Posted by a Superuser, not a Sky employee. Find out moreThat reads as a scam message to me @DP046 , you will note how they want you to click a button which will probably direct to a website thst you do not want to be on. If you received this via email then mark it as spam so it gets deleted.

I'd wager both the connection protection button and app store are fake sites.

Hi yes I realised straight away it may be a scam so I didn't click on anything but the problem now is that I am getting messages saying my ISP,/IP address is outside the uk and this is what I need help with. Thanks
