    Paypal is owned by ebay and they do take decisive action to shut down any sites that are sent by phishing emails.
    They go after the isp's, emailers, the whole ball of wax.

    Only thing I can say about your paypal account, you are screwed if someone can get into it.
    ALWAYS make damn sure your password is so stupid, no one can break it.

    Never click any link provided in this types of suspicious email from any financial co. like paypal,your bank etc. Always login to your account using new browser and url with https. You have to take extra care of your account then nobody going to steal your money.

    DON.

    Just wondering, where does the "Sign In" link leads to? Just curious. Maybe can check out which domain it is hosted at. Must of phishing attack must be stopped.

    There is no need to go through 'Sign In' process in this types of phishing emails. Just forward those emails to and you have done because rest action they take themself.

    If you're using Firefox, when you click the link you will be warned if it is a fake Paypal site.
