Dropbox invoice phishing
Dropbox now has an invoice feature, that allows you to create a customized invoice. So what this person did was to create an invoice that looks like it’s coming from PayPal. Except for the fact that the From address shows it is coming from Dropbox.

Months ago I saw a similar problem with fake invoices coming from PayPal.

I hate Spammers.
