Example video I've just recorded at Icesave [36 seconds], which plays back in WMP, or even more definition in Frontcam's own player.

(Assuming Icesave doesn't post out paper statements - a video like this might be helpful to prove your balance.)

Cheers but idiots like me closed theire accounts on monday thinking we could at least log back in, but we can't:o

If you can still log-in and and see your balance... I reckon a good move for Icesave account holders with significant money on deposit would to be download FrontCam, which is a screen video recorder program. You could use it to provide an absolute record of your balance held there, if needing to prove it to FSCS, and especially so if you don't have paper statements or Icesave goes offline.

Press record and it will video record everything your browser sees until you press stop. (Press pause during login unless your not bothered about security)

The video plays back in high-definition in the video-player with the program, or slightly less so in WindowsMediaPlayer. During recording, right click an view the security certificate so it can be obvious the banking site is the real and genuine one.

It just gives some real evidence, having a video like that, of your balance, for proving it to FSCS. (Unless of course you get paper statements from Icesave)

Link: http://www.frontcam.com/ (free) Incredibly easy to use. In the options just set it to record "full screen" & make sure its set to "video".

That's a bit complicated for a technophobe like me. Wouldn't a simple screenshot do the trick as proof?

thankfully, no!

A screenshot is very easily faked.

It's not difficult to record a video. An alternative video capture application would be jing. Press record, login, press stop - that's it! If you can use these forums you can use this software

Good news,

I saw on the web that the goverment are going to back the whole £50K.
Called the FSCS and they have confirmed that is now happening if iceland default on the first 20K euro's. Good news for all and great news for people with under £16K in.

WTF?_2

thankfully, no!

See? Now chill out. It's not a great situation but it's far from the worst either.

but the screenshot will have your account number on it, and you can print it out. Surely you're not suggesting Icesave are going to deny all knowledge of people ever having had accounts with them?

FSCS said they will have full access and will know about any withdrawals pending etc. for customers who closed accounts etc.
So screen prints alltough usefull should hopefully not be needed.

All the money's gone.

What do people expect dealing dodgy foreign banks.

And some people haven't even got paper records, people now trying to take screen shots as proof, like the bank & government give a stuff, HILARIOUS !! :rotfl:

Paper records? I don't want to alarm you, but it's the 21st century! In many cases, digital records hold just as much sway as paper ones, if not more.
