Icesave Internet taxfree bank a 419-scam ?

The Icesave Internet bank takes no responsability, just linking to UK treasury. A new way of global money scam, could come out of Nigeria 419-scam. Today one trillion dollar burnt by banks worldwide. Not one brought to justice. Lehman Bros manager went home with $ 500 million, what a nice world.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: Statement from HM Treasury re : icesave depositor protection
We hope to provide you with more information shortly.

This Icesave page links today to UK treasury page

How to handle the delicate question of declaring taxfree accounts in Iceland to the UK treasury, to benefit from UK payments. So far no Iceland payments announced. Only 007 or UK treasury can help you here. Or as Bush would say. Iceland has to surrender and the Icesave bankers brought to Justice.

How do I get my money back, from the Internet bank ?

Landsbanki, Icesave and Heritable
1. Acting on the advice of the Bank and Financial Services Authority (FSA), and in light of announcements made by the Icelandic authorities in recent days, the Chancellor has taken action today to protect the retail depositors in two Icelandic owned banks: Icesave, a UK-based branch of Landsbanki and Heritable, a UK-based banking subsidiary of Landsbanki. He has taken this action to ensure the stability of the UK financial system. Savers’ money is safe and secure.

2. The UK authorities expect that Landsbanki will soon be declared in default. Should that occur, the Chancellor has put in place arrangements to ensure that no retail depositor will lose any money as a result of the closure of Icesave. The Treasury and the Financial Services Compensation Scheme are working with the Icelandic authorities and their Deposit Insurance Scheme to ensure that depositors are paid back as quickly as possible.

UK customers have no Iceland bank security (20 000 Euro)

The Chancellor has also spoken to the Icelandic Finance Minister about the importance of the Icelandic authorities ensuring that UK depositors in Icesave are given the same protections as depositors in Iceland and receive their deposits back in full promptly.

3. Arrangements are being put in place to ensure that all ISA customers of Icesave will continue to benefit from the tax-free status of their accounts
