*** OFFICIAL *** Class Action Lawsuit Thread (free money for you)

[Dan Druff]

I didn’t see the ads he posted but in general the class action lawsuits you see on social media are not scams, there are real lawyers on the back end of this

I would assume that yes you are agreeing for your data to be used to be remarketed to

For example Camp Lejeune Class Action all over social media for 2 years now, that’s real and real law firms are buying those leads

They're at least semi-scams. They get clicks by promising unrealistic returns to class members, such as 4 figures for the Caesars breach. Give me a fucking break.

I also don't see why they need to collect any info via these Facebook ads, as lawyers can subpoena the necessary info regarding who is in the class, without needing signups, in most cases. That's why you find yourself getting postcards for class action suits you didn't know existed, where indeed you were a member of the class from some previous business you did with the company.

Going back to the Caesars example, they don't need you to indicate that you were a member of Caesars Rewards. They should be able to get this info -- along with whose info was breached -- as part of the legal process.

I'm not sure what the exact angle here is, but I don't trust any of it. And there's now a ton of it on Facebook, all with dubious "class action" suits promising big returns, which I doubt will see the light of day.

You see a lot of the ads as the leads for these class action campaigns can range from $100-200

Lawyers are buying the leads, it’s huge business



I agree though that it’s ironic that lawyers are generating leads to SUE other people knowing full well the leads are often being generated with untrue grandiose claims as Druff pointed out

Many such cases



Also interesting to point out that as far as I am aware, there have been no major lawsuits regarding these “class action” lead generation campaign despite what Druff pointed out in very obviously false claims in advertising

There are real lawyers on the back end buying these leads this is not hard to trace.

Why don’t they get in trouble?

Legal racket, the entire thing

This one is targeted but might affect some here since it’s a casino. Crystal Bay Casino, a smaller casino in North Lake Tahoe NV had a data breach and a settlement has been approved. Cash option with no issues is a projected $25-$50, or you can claim time spent on it for up to $500. Or for extraordinary losses up to $10,000. And the standard 3 years of credit monitoring.

Information came on a postcard with a needed Class ID number. Took less than 2 minutes for fill out if you get it.

Cash App has a massive settlement they've agreed upon, due to both improper protection of user data AND inability to prevent/react to unauthorized transactions.

I was a victim of this myself, as several "Todd Witteles" accounts were made in my name for the purposes of scamming, and they were not very helpful regarding getting them removed. I finally got them all killed, but it was an ordeal.

You may have received an email or letter from the attorneys already.

Otherwise, if you don't get something by the end of August, you can go here: https://cashappsecuritysettlement.com/home ... to read about it and submit a claim.

A settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit against Block, Inc. (“Block”) and Cash App Investing, LLC (“Cash App Investing”) that alleges that Block and Cash App Investing were negligent and breached other obligations to users when a former Cash App Investing employee accessed account data without permission in 2022 and when an unauthorized user accessed certain Cash App accounts in 2023 using recycled phone numbers that were linked to the accounts. Plaintiffs further allege that Block and Cash App Investing were negligent and breached other obligations to users when they failed to implement appropriate controls to prevent unauthorized access to and use of Cash App accounts and when they mishandled and failed to adequately resolve customer complaints regarding unauthorized and unintended transactions.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/cash-ap...-file-a-claim/

People whose accounts were accessed without their authorization or who had fraudulent withdrawals or transfers can file claims, provided they had or currently have an account between August 23, 2018, and August 20, 2024.

The class-action pointed to a 2021 incident the company disclosed in 2022, in which a former employee downloaded reports of some U.S. users without permission. It also noted another breach, disclosed in 2023, where an unauthorized user accessed some Cash App accounts using phone numbers that were linked to them.

Plaintiffs also alleged that Cash App and Block, the app's parent company, failed to install controls to block unauthorized users and that the company then mishandled customer complaints about the security breaches and fraudulent transactions.

Notice bolded above. You can still make a Cash App account and be part of the class, as long as you do it before August 20!

Deadline to file a claim is November 18, 2024.

You will get the most money if you file a claim for expenses occurred due to their negligence, or lost time. I am filing the latter, as I spent hours on the phone with them trying to get those fucking fake accounts removed, even though it was super obvious they were fraudulent.

One other important thing: It appears they may not give people money if they didn't either suffer real financial losses or lost time. So it probably doesn't benefit you to go make an account before August 20.

As I mentioned, I filed for lost time because of my (legitimate) claim that they wasted hours of my time failing to deal properly with fake accounts in my name.

I always thought these were a scam, some are but each state does have an unclaimed property search.
Forgotten investment from deceased relatives or life ins policies, land, houses, huge potential.

I found this thread on Reddit to be credible, it's titled
.LPT - Check your states “unclaimed property” portals regularly


https://www.reddit.com/r/LifeProTips...perty_portals/

I found relatives with property but my state doesn't give any clue to the amount.
Some states list over $50 under $50 so you can decide if it worth your time.

Oracle privacy breach class action: https://www.katzprivacysettlement.com/


You should have gotten an e-mail if you're in the class, with ID numbers and stuff. Otherwise complete a Claim Form without it (that is allowed on the website).

A Settlement has been proposed in class action litigation against Oracle America, Inc. (“Oracle”). This class action alleges that Oracle improperly captured, compiled, and sold individuals’ online and offline data to third parties without obtaining their consent. Oracle denies all the allegations made in the lawsuit and any wrongdoing and maintains that its practices were lawful and disclosed to individuals.

You have until October 17, 2024.

Do not worry if you were a direct customer of Oracle. This violation occurred where Oracle's involvement was transparent to the user.
