It was quite awhile ago (maybe about a year or so) but I decided to click on one of "those" emails - i think it was even in my spam folder but I cant be certain. I followed through on the instructions to file a claim, which took me less than 5 minutes.
Recently I received this check in the mail. I'm actually pretty stunned. Its only $260 but I kind of feel like I won the lottery or something especially over the fact that of all of the class actions out there, the one that I decided to actually click on essentially paid out. I can't imagine this type of thing happening like this very often.
Oh yeah, what also stunned me is that I didn't have to provide any verification (proof of purchase etc) or anything. Literally the only info i gave them was my contact info and answered their short questionnaire on what I purchased during the years. I tried to make the claim size of tv's plausible/reasonable, but im sure at this point I could have even literally filed for more and they probably wouldn't have even blinked at it.
