Suspicious email about a charge?
I received this email today and don’t know what to make of it. I definitely didn’t buy what is in the invoice. The email this came from is non-reply@dropbox.com. It has the drop box logo and at the bottom of the page it says Dropbox invoice but everything in the email says PayPal. I took screenshots I wish I could upload on here to show.

Hi dmccandless Megy86 and Kennymb5384
Thanks for reporting this. If you could forward these emails to abuse@dropbox.com we will be able to look into this matter in further detail.

Initial email shows that it came from 'no-reply@dropbox.com' and if you select "reply" to see the return email, it is replying to 'no-reply@paypal.com'

How is it "obvious"? I already forwarded the email to Paypal's phishing alias.

Hi nicklato12 & Tiffany08, thank you both for reporting this!
Could you send me a screenshot of the email you received, and also confirm the email address it came from? Is it coming from an official Dropbox domain?
Just make sure none of your personal info is visible in the screenshot, such as email address.
Keep me posted!
- nicklato123 years agoHelpful | Level 5I’m having trouble adding a screenshot on mobile would I have to do it on desktop? It seems to be from a official Dropbox domain considering I have emails from the same domain stating my password change and logins.
- Tiffany083 years agoExplorer | Level 4There is something really important missing from Megan's reply. And that is where you want me to send it to.

You could upload the image to your Dropbox and share a link, or you could use an image hosting service like Imgur or Gyazo.
