Suspicious email about a charge?

I received this email today and don’t know what to make of it. I definitely didn’t buy what is in the invoice. The email this came from is non-reply@dropbox.com. It has the drop box logo and at the bottom of the page it says Dropbox invoice but everything in the email says PayPal. I took screenshots I wish I could upload on here to show.

To: PayPal User
billing.receipt@PayPal.com
From: no-reply@PayPal.com
Issued March 24, 2023
Confirmation of Dogecoin (DOGE) purchase:
$634.83 via PayPal. Funds will reflect in account
Title within 24 hours. For refund or cancellation,
contact support at: +1_(888) 510-8004

That's a pretty clear indicator that it's a scam. This one seems to be making the rounds as several others have reported it as well. I've merged your post in with theirs. Take a look at the previous replies above.

Hi @livvvv4, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Please could you forward this email to abuse@dropbox.com for them to investigate this matter in more detail.

They'll be able to look into this further.

How is it "obvious"?

Dropbox doesn't sell Dogecoin, for starters, so why would they be trying to charge you for that?

It's obviously a fraudulent email. I was sharing it for the benefit of others
