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.

Don't Proton emails come starred or marked as oficial? At least on the Android app, for me, it shows 'Oficial'

Can confirm in the iOS app that messages from proton official have a special badge

Oh, really? This one didn’t have any badge at all. I’m confused.

To clarify, they have a badge in the proton client you’re in the ios mail app. Everything I can tell from this email makes it seem legit, this may be a false positive on you’re end ‘mfraid.

Ah okay, yes the official one does. Yes, I think its a false positive… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
