Why are certain people listed as my Contacts?
Hello, Why would these 3 people be listed as Contacts for my Account? Also why does it show that they viewed my recently downloaded Tax Returns that I shared to my Tax Accountant?

Hey gpete1977, sorry to jump in here, but I just want to mention that these names are not real people or accounts whatsoever. They show up the first time you navigate to the DocSend page.
They act like placeholders of real people (as an example) if you were to use DocSend to send a doc of yours for collaboration via DocSend.
This is also why their email addresses aren't working.
I hope this helps clarify matters and please let us know if you have any follow up questions.
I received an Sample? email from Dropbox listing this person as a Contact that viewed my Tax Downloads. Also it shows him, and 2 others from Hanford Inc viewed the File. They are the only 3 people listed in my Dropbox Contacts and it shows all 3 viewed my Files. I did not put those people in my Contacts.

Not that I can recall. I also tried a little bit ago to email them at their emails listed and got this:
