I recently received an email that appears to be legitimate, stating that I would be receiving a $425 payout tomorrow and that it is from the CapitalOne data breach class action lawsuit settlement.
I think I may have filled out a claim form for this lawsuit years ago, but I honestly can’t recall right now. I suppose I have to?
Does anyone else have an email like this today?
Received one for $697.41. I only had to provide my PayPal email. I don’t care because my credit is frozen and I use two-factor authentication. They say it’s being transferred. If it’s real, I’ll give my fiancé a great birthday this weekend.
No, how long have you been a member of Cap 1?
I received an email indicating $424.39. I filed the claim on May 7, 22. They sent me an email back then with a pin to file.
True. obtaining money the next week. Moreover, Epiq is a legitimate company.
Turn on the VPN if you still have any qualms, as I know we all do. In addition, if you’re worried about having your bank or no bank information compromised, Tremendous offers a Virtual MC option in addition to DD and PayPal.
In THAT instance, no bank information was compromised. as far as I’m aware. How can anyone get any when you’re not offering any?
And sure, (DISCLAIMER)— while the Tremendous option clearly doesn’t seem to expose your bank information on THAT side, I can tell you with pain that Tremendous isn’t 100% secure against hackers based on my experience. However, Tremendous does have the ability to enable you to transfer the funds from the VMC right away if you’re still apprehensive about that aspect alone.
I think they make advantage of Plaid.
If you’re still nervous, just remove your footprint, account, profile, etc. of course.
I can also attest to this from personal experience. I’ve fulfilled that.
It sounds like you’re handling the situation cautiously, which is smart, especially with your credit frozen and two-factor authentication in place. If the transfer is legitimate, it’s great that you’re planning to use it for something special! Just keep an eye on your accounts and verify the source to ensure everything is in order. Enjoy celebrating your fiancé’s birthday!
