I wonder if this recent event had anything to do with what assumingly is currently going on with their Metro Bank account: http://www.topix.com/forum/drug/valium/TDB3N8TVV6R8HJ3KH/p2 (only need to scroll down a tad)

If they are telling the truth then it looks like their metro bank is frozen ..........
Which is something that's happened to other exchanges multiple times in the past and been sorted out. Whatever the bank's going to do, it's going to do in it's own time-frame and there's not much that Intersango or its users can do about that.
if its frozen upload proof so people can see that ,shouldnt be too difficult, im sure someone at Intersango is capable of uploading a scan or a letter from someone at metro that can verify the situation ?
if on the other hand ,Intersango has been gambling with everyones cash and they have a shortfall because it didnt go their way then thats NOT ok ..........
If they want to prove it they can easily do so ,until then they will lose customers in droves and deservedly so .....
I will recomend everyone i know to avoid Intersango permanently ,whether this gets sorted or not im sick of being on the end of their lies as a customer
Proof as in a letter/statement from the bank being uploaded in a public forum is not the brightest of ideas. That would probably cause them to nix the account in question and access to any statements and send you a check for the balance. Talking to the bank however might be a good idea, as in calling them to ask why deposits from xyz bank to Intersango haven't cleared yet.
we have called them ,Metro bank is unaware of any problems related to missing deposits not being credited and /or technical failures so both excuses so far were lies
of course they can not tell strangers over the phone if there is any money or not in the Intersango account so the truth will not come out until Intersango is ready .....

Bitcoinica 2.0 ......for anyone who missed the first installment

This would certainly help the situation.

Haven't people been saying for weeks (or rather, MONTHS) to get your money out of Intersango before it disappears just like the bitcoinica money?
How many months will you have to wait to find that the 50% of your balance that was promised has been "stolen"?

Problem is a bank can halt all account activity if a few tx are flagged as fraudulent. Not defending Intersango, just saying.
Since btc transactions are irreversible, it's tempting for some scammers to try to get some free btc. by comitting fraud with the bank transfers..

Just like conventional financial institutions are constantly bombarded with fraud and hacking attempts, the same is going to be true in the Bitcoin world. I suspect that many people grossly underestimate how frequent those attempts are. It's always going to be a matter of trying to stay one step ahead of the game.

My account is has made other transfers to metro before so i would not be in the group that "may be using somone elses bank acc to make a fraudulant transfer" .......
I have transfered over 3000GBP to intersango before and the service worked and it cleared inside 2 hours
Now im waiting nearly a week on pocket change to clear when transfers are supposed to be several times per day so
i cant see anything positive in this situation ,their bank account has been frozen or they dont have the money to pay etc spings to mind ......
Neither of which is good

Small withdraw of like £159 was set to "Sent" (not pending) last Tuesday, still not in bank - suspect xfer was never initiated.
UK BACS takes 3 working days max normally.
UK BACS takes 3 working days max normally.
I accidentally marked a bunch of payments as sent which shouldn't have been.
Mostly this effected people with bitcoin transfers (almost all of which have now been corrected), but some UK transfers were also effected.
If a UK transfer is marked as 'sent' and you have not received it after 48 hours open a ticket and someone will investigate.
I opened a ticket saying my withdrawal was marked as sent when it was not, and I got a canned response saying you are having problems with your bank. Can you unmark this withdrawal as sent?
INTERSANGO BANKRUPT !!!! will probably be the next announcment

I believe bank staff would know if there was technical errors causing deposits to not show up ,another day passes and no money credited by interango EVEN THOUGH ITS BEEN IN THEIR ACCOUNT SINCE LAST FRIDAY
INTERSANGO SCAMMERS or LIARS or both ??
Are you going to pay interest on the deposits youre withholding ?
It's not a technical issue.

While we were previously under the impression that the problems we were having with Metro bank were due to a technical issue on their end (as this has happened before), we have been told that our account activity is being reviewed and that we must be patient during this process. We have faith that our contact at Metro bank will properly investigate the matter. They have indicated that they do not require information from us at this time. The resolution time we were given was around 1 week, however this is just an approximation.

no,intersango and/or metro bank have an error in the user interface about some technical failure
are you just blindly defending their incompetence without reading whats actually being posted ?
do they pay you well for this ?

Possibly this isn't 100% clear, if so that's my fault.
The issue with metro is only about funds being sent by us.
It has nothing to do with payments into the account.
I've updated the withdrawals blackout notice to make it clear that it's between the 26th and 30th and not until the 26th or 30th.
Hopefully that helps.
Lies,lies and ..........more lies ...........
I then called Metro bank to ask them if they were any such technical errors resulting in late deposits etc and they had no idea what i was talking about and everything is apparently fine at Metro bank also
The call center operators both do not know about issues with specific accounts and more so would not tell you even if they did.

The Intersango trio haven't been making money by themselves, so they have to keep yours instead.
Read about what happened to other investors who trusted them.
Oh, am I wrong? Prove it and I'll happily retract this accusation.
