Thanks Matt, Thanks for running the scan on it, I was more intrigued by the idea that someone could use dropbox for a phish then I was worried that I was being targeted. I know it's spam, still better safe than sorry. Keep calm and carry on!

Max,
When we are under a very directed and large phish that is why we sometimes block drop box....
Check out the google intel below....Dropbox is full of malware. If I was a bad guy I definitely would use it...2GB of free storage to hold my badness. In the "old" days I had to pop web servers to store my malware, now I just sign up for my free gmail to get my free dropbox to target my enemies and have them install my fresh malware (of course targeted to stay below the download caps and make sure my malware was "small")!
YAY!

I ran the PPT in our malware checker...and it came back clean...not to mean it's 100% safe, but at least the anomaly engine didn't find anything. If not expecting...probably safer to ignore/delete.

Spam. Probable phish. Using dropbox. Is this a novel approach? I haven't seen it before ...
