"Unable to send your rewards cheque because we have detected a posiblibe error your account address information.,"

Dear HSBC Online customer,

Unable to send your rewards cheque because we have detected a posiblibe error your account address information.,

This might be due to either of the following reasons:

1. A recent change in your personal information (i.e. change of address).
2. Submitting invalid information during the initial sign up process.

Consequently, we placed a temporary restriction on your account. We did this to protect your account from any fraudulent activity.

Please verify your information :

Thank you,

HSBC Bank PLC Internet Banking Customer Service
