Best keep our eyes on junk and spam folders in case the e-mail goes there - also we need to keep eyes peeled for official communications as there's always a chance spammers phishing for secirity info will latch onto this.

If the e-mail gives a link that seems "unusual", always log on via the site that you recognise.

I'm sure the possibility of "phishing" will be accounted for and security will be tight. However, do agree that we need to be vigilant just in case.

Should get emails by end of this week; phone the FSCS if you don't according to this article.

Icesave payout process gets underway this week, says FSCS (3 November 2008)

The Icesave payout process will start this week for UK depositors in Icesave, the internet retail deposit business of the UK branch of Landsbanki, the Financial Services Compensation Scheme confirmed today.
FSCS is finalising arrangements for a system that means depositors of the bank will be able to receive their savings through an electronic payment into their established nominated accounts. This will happen in stages, with the first email expected to be sent over the next few days. FSCS will then begin sending second emails to customers, in phases, with a view to starting compensation payments in the second week of November as planned.
The second email will provide instructions on how depositors can log on to their existing Icesave accounts to complete a short electronic process allowing them to receive their compensation. The process is being phased to manage the flow of payments through the system and for security reasons. The process will only take a short while for depositors to complete and will enable them to see their money transferred to their established nominated accounts within five working days using the BACS system.
FSCS expects to offer compensation to the vast majority of depositors with Icesave during November.
Icesave customers are asked to note that no one from FSCS will contact them by phone or email to ask for or check their bank account details.
Any Icesave customers who do not receive their first email from FSCS by close of business on Friday should contact FSCS on 0845 7300 131 (Icesave enquiries only).

Some inadequate journalists believe that agressive and rude interviewing techniques are commendable qualities of a good interviewer. J Snow is one of these types. I find him ignorant and obnoxious at best, most times. However much Channel 4 might defend him, many felt the same way you did, after watching him pummel poor Martin.

Received my 2nd email today, inviting me to log in and withdraw my remaining ICEsave balance.

All went perfectly smoothly, and interest is shown up to 10/10/08. No reason to doubt the transfer will appear in my linked account sometime next week.
