Hey KevinFischer, thanks for reaching out to us.

 

Is the email address of the sender of this email one the addresses found in this article?

 

Do you know the person mentioned in that email?

 

Keep me posted.

The reply address was no-reply@dropbox.com.  The name was Pippa [removed per Community Guidelines] on the email, and I don't know this person.  

So you can't really tell where it came from.  However, the send to address was:

[removed per Community Guidelines] which seems totally bogus.
