it's addressed to the e/mail that i use for dropbox. i wonder if their user directory has been hacked or if they are snatching this off endpoints someplace
Why do you think it's a phishing email? Do you know how to view and analyze the headers?
If the email came from a dropbox IP/server, it's probably a legitimate marketing email, in which case there should be a way to tell them you're not interested (if you're not).
If it came from somewhere else, then it should be reported to the sending ISP with an info copy to dropbox.
If you use the email only for dropbox, I'd suspect it's legit, albeit obnoxious.
i have received spam made to look like it came from dropbox, paypal, google, etc......
since i long deleted it i don't know if it read exactly like the example above.
just another spam message. don't blindly click links. meh.
