Mysterious "Over you quota limits" in Exchange 2010. Any ideas on why users are getting these message if Quota has not been met?

Mysterious "Over you quota limits" in Exchange 2010. Any ideas on why users are getting these message if Quota has not been met? End users are getting over the limit errors in outlook even though the minimum level (quota) has not even been met yet. (IE Warnings for reaching 310 mb for example when the warning quota is set to 400mb).

That is a classic phishing scheme.  Are they phishing emails or real ones?
How close are they to the warning level? Could be something hung up in Exchange that may be pushing it over the limit, like a large outgoing or incoming message. A screenshot of the error would help, too.
Did you make 100% sure that none of the users have a quota applied at either mailbox or mailstore level?
One usually will find that if the message is legitimate, it would be coming from the back-end exchange.
