from PayPal. The reality is that they were sent by criminals that want
me to give them my personal information, so that they can empty my account,
or use the information for identity theft.
Go to the phishing page to see more stories
about phishing.

PLEASE READ THIS NOTICE CAREFULLY
Congratulations! You have received this Notice because the
records of PayPal, Inc. indicate you are a current or former
PayPal account holder who has been deemed eligible to receive
a payment from the
class action settlement in accordance with PayPal Litigation,
Case No. 02 1227 JF PVT, pending in the United States District
Court for the Northern District of California in San Jose.
In your specific case you have been found to be eligible
for a payment of $86.99 USD.
Confirm Your Bank Account.
The aforementioned settlement funds may be transferred
directly to your bank account providing you have a linked card.
The funds may not be credited directly to your PayPal account
as this would render Paypal to be accumulating interest and
thus profiting on litigation settlement funds which contravenes
Federal law. Your bank account will be credited within 7 days
upon submission of account details.
To credit your bank account please click here.
Don't forget to check your bank account for the PayPal deposits
and get Verified!
If you are seeking an alternate method of receiving
your funds PayPal will be contacting those who do not submit
their details by the 31th of March with instructions to receive
a cheque in the mail. However this will incur a 7.5% processing
fee deducted from the settlement amount and therefore PayPal
only recommends this option to those users who do not currently
have a bank account with linked Bank Card.
Please Note that under United States federal law credit cards
are not a legally approved method of settlement for Class Action
suits and cannot be processed for transferal of funds in this
case.
This notice is a summary and does not describe all details of
the settlement. For full details of the matters discussed in
this notice, you may wish to review the Settlement Agreement
dated January 11, 2005 and on file with the Court or visit https://www.paypal.com/settlement/.
Complete copies of the Settlement Agreement and all other pleadings
and papers filed in the lawsuit are also available for inspection
