Marketing email's subject made me think my card got hacked

A hostel company I stayed with a while back emailed me with the subject: "Your booking is confirmed!". This made me frantically check all my accounts since I hadn't booked any hostels recently. I was super concerned until I opened the email and saw... it was a stupid marketing email...

This kind of marketing should be illegal. Don't use Clink Hostels.

And report the email as spam on Gmail

Op is using ProtonMail, there's a report button there also.

I hope Gmail aggregates the reports from other platforms, because most of Clink's target market uses Gmail
