Did you guys get this from PayPal?

[Guy400]

I just received an email from PayPal stating I'm eligible for money from a lawsuit against PayPal. Now why would PayPal tell me I can get free money from them just because I'm a member of their service? Supposedly it's a class-action lawsuit in California.

I've been involved in similar situations as this but a law firm has always sent us a bunch of documentation and gave us forms to fill out, never an email asking to follow a link. At any rate, I forwarded it on to PayPal's fraud department and deleted the email. Just curious if anyone else got this email.

I received the same email last night. I was reluctant to open it but did anyhow. I wound up with the same outcome as you. ???

If you accept that money, then you have no way to sue them for the same thing.... its their what to avoid another law suit I bet.

It is legit. I just got this response from PayPal:

"Thank you for contacting PayPal.

Thank you for bringing the "Notice of Pendency of Class Action and Proposed Settlement( email to our attention. We can confirm that PayPal sent this email. We apologize for any confusion this may have caused.

On June 11th, 2004 PayPal entered into a Settlement Agreement with Girard Gibbs & De Bartolomeo LLP and Wolf Popper LLP for a lawsuit filed in 2002 on behalf of a class alleging that PayPal did not appropriately communicate about customer transactions and did not appropriately process limits that were placed on some customer accounts. In this agreement, PayPal does not acknowledge that any of the allegations in the case are true and entered into the Settlement Agreement to avoid further costs of litigation, and to devote resources to more productive areas of our business
