This seems like a scam as its generically addressed with a salutation and not your name.

Of you hover over the sender I doubt it will be from TalkTalk or Everymail. If so just delete it and don't click in the link.

For a start, Talktalk doesn't sign itself with a hyphenated "Talk-Talk", @Tootles and if you hover over the sender's name you'll probably find it's someone's spoofed or harvested email address.

So no, not legitimate.

Report it and bin it.

It's a variation of the emails that scammers have been sending out in recent months exploiting changes in how Talktalk manages the email service - so they must be from someone who observes ongoing developments at Talktalk quite closely. Rather a worry!
