I actually had a similiar thing occur just saturday. I was fine at midnight on friday. Went to log in at 6 am and my account was suspended .

I called the 800- number on the page. The gentleman that answerd verified some information and read through some linden activity. After 20 minutes of silence while he read he came back . His simple answer was . There appeard to be no reason for it . That someone and I am making a direct quote " Someone thought they saw something .. However I a not seeing anything suspicious I am releasing your account " . Now mind you this is a free account .

I asked for more information as to what may have triggerd this suspect activity. I was told that I couldnt be told why. That it would reveal to much of what goes on behind the scenes . My account was reinstated at once . Still it was the strangest experiance I have ever had with Linden Labs .. It felt very creepy and very fraudulent . the not wanting to reveal why my account had been suspended part still bugs me a bit .

Given the fact that most people are waiting weeks to get issues resolved, you should count your blessings that someone was willing to do the research and re-activate your account so quickly.
