Got an e-mail something about a class action settlement against paypal. IF you opened a paypal account between October 1999 and January 2004 you're entitled to part of the settlement apparently.
The e-mail I got is REALLY long so I'll just give the info website..

And a link to the PDF file explaining in more detail:

i haven't read the whole thing yet, but anyone else heard about this?
EDIT!!!: YOU CAN ONLY CLAIM THIS IF YOU LOST MONEY DO TO PAYPAL'S NEGLIGENCE.

If I'm reading it correctly, page 2 of this document (
http://www.settlement4onlinepayments.com/poa.pdf) says that by filling out the short form you will get $50... Who knows.. Doesn't hurt to fill out the form I guess!

I got the e-mail. You have to go fill out the forms. Amazing how PayPal doesn't show you when you signed up for service.
BTW, I was part of the class action lawsuit against the CD Industry for charging too much. I got my check a few months ago. Surprisingly the check was for $13.99 (or the cost of a new CD).

Its about the PayPal suit/$50 refund. It's true. So I'm going to fill out the form.

HOLD THE PHONE PEOPLE!!!!
Here's the first paragraph of the Short Form... Apparently their negligence had to directly affect you in order to file.. DAMN!!
You can make a Short Form Claim if, prior to February 1, 2004, PayPal caused you to lose money because of any of the following:
You experienced an unauthorized or incorrect electronic transfer to or from your PayPal account;
Your PayPal account was improperly restricted or access was improperly limited;
You requested information from PayPal about an account restriction or limitation or unauthorized transfer and you did not receive a satisfactory response; and/or
You experienced or reported an unsatisfactory result from a dispute with PayPal involving a chargeback, a refund, a buyer complaint, or PayPal’s Seller Protection Policy, Buyer Complaint Process and/or Buyer Protection Policy.

Fill it out if ya want, but they've got that "Under penalty of purgery (sp?)" line thrown in there so ya might get yourself sent to prison...
