing so from 18th October.   Is this genuine or a scam?

It's not from Sky and is a widely reported attempt to scam you. There's no upgrade. Just mark it as spam, but otherwise ignore it.

Thank you.  I thought it was.  When you say it is a widely reported scam, where has it been reported as I have not seen any warnings from Sky.  Thanks.

100's of posts just in this forum, we see them everyday, searching online also returns info on these scams which affects lots of providers, google email update scam

Like you I'm a customer here, Sky Employees are clearly identified as such.
