Previous Data Breach Settlement notice
Received a text from Kroll Settlement Administration LLC (406 201 8925) talking about the settlement of previous data breach. Is this true?
It's about $50. I post a link in another thread about Keller Postman.

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.

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
This is partially legit. Please DO NOT give any info to the number that texted you (that part is a scam), but the actual law suit is real. The site linked below is legit. I've used them for 2 other class action law suits. You're not able to file a claim just yet, but when you are, you'll go through T-Mobile. Please copy and paste link below, as for some reason it is not clickable:

Yes it’s true and yes there’s a $25 option however if you look at the print under that, if you live in CA, it’s $100. 😈

Here are more legitimate links to show the validity of the text. In the CNet article, it sites Knoll group as the contact. The first link is from Tmobile themselves. El

Thank you for sharing the links. I'm not in denial that the breach happened, I was informed of that last year via T-Mobile.
I was hesitant about the form of communication that the settlement group chose. It wasn't assuring at all to me.

It is a fraud, do not click any link from that message, I got the following message from 770-273-0561, so I decided to call T-Mobile first to find out what is going on. Rep told me that this is not how they handle settlement, usually it will be a short message or a letter from the mail.
DO NOT CLICK THAT LINK, JUST DELETE THAT MESSAGE, BE SAFE, AND SHARE THIS TO T-Mobile's 😊

Pueden aplicarse cargos de datos y mensajes.Oh, ok. I thought that maybe the T-Mobile representative that I spoke to may have not known. Yet, you said you were told the same thing. Thank you for confirming that I wasn't the only one told this.
Considering that this is about a data breach, I felt kind of skeptical about receiving a text message regarding it. Just seemed like a strange way to go about it. However, it seems most here trust that it is legitimate due to the sources they've read online. Do as thou will…
No its definitely legit. Going to the source that breached your data seems a little counter intuitive. Customer service isn't going to know the ins and outs of the company's board when comes to decisions.

I know the Knoll group as they were involved with the Equafax breach. I got some something from them last time. But CNET is legit in their information. It will hit the mainstream news soon.
