Bit harsh, when most building societies will refer to their savings accounts as "investing", "investing in", "investments", etcdunstonh said:Beware investing with them.Your issues appear to be about a savings account. Not investments.
And remembering of course. that building society members fall into one of two categories (or both):
borrowing members, or investing members
Investments fall into many categories. Plain savings accounts are one such category2 -
You wanted to make a deposit and earn interest: that is precisely what is happening. It would only be "underhand", or "a scam", if they conjured up some reason to deny you interest.linda_fogler said:It seems a very underhand way for Yorkshire BS to get your money for their own short-term investments. Is it a scam? Maybe it's legal, but it's certainly not a fair way to do business.
