Let’s clean our proverbial glasses so we can recognize the red flags and bad actors (no, we would never mean you Tommy Wiseau) that you can find in the class action sphere. Let’s dig in.

SETTLEMENT SPOTLIGHT
🚩 Let’s Stay Vigilant My Friends
Ever received an email promising big bucks from a class action lawsuit (BESIDES this one 😅)?
Before you get too excited, buckle up, because today we’re recognizing the red flags so you can protect yourself.
😥 Don't Get Duped
Get something in your email or the mail and it just didn’t pass that vibe check? Good, your internal spam-filter is already working.
Just like with everything getting sent your way these days, staying vigilant is key. When it comes to class action lawsuits, recognizing the red flags can protect you from falling victim to scams or fraud.
🔦 Scam Spotting
Here are some common scams to watch out for:
Speeding Up the Process: Unfortunately settlements are slow – there’s a ton to do and tick through before payments make it to you. Anyone who’s promising a faster process without PURCHASING your claim outright, is likely lying.
Upfront Cash: Watch out for scammers asking for upfront fees or personal info to process your claim. Legit settlements won't charge you a dime to participate. In fact, settlements are meant to pay you!
Phishing Phobia: Be wary of emails, calls, or websites that mimic legitimate class action settlements or law firms. Be on the lookout for typos and missing links to official websites.
🛡️ How to Protect Yourself
Now, here's a few tips to help you shield yourself:
Protect Your Info: Be careful with your personal information. Class actions (especially settlements) shouldn’t be asking for sensitive information like social security numbers, bank accounts, etc.
Verify Legitimacy: Check the news, the official court docs or turning to trusted sources (that’s one of CAC’s main jobs 😉)
Don’t Pay Upfront: Legitimate lawsuits do not need your cash upfront to participate in the lawsuit or settlement. Compensation is what they are going after if they WIN.
Fun Fact: CAC is here to connect you to compensation, not the other way around. We don’t get paid unless you get paid – so keep that in mind when seeing other communications.
Skeptical of Unsolicited Contacts: If you're getting unsolicited calls or emails about a lawsuit, be cautious. Verify before you trust.
Consult Trusted Sources: When in doubt, turn to the pros (legal professionals, consumer protection agencies, trusted news sources) for guidance.
