Previous Data Breach Settlement notice

Yeah, its legit but its BS. The lawyers get all the money and the victims get a pittance. they get 30% of $350 million and we get $50. Who Hoo! This is especially disturbing if your info is on the dark web yet has not been used for identity theft and later when this suit is over it is used. It should never end. If your data is used they should pay, for the rest of your life. Don't take the money if you haven't yet had your identity stolen. Its the only way you can sue later. 

Unfortunately, it looks as though we're kinda screwed for the ability to sue post-settlement whether we take the money or not. But I'm not a lawyer. This info was on the settlement site:

"If you do nothing, you can still access Restoration Services after the Settlement is final, but will not be entitled to any other benefits provided under the Settlement. If the Settlement becomes final, you will give up your rights to sue T-Mobile separately for claims relating to the Data Breach or to continue to pursue any such claims you have already filed."

Here is the legit link from the CNET article: https://www.t-mobilesettlement.com/

Use your Settlement code from your text message.

This website is authorized by the Court, supervised by Counsel and controlled by Kroll Settlement Administration, the Settlement Administrator approved by the Court. This is the only authorized website for this case.

I noticed that text message yesterday and decided to call T-Mobile today because it seemed suspicious. I looked at the FAQ section on their site and found the following strange…

22. Where can I get more information?, at the very end of stating who you can contact, it states, “Please do not contact the Court, its Clerk, or T-Mobile.” 

Hmmm…

Well, I called them (T-Mobile) and the representative told me I did the right thing because they don’t know anything about it, and they would have sent me a letter in the mail, and not a text message.

There's a P. T. Barnum quote that sums this up perfectly

Tmobile reps don't know of this as of yet because it's still in court to determine whether it's a class action suit or not. If it does become one, then tmobile will contact us so that we can then file a claim.

Do you honestly believe that if you were eligible to get paid in a lawsuit that they would notify you in a text message?  Come on.  Don't be so gullible

Of course. I got the same when Equifax was hacked a few years ago.

I researched it, did not use the link in the text but verified it through the CNET article, which is a trusted source in the consumer IT community.

And, the T-Mobile reps are not going to help you facilitate a lawsuit against them. How gullible can you be?

Like I said in previous posts, I know the data breach happened last year due to being informed by T-Mobile. What I'm wary of is the form of communication that the settlement group chose. Sending a text message seems…eh…

For the past 20 years never had this problem when it used to be Sprint lol

Thats like saying you lived for 59 years without a heart attack. Has no bearing on anything.  Maybe sprint never said anything? Maybe advances in technology have allowed hackers to attack from many different ways and maybe this is why sprint no longer exists? 

I selected Paypal as my form of payment.  Then I received this email.  There was no link to enter verification code once I submitted.   Where would this info be entered?  Anyone else receive this email?
