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.

    I’m starting to think I’m wrong somehow… Maybe i made an account long ago and forgot? I really don’t think so tho.

      Its possible some wires got crossed behind scenes, some database/software mixup.

      Maybe email proton support if you’re concerned? I’ve had some similar mixup happen with banking and they got it all sorted after I complained (I was getting emails intended for someone else).

      Edit: either way, I think you should let them know in case its phishing or something broken on their end.

      the address there can be faked, maybe your email client did not warn about it. if you can check the mail’s headers (maybe easier on desktop), look at all the addtesses you see in there and if thry seem suspicious.

      also check the link they sent. Don’t open it, but copy it only.
