Hi yall, I have been receiving these email for a while now. The email address is no-reply@notify.proton.me but I’m pretty sure this is a phishing attack because not the first email (the one in blue) or the second account name (the one in red) are my proton account.
Someone knows these 2 gmail accounts and knows I have a proton one but doesn’t know the correct proton account name. Ofc my proton account is not linked these emails, not even for recovery situations.
Just heads up, this was not easy to spot.

Isnt proton.me their real url, or does it lead you somewhere else when you click it?
https://proton.me
You sneaky boi
Proton.me is their real url, but is that link taking you to proton.me?
It seems to lead to proton.me but maybe I’m not expert enough.
They may have the ‘official’ url in the link, but there’s a good chance they might be piped/redirected through a malicious server under the spammer’s control to log your keystrokes.
