I checked with some gents in the UK concering the HQ8R cards and the only way to know for sure is to visit the IOTA website and see what they have to say. The mailing from the US invaliditing the card is more than likey a nasty internet rumor that has no basis in fact. If the HQ8R activation is disallowed it will be done so for some other reason than where the card was mailed from.
