Suspiscious Email from Sky.

The sender's email address seems very suspiscious. It was sent by someone at 'dwidayatravel.com'.

 

I suspect this email to be spam. Can anyone confirm whether it is spam or whether it is genuine.

Allan.

You are correct @AllanC2 is is spam so mark it as so. There are a few ways to tell, firstly if it was from Sky they would address you by your first name and not just "Dear Sky Mail customer". Secondly Sky would never send you an email out of the blue with a link to be clicked through and finally any updates to the email platform would be done by Sky or Yahoo. So you were right to be suspicious of this.

Re: Suspiscious Email from Sky.

I've had a very similar email this morning with 3 non-Sky email addresses as Sender. It's being marked as spam immediately.

Quite right. There's no 'Classic' version of Sky Yahoo Mail.
