Dear Abbey's Internet Banking Holder,
Abbey National PLC has been receiving
complaints from our customers for unauthorised use of the Abbey Online accounts. As a result we periodically review Abbey Online
Accounts and temporarily restrict access of those accounts which we
think are vulnerable to the unauthorised use. Due to our recent upgrade of all online accounts,it is of
utmost necessity for all Abbey Bank customers to confirm their
Account Information Correctly. This is one of our varying methods of checking online fraud
which seems to be on the increase.
This message has
been sent to you from Abbey because we have
noticed invalid login attempts into your account, due to this we are
temporarily limiting and restricting your account access until we
confirm your identity.
To confirm your identity and
remove your account limitation please following the link
