Inquiry about potential Phishing Box Email

Hi,

For one of our employees, he recieved an email stating that his payment method for Box was declined and it came from a [removed by moderator] email address. However, it still seemed like a phishing email, so we looked into it further and it was sent from an AWS IP Address instead of a Box Domain IP address.

So I wanted to see if it was possible to talk to somebody from the Box Security Team to see if they could verify this email.

👋 Hi ​@lhughes, welcome to the Box Community! I completely understand your concern about a potential phishing email.

 

Billing-related automated emails (e.g., payment confirmations or declined payment notices) are sent to the registered Bill To contact. If your employee received one, our Billing Team can verify whether the email truly came from Box.


To investigate further, please email our Billing Team at billing@box.com. Kindly include:

  • The enterprise or user ID linked to the Box account
  • The email address of the person who received the message
  • A screenshot of the email itself

This will help us confirm whether the email matches the Bill To contact and also check the account status.


In the meantime, for security purposes, please avoid clicking any links in the suspected phishing email.

 

If you have any other concerns, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to help!

Hi ​@withbreezeco, welcome to the Box Community! Thank you for raising this concern. I’d be happy to clarify this for you.

 

One of our official support emails is billing@box.com, which users can contact directly for billing-related questions. You may see messages coming from billing@box.zendesk.com, and this address is used for automated notifications and replies when you have an open support ticket with Box. Rest assured, this is legitimate and safe to interact with.


For future reference, if you ever receive an email from Box and aren’t sure what it’s about, feel free to reach out to us and we’ll gladly verify it for you.

 

Thank you so much for your time, and stay safe always.
