Scam or legitimate email from Sky for Netflix

Hi all, need advice as my email was hacked last year and I'm now VERY cautious of clicking links. My normal promo emails from Sky seem to come from: sky at newsletter.....

 

But recently, I'm getting a *lot* of emails including one yesterday with an offer of 2 months of Netflix then 'just £5.99 a month' came from: sky at email dot contact dot sky

 

Is 'sky at email dot contact dot sky' a legit email from Sky or should I block it as a scam? 

 

I've had around 12 emails recently from that email, they're all branded and look authentic apart from the pictures/images in them don't show in the email as they normally do with Sky's emails. They're so similar I just don't know but I'd like to take up the offer, if it's legitimate. They're always addressed to me, rather than generic. 

 

What say you?

If it genuinely try loving it to my Sky and see if the offer there if not it's scam. The email address seems a bit iffy to me. Genuine offer from usual telling to logon to Sky account. Do not pre any button on the a the email. Only log in via Sky.com or. my Sky. Also if it genuinely try loving they should not be asking you for any count details Sky l ready know them so why ask,

dot sky is a legitimate top level domain (TLD) registered to Sky International AG in Switzerland which manages it on behalf of Sky Group (a division of the Comcast Corporation) : it's been around for a decade since the ICANN gTLD expansion started permitting the registration of brand names..  Addresses within the domain are employed for Sky communication and aren't available to other organisations, businesses or users unless these are expressly permitted by Sky.

Incidentally there are far more TLDs than most people are aware of: you've demonstrated why in practice they are rarely used.
