Same issue here. The issue is apparently deaf to the resident "Super User's" ears. I am an intelligent person. The Dropbox process is confusing and frankly the wording is misrepresenting what actually takes place.

I lost control  of my confidential files. The "admin" deleted my account and now suppport is in the process of restoring my account to its original state.

We have been warning all users not to use Dropbox until this "feature" is eliminated due to phishing risks. I would recommend transferring your files to a different service in the meanwhile.

This is a known IT security risk.
