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.
agreed. I told my mom to not use the ID or the link that came in on the text she received. Go to the site directly and request a new ID if she chooses to file a claim. Can only think the Verizon number was a mistake by the firm handling the class action filing. Data integrity and personal data security are just demonstrably low priorities.
As many point out the amount getting paid in no way matches the real value of the personal data.
