Strange email alert that I deleted multiple files

I just got the following email from Dropbox. The fact is that I made no such deletion, other than putting files offline, which is not the same thing. Is this a Chatbot scam to upgrade?   Hi Joh...

Hi there: I came from no-reply@dropbox.com Apparently I deleted the files on February 1st, 2024. Again, it may be because I moved my photo library to dropbox temporarily to create more space on my HD for a project, then moved them back to my HD. Will dropbox record every move I make regarding my files?

If the files sync'd to Dropbox yes, it does.
