    Hey pflipper, let's jump right into this! 

    It's best to ignore the invite, and not to click on anything in the email that you received since you don't know the sender.

    Keep in mind that I suggest that you also report this email using this form. You can't block users when using Dropbox, but reporting them will help us keep an eye out.

    If you need something else, please let me know and I will be more than happy to help every step of the way.
