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. https://www.cnet.com/personal-finance/how-to-claim-your-share-of-t-mobiles-350-million-data-breach-settlement/ 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.2Visto1like0ComentariosRe: Previous Data Breach Settlement notice

There's aP. T. Barnum quote that sums this up perfectly Which P.T. Barnum quote? Is it "There's a sucker born every minute." It seems that one is attributed to him, yet I don't want to make any assumptions. That part of the FAQ really stood out to me though.Heh heh.13Visto3likes0ComentariosRe: Previous Data Breach Settlement notice

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.7Visto1like0ComentariosRe: Previous Data Breach Settlement notice

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…8Visto1like0ComentariosRe: keller postman

Typically if you get a settlement it is in check form. Not a Zelle payment. Do not give your Social Security Number as usually this type of info regarding a settlement(from my experience)is in an email form not a text message. These scammers are getting very smart and have been scamming people for thousands of dollars. Remember Zelle is still hooked up to your bank account. They can also mirror phone numbers. Just some info for you all. "this type of info regarding a settlement(from my experience)is in an email form not a text message." - Thank you for sharing this. I thought it was strange to receive a text message regarding this matter. However, there are others who are adamant that this is real. It's kind of frustrating as I don't know who to believe. I'll go with what the T-Mobile rep said and disregard it.8Visto1like0ComentariosRe: keller postman
