Im going to disguise my account. I can have random bills coming off different accounts and money going in and out to make it look less suspicious!!

...wonder what story I'll make up!!!

It's called exploiting (poorly worded) T&Cs, just as credit card stoozing and making use of bank switching incentives is.

You know, like the banks' overdraft T&Cs exploited you.

Like I said to you earlier, time to get your own back...legally!

Anyone going to try and disguise it, rather shifting the £1000 through 3 or 4 accounts on the bounce?

i dont think as much desguise it but will also use the accounts for real purposes, i am already planning on linking one of my accounts to my halifax sharebuilder account and have set up for quidco to pay into another one


i have also for appearances sake changed a couple standing orders for money i put into savings to pay from my lloyds salary account via so to halifax then standing order a couple days later into the two savings accounts

What's Fraud ? You go into a branch -
I want 3 Reward Current accounts -Why?
So I can collect the fivers - Oh OK
Is there a minimum balance ?- No
Can I just shove the same £1000 through all 3 accounts? - Yes
Does the £1000 have to sat in an account for a minum time (say a day) -No

Exploit the system for as long as you can:D

A & L have a £250 Faster Payment limit. Their customer service department is very vague as to correct limits. But I managed yesterday to send 6 x £250 to different accounts, something I was told I couldn't do.
Also the first time I set up payments, wanting them to go by FP, they were blocked by security and sent by BACS, I advise a small test transfer first.
Good Luck
