Title: *ALERT* Do not deposit with Llyods INTERSANGO
Post by: microRNA on March 07, 2012, 06:12 am
I just read this over in the rumor mill, but its kinda hidden among all the reviews and just wanted to make sure people were aware of this.

Evidently Intersango may be having funds stolen by an absconding director.

PLEASE BE AWARE > DO NOT LOSE YOUR MONEY > if you use INTERSANGO, do some research and figure out what is going on

It never really looked like a fraud, just bad fuckups and worse communication. It's mostly back to normal with Metro but transfers to uk banks still aren't going through

dont believe it,,ive just deposited some cash into lloyds and had a bit of a nightmare
firstly i took note of the acc number and sort code on sango then went to lloyds only to be told by the cashier that a sort code starting in 23 is barclays,pissed off i went home took a look through some notes i had written down and stashed from when i registered and found different sango acc number and sort code starting 30 which is lloyds,,went back to another lloyds branch and just stuck some wonga in with no problems
only just found this thread and im now wondering if im gonna loose my money
does anyone have the correct lloyds acc number and sort code so i can see if i have fooked it up
this is my first transaction hopefully not my worst

Good job I read this, I was going to deposit into Lloyds tomorrow, but when ive looked at Intersango they have changed their Bank to Metro Bank...which is a pain in the ass as their isn't one anywhere near me. I dont want to do a transfer from my account as there is a trail back to me then. Any idea's on how else to get BTC's anonymously in the UK?

goangod - the a/c & s/c I had for Lloyds was 306457 / 47148668

That sort code is deffo a Lloyds one

that was deffo the account and sort code i used chalky,
just had a look on intersango/ support ,and they state that a workaround has been sorted for lloyds tech prolems,not sure when that was put on there site
im pished off now as i wanted to put an order in today
wtf is metro bank ? never heard of it but that sort code is a barclays one  beginning 23
im confused and pissed off that my cash is now nowhere to be seen

Metro are a newish high street Bank, but only have branches in central London at the moment, which doesn't help much if you want to put ££ in over the counter but live anywhere other than London.

I have to say that Intersango & Lloyds deposits were always pretty quick (as in I had BTC's to spend within 24hrs)

used lloyds branch for intersango payment a couple of weeks ago and it was fine - account was updated in a few hours.
checked my intersango acct tonight and their lloyds account is listed as well as the metro one. hopefully this means we can still deposit at lloyds rather than having to use metros. maybe it was just a temporary problem with llloyds??? hope so...

The Lloyds deposit instructions were removed when deposits were failing. I assume that since the account details are back up, that Lloyds deposits are working again. I haven't had this confirmed by anyone though so do let us know.

Deposited money using Lloyds earlier today and the money appeared a few hours ago. Bought bitcoins as normal. Seems the service has fully resumed.

Yeah, depending on what bank your with they can take a little longer than others to process the transfer.

From intersango support page; 'A workaround has been identified for lloyds continued technical troubles. Transactions are slow and do not book on Saturday or Sunday.'

Is it safe to make a deposit now? Alwaystrying has yours come through?

Post by: alwaystrying on March 13, 2012, 03:08 pm
i wouldnt just yet mate. Im waiting over 24 hours for it.

Ive brought it to their attention, no doubt its just taking a while longer.

Ill update this thread when the money arrives into the account.

i made a deposit to their metro bank from a barclays account because their lloyds was down, now they tell me lloyds is back up but metro is down, really pissed me off tbh because now i have money tied up in there which i need for future endeavors. on top of that Patrick is on skype but not talking at all. frustrating to say the least.

my transfers to uk bank started going through then stopped again, one transaction has disappeared altogether, no reply to my support ticket for 2 days, not a happy hippy.

This is horrible, I've waited about 30 hours now for my deposit to go through. When I spoke to patrick on skype he said it would be sorted in less than an hour, that was about an hour and a half ago and hes ignoring me now.

I don't think I'll be dealing with intersango again once this transaction goes through.

is there any way to contact patrick besides skype?

Me too. Must be a better, quicker way to do this.

coins finally loaded! its been a worry and a pain in the ass, but its gone all good!

hold tight people. it will come.

from what im told, its an issue with lloyds. to be honest, it seems a bit like a concerted effort to mine coins for a day or so/ wait for prices to hike to a point for higher profit margins on their end.

either way, its done the job and coins have been acquired anonymously so i cant complain.

I got mines too, I have to agree with you on the higher profit on their end, if I had of gotten my bitcoins yesterday like I should have I would have got them about 20-30 pence cheaper per coin.

as far as i can telll all is back up and running again and there was no fraud or anything but coins have gone up ALOT! and this quite annoying as i am now short since what i deposited on friday is no longer worth what it is today. still atleast it's working again now.
