If you received it via e-mail, it’s a scam. If you received an official letter from lawyers that is notarized, that’s a different story.

Circular File material.

It looks legitimate to me. I have received a few of these, and it uses all the same type of language. In each case, I’ve done nothing, and in some cases I’ve received a small settlement. Check out the website in the last line of the notice. It looks legitimate as well.

So what if it is legit? Your willing to give out personal information to someone who sent you an email at random for the oppotunity to ‘cash in’ on $19.90 worth of useless ‘credit monitoring’? Sounds like a great idea.

it’s a scam official notifications can not be made via email. this is a shameless way of enrolling you in their credit service. article 1 makes this very plain

Key words, “Class action.”
Any real money to be distributed here is already eaten up by the law firms.
It’s a fancy registration form to dupe you into a subscription for their service.
Trash it.

That looks like a very sophisticated way to get you signed up to a credit agency, so they can debit your charge card every month. The “benefit” isn’t cash, you may notice, it’s “free credit services.”
Bin it.

This is a standard notice of Class Action. Since the Action concerns an online activity it may be reasonable to contact you by e-mail as they may have no other current information. Be very careful going to the site as to the information you give out.
I visited the site and am a little uncomfortable that the name of the court and of the law firm handling the settlement is not given.
Near the end of the FAQ is a reference
Heather Greer, Experian Public Relations, (714) 830-7756.
This phone number is, in fact, Experian phone number
“Experian Global Press OfficeFor an interview with Peg Smith, Experian executive vice president, please contact either Donald Girard at 714 830 5647 or Heather Greer at 714 830 7756. … ”
It is not, in fact, a 419 scam because they are not talking about giving you a lot of money if you invest. It may be phishing to collect SSAN and other data.

looks like legit, but lawyers suck. They will get all the money from it.
