Reciveved this email last week and can't tell if it is a phishing scam or not??

It has the green badge of a recognised sender but the emial address mentioned in the e-mail is not mine. Also there were two other e-mails from the same source. One asking to confirm an alternative email address by clicking a big button with a similar email address in it, and a second then providing a long link to change my e-mail. All relatd tot he mystery email in the emial below?

 

It seems suspicious but looks the most ligitimate I've ever seen if it is Phishing...Any Advice?

 

The first e-mail was.....
