Consumers in Oklahoma may be involved in a scam, in which they are sent a letter of eligibility to receive a settlement amount—payable in cash—for a class action fraud lawsuit.
According to the state Attorney General Drew Edmondson, the letter notifies the consumer that they've been chosen to get monetary compensation under the terms of a settlement made out of court.
The letter also holds a $2,975 check and directs the consumer to call a specified law firm within one week to “facilitate the release” of the entire award amount, which was said to be $129,000.
“My suspicion is that when the consumer contacts the law firm, they are asked to provide bank account information so that the full award can be deposited. By the time the enclosed check bounces, the scammers will have had ample time to clean out the consumer's bank account” Edmondson said.
While the exact source of the scam has yet to be determined, several red flags have raised serious suspicion in the letter.
“The letter states that all parties involved in the class action lawsuit are sealed, and no specific information is available regarding the type of scam to which the recipient has supposedly fallen victim,” Edmondson adds.
