Invites@dropbox-notifications.net. Is this an official Dropbox domain?

Anyone know if this is a legitimate email address used by Dropbox? Invites@dropbox-notificstions.net

    Its certainly not one I've ever heard of being used by Dropbox. That list from Rich also includes historic ones, so, my guess is its a scam. 

     

    Also, given that its registered by an individual in the UK and not Dropbox its almost certainly not legit.

      The actual registrant used a third-party service as the registrant to hide their identity. Domains registered by Dropbox have their information listed publicly.

        Is the .net the part that is a UK registrant?
        Thanks for your help, it’s much appreciated.
