    i have just spoken to ciao and apparently the person who handles the account queries isnt in til Monday....(i think they mean Tuesday as its Bank hol!). I suppose i will have to try again then, although its hard to believe that only one person knows anything about it.... Patience!!

    thanks for letting us know! i've just received a bloody survey off them, so i filled it in, but it hasn't registered that i've done one :mad:

    we'll have to wait til tuesday then! bet they come up with some bull to rip us off though!!

    On Ciao community board there is now a message:

    Temporary account imbalances
    Problem with Ciao accounts due to technical problems, some account balances have suddenly decreased to zero. We are currently dealing with this issue. All accounts will, of course, be recredited to the previous amount. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

    Does seem genuine, shame they didn't mass email all members to stop us all panicking though

    Just been to the site again. There is a community announcement stating that there is a technical fault and that it will be rectified shortly. Fingers crossed!

    When I checked my account before I was MINUS £24, and I did a money request 2 weeks ago.
    Seriously, that site is b*ggered right now! lol
    It's BOUGHT (to Buy), not BROUGHT (to bring) AND you cannot be frauded, only DEfrauded.

    Please do not buy animals from a pet store. Visit your local sanctuary or centre and give a good home to an unloved or abandoned animal.
  • Ahhh, I'm glad I wasn't alone. Had emailed them a few times to different email addresses and got no reply. Lets hope it does get sorted. :)

    I requested my money a few weeks ago. As I hadn't received anything i thought i'd send another request.

    Logged on today and my account is also showing a negative balance saying that I owe them £12.33!

    What's going on?:confused:

    Should we keep emailing them or give up? or is it just a glitch?
    weaving through the chaos...
