strange files in activities

Hello, for some time now, in my Dropbox activities, there's a file named "bonus scommesse.jpg" that I didn't create. It is displayed occasionally, not by my doing, and it requires access to be opened...

Hi Lordarioch77, could you check this page to see if it was a shared file?

Hi. No, it's empty.

    Just so we can check this, Lordarioch77, can you send us a screenshot of what you see when you try to open it? 

     

    You said that it says you need to request access to see it?

     

    And you never received any emails from anyone sharing this file with you?

        Thanks for the screenshot, Lordarioch77.

         

        Can you check any other email addresses you might have, to see if someone invited you to this file or to a folder containing this file?
