NOTICE OF CLASS-ACTION SETTLEMENT.

THIS NOTICE MAY AFFECT YOUR RIGHTS. PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY.

A settlement has been reached in a class action in which the plaintiffs allege, among other things, that PayPal improperly handled disputed transactions on PayPal accounts and improperly placed holds and reserves on accounts or closed or suspended accounts.

Certain Settlement Class Members who had a hold or reserve placed on their account and/or who had their account closed or suspended by PayPal are eligible to receive a monetary payment upon submission of a valid claim form.

This notice summarizes the proposed settlement. For the precise terms and conditions of the settlement, please see the Settlement Agreement available at http://www.accountholdsettlement.com/, by accessing the Court docket in this case through the Court's Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER) system at https://ecf.cand.uscourts.gov, or by visiting the office of the Clerk of the Court for the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, 1301 Clay Street, Oakland, CA 94612, between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding Court holidays.

It's fake, but it would be nice for PayPal to release my precious $400 from my suspended account. I have a verified SSN, bank account, basically everything that PayPal asked for, yet they are still the crappy asses that they are.

Here are the headers. The page it links to is on https://view.paypal-communication.com. I understand that domain was just registered, but everything else looks pretty legit. (paste of better formatting http://pastebin.com/64feXcv1 )

It looks like it came in from 96.47.30.234 if we can trust the header. That's interesting because I don't know what "e-Dialog, Inc" is but the abuse email goes to Ebay:

RAbuseHandle: EBAYE-ARIN
RAbuseName:   eBayEntEmail-abuse
RAbusePhone:  +1-781-372-3303
RAbuseEmail:  [email protected]
RAbuseRef:    http://whois.arin.net/rest/poc/EBAYE-ARIN

Which would add a point to it's potential legitimacy. Again, if the header is to be trusted (and that should be written by the recipient server, so we should be able to trust it).

I'm weighing in as saying the headers look legitimate.

Edit:

https://www.linkedin.com/company/e-dialog
eBay Enterprise Marketing Solutions (formerly e-Dialog)

But it could be something compromised on the side of their marketing company as well, being an acquisition and likely not up to par on security.

Looks legit.

Missing information on the lawyers handling the class action so might be fake.

If it's real, I hope PayPal loses all of its money. They're thieves, plain and simple.

If it's legit, what will happen is:

• you'll get a letter in the mail saying that if you fill out a form you get a check
• you fill out the form and pay about 50 cents postage to mail it in
• you want months and months
• you get a check for $7
• it sits on your kitchen counter for six weeks more because it's not convenient to stop at the bank for seven freaking bucks.

If you are a typical American, you do 1-3 class action settlements a year. They're all like this. As usual, the only people who make any actual money are attorneys.

It's a weird part of American life. You get letters in the mail saying that you are being avenged, and in every case it's been "yeah, I did have an account with $RANDOM_COMPANY during those dates and while I have no personal complaint, sure, send me my $5.50".
