    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.

    Err we all get those anyway without giving any details!:eek:

    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.
    Many thanks for the vote of support... and do I know you from there?;)

    I have had 28 emails today inc 4 from Screwfix and one promising Silver Sonic XL!:confused: and two trying to sell me viagra.:mad:


    If you take up the viagra offer and you're on iron tablets, be careful, when you feel fruity you'll spin until you point North. :D

    From the FSCS update
    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:

    "If you have not yet received your second email, there is no need to worry. We are sending out the second emails in batches, including at weekends, to ensure the smooth running of the process, and remain on track to send out the vast majority in November".

    This supposedly anodyne statement does not seem to be borne out by our perceived reality.

    Any hackers out there who can access their system. Will pay handsomely!

    Taking in to account that the FSCS say they have sent 2nd emails to 1 in 3 account holders yet so few here seem to get one I reckon that Hackers already have accessed it and changed all our email addresses to their own possibly Geir Haarde!:eek:

    No, just a lurker. Nice bunch of folks, but I can't stand the format and small typeface!

    I was only musing when I mentioned it, but now I think a little deeper... why not? Presuming there's a big fat list of 200,000 names, they have to sort it by some column or other, so why not post codes. It's only as daft and random as anything else.

    My postcode begins with S and my money appeared in my bank this morning.
    Still keeping you company - hoping you get the mail soon.
