I'm glad I looked further. I received that same text yesterday. Decided to call T-Mobile today and the representative said she didn't know anything about it and that I can disregard the message. Others in another thread said it's legitimate, however, I'll heed the representative's guidance on this one. 

representatives do not know anything more than the script that is provided to them.

 

search for news articles. CNET has one with links to the claim forms.

I agree I wouldn’t trust the text messages being sent, but link matches what is in the CNET article.

It might match up with what a CNET article mentions, but the government number was issued by Verizon and always been a Verizon number.  At least here, it's either Verizon or AT&T for duty phones.  Nothing from T-Mobile.  There is a lot of spam that comes in on that number also that we don't get on our T-Mobile phones.

I am aware that the breach happened because T-Mobile informed me of that last year. What I'm referring to is the form of communication that the settlement group chose. So, I am glad that I deleted that text. 

Same here, hardly worth giving up all that info for $25

Biggest scam is the lawyers making out millions while the people effected might as well get $0

i just received a Zelle deposit of $165 today

I only had to sign, no social security number required. I chose Zelle for the payment method so I didn't give any bank info. If it's a scam they have no info so its seems legit. Anyone figure it out yet?

So this morning I received a text that Kellerman had deposited $165 into my bank account.  I checked my statement and can confirm it was paid.

I got it too. I'm trying to figure out if it's legit also

I legit did it right now. Hopefully its not a scam. It just asks for a signature and number for zelle. They did have my info adress ect. So. It cant be. Not legit 

Don't get your hopes up. The fine print will be "up to $165" since they don't know how many claims need to be paid. TMO already paid the fine so it's a matter of how much the lawyers take and how many  claims need to get paid out.

I signed up for a similar class action suit for ATT and they said up to 2,000 for any harm to me but at the end I got $22.

Only the lawyers get rich on class action suits. Since there are specific requirements to be given class standing, lawyers aggressively get customers to go under their class suit so they get the class action status first.
