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.

This is the one I received. Same amount, and it said it is: Confirmation of Dogecoin (DOGE) purchase
Obviously not an invoice from Dropbox. I'd report it to PayPal as a scam.
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!

There is something really important missing from Megan's reply. And that is where you want me to send it to.
You can just post it here. Be sure to mask any private information if any is visible.

I would if I had that option
That's been an issue for a while. I think you need to be Level 3 or higher on the forums. Simply put, you likely haven't posted enough. I think the limit was raised due to spammers abusing it shortly after these new forums went live.
You could upload the image to your Dropbox and share a link, or you could use an image hosting service like Imgur or Gyazo.
