SCAM Warning
Yesterday I received this scam email purporting to be Dropbox. I was initially freaked out by receiving this but when I checked Dropbox online, no files had been deleted.
Warning to all others… Admins pls take note and deal. #scam
Hey ads1212, how are you today?
If you take a look at the email address of the sender, you will see that it uses a legit Dropbox domain, meaning this is a legit Dropbox email.
If you look at your events page like Rich suggested, are you able to see any deletion events related to these files?

Was it actually a scam email, where the links within it went to a scam site, or does it actually look legitimate? Also, have you moved or renamed any large files recently? If so, that usually generates one of those deletion emails (Dropbox sees a rename/move as a deletion of one item and a creation of a new item).
- I’m not stupid enough to click a link on a suspected scam email. And to answer your question no, I have not renamed or fiddled with 93,000 files.
