PayPal Litigation Settlement

Did anyone else get an email about this and is it full of crap?

i got one but haven't looked at it closely yet.

why are people always suspicious of free money?

I got it. I filled out the info that i needed to. If I get money than cool if I don't then whatever, no biggie. Its worth a shot. I filled out one a couple of months ago for taking metabolife, and I got a $120 check in the mail from the settlement.

AWSOME!!!

I got the same thing I glanced at. This isn't the first time I've recieved such letters and Emails.
What do you have to lose?

Yeah, I got one for each of my PayPal accounts. I wonder how much $$$ we're talking about. Of course, everyone knows that the only people who get rich are the lawyers. But, I wouldn't frown upon getting $120 or so.....

Class action settlements are usually more like 20 bucks and a coupon. Hardly worth the paper work. The fucking lawyers make all the money. It's a scam.

twenty bucks pays for six months of SG, for the record.

Where's Rebrobate when you need him?

it is real

No, it's real...you just won't get any real money. The class action lawyers will, though.

good proof... thanks

Well, there's 5.8 million to distribute, depending on the number of people who send in the paperwork, that could turn into a nice dinner.

Yeah I got this too, read it over, appears legit except for the "can only submit claims online" part.

I also only received it to the email I use for the personal account I closed, and not the email I use for the business account that was opened earlier and still is.

5.8 million sounds like a lot, except that if everyone got one and fills it out, they will get about $1.50 after the attorneys take their share. If only 55% respond, then there might be more, like $5-$10.

I was once involved in a class action suit against FAO Schwarz. Involved in the sense that I worked for them for about a month.

I got a check for 37 cents.

I got one. I'm seeing a lawyer soon to see if i should accept or if i should file suit of my own for how they wronged me.

no, it's 5.8 that is being distributed, that's *after* the attorneys take their share.
And yeah, it depends entirely on how many people fill the thing out. No matter what it's not going to be a ton of money, but depending on how it shapes up it might buy a few lunches...

chances are the lawyer is going to charge more than you could ever expect to get.

same here.

heh i filed, if nothing else i got me a snazzy pdf to print out
