Dear PointBank account holder,
PointBank is constantly working to ensure security by regularly screening the accounts in
our system.
We have recently determined that different computers have tried logging into your PointBank
account, and
multiple password failures were present before the logons. Until we can collect secure information,
your
access to sensitive account features will be limited. We would like to restore your access as soon
as
possible, and we apologize for the inconvenience.
Why is my account access limited?
Your account access has been limited for the following reason(s):
April 12, 2008: We have reasons to believe that your account was accessed by a third party. We
have limited
access to sensitive PointBank account features in case your account has been accessed by an
unauthorized third
party. We understand that having limited access can be an inconvenience, but protecting your
account is our
primary concern.
