TBH Folks I am glad we started this thread, where else would we share our experiences or drown our sorrows?:beer:

Arc, Have you checked your Icesave account? if it has the initiate button against your account/s then you have no need to worry at all, the email is not really needed, you can click initiate, it will either tell you to wait or you will hit the jackpot!

No they've revamped it. Now when you push the initiate button Noel Edmonds pops up with "Deal or no deal?"

Not at all dim You're the only one to have any inkling though I have dropped hints to people. I wasn't blocked as Acecard but that moderator cannot stand any personal criticism which explains his inexplicable rantings when I stepped in to support swifts.

They want you back, but I am happy for you to stay here! Say what the hell you want, as far as I am concerned. I am gearing up for a major rant within the next 48 hours. If I hear that noone has received an email this evening/overnight I will ring up the FSCS tomorrow and give the poor unfortunate soul at the other end such a foul-mouthed ear-bashing they'll wish they'd never been born.

Anyone discounted that it may be done on postcodes?

Both the people I know who received money have postcodes beginning with B.

You know TWO people who received their dosh! Are you a celebrity of some sort?
(just joking) The Postcode thesis appeared promising but I can confirm it is incorrect. Sorry...
But it could we the number of dog fleas in Battersea Dogs Home divided by the cubed root of pi and put on a slow simmer with Carol Vorderman...

From the FSCS update

Over 75,000 second emails inviting people to log on to make their claim have also been sent.

That's about 1 in 3 by my maths but IMHO that is not the ratio reflected in this thread, I realise that initially people call in here when they have not received their second email but having done so, on the FSCS figures we ought to find more people getting those emails here than we have done so far.:eek:

Continue with personal info like that and you will be soon getting those emails from a Nigerian bank who have found £6.4million they want to send to you.

....both received emails on the first day. Both had the same type of accounts (ISA and Easy Access), both had similar amounts in (£15.7k and £13.8k) and both have a Birmingham post code.

And yes, I darn well am a celebrity... just gotta convince the rest now
