However, if you are the rightful holder of the account, please visit Paypal as soon as possible to verify your identity:

You can also verify your account by logging into your PayPal account at https://www.paypal.com/us/. If you choose to ignore our request, you leave us no choice but to temporaly suspend your account.

Taken care of.

I was actually thinking of an idea: recoding it so phishing sites would be replaced with a large image that says "if you entered information here, your account may have been compromised - change your cc#s passwords, etc" instead of just showing suspended page

That's ridiculous o_O Like people wouldn't check the address of the link they're clicking on? Idiots, really. I have gotten phishing emails from Bank of America, but the link was made out to a www.bankofamerica.com page and the address said www.bankofamerica.com/.....whatever came after the slash. That can all be changed with a simple javascript code. Shouldn't they look into that before trying to fool people? -_-
