I have received an e-mail telling me of a new document available for me in Dropbox. The e-mail is from an address that ends with " em-s.dropbox.com ". Can anybody confirm that " em-s. " is a valid adjunct to " dropbox.com ", or is it sooner a trick?
Thank you.
I received the same email message:
"Hi David,
Just a heads-up – you've got a shared file waiting for you. Click the button below to check it out whenever you're ready!"
The subject is: "Files shared with you"
The unsubscribe link below also looks dicey.
Please advise.
I had the same in the early hours of this morning. I have forwarded it to abuse@dropbox.com to look into. It seems strange that it doesn't say who it is from either! I will let you know if I hear anything back.
I've just received the email shown below - see screenshot.
Haven't clicked the link but checked my Dropbox account.
No new files have been added to my Dropbox account for some time.
Looks like a scam but seems to originate from an official Dropbox domain.
Received exactly the same. The sending email address seemed legit, but no new files in my DropBox.
Took the opportunity to clear out some files and changed my password as a precaution.
