    Unauthorized access to your Paypal Account!


    We recently noticed more attempts to log in to your PayPal account from a foreign IP address. If you accessed your account while traveling, the unusual log in attempts may have been initiated by you. However, if you are the rightful holder of the account, please visit Paypal as soon as possible to verify your identity:
    Click here to verify your account


    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.
    We ask that you allow at least 72 hours for the case to be investigated and we strongly recommend to verify your account in that time.

    Thank you for using PayPal!

    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? -_-
