I've gotten a few different things like this over the years. What has happened is a plaintiff's attorney (trial lawyer) has brought a class-action case and won. Now he is trying to find people in the class for the settlement.

I'm pretty conflicted on these, as I hate frivolous lawsuits (as the ones I have gotten often have been) and the lawyers that bring them. Unfortunately, they sometimes (often) get to keep whatever is left of the settlement that isn't claimed, in addition to their outrageous fees.

I have torn up the paperwork and tossed it in the trash.

In this case, however, if you were subjected to those fees, you have a legitimate claim.

So yes, this is probably a legitimate lawsuit, but IMO most of these suits are a scam.
