This is the second notice I have gotten. It is from... c/o The Garden City Group, Inc. ("GCG").
Nwabueze v. AT&T, Case No. CV-09-1529 SI
Seattle WA

It has a phone number of 1-866-242-0603
[email protected]
It says that it is a court-ordered notice.. read carefully... leagal rights may be affected... and not a solicitation from a lawyer.
It says I received this notice because AT&T's records indicate that I may have been billed for third-party charges on an AT&T landline Telephone Account between 2005 and 2013, and if we did not authorize those charges we may be entitled to a payment from this class action settlement.

Have you heard of this?
I'm always very skeptical of this stuff, and most of the time I just glance at "junk mail" for half a second and chunk it in trash right away, but this looks like it may very well be legit.

It may be legitimate but most of those class action suits are a joke. You read the fine print and all and it comes out to like 31 cents for you when it's all over. I don't bother.

It's a legitimate case:
Nwabueze v. AT&T Inc. et al :: Justia Dockets & Filings (http://dockets.justia.com/docket/california/candce/3:2009cv01529/213566/)

But as odinn says, what generally happens is the "class" becomes so large, that when the settlement is spread around, the amount each member of the class gets is minimal. But you never know. I was involved in a class action 2 years ago, that resulted in a $1500 settlement.

Wow! You got lucky. Most of the ones I bothered to take place in paid almost nothing. It was a waste to even get involved really.

Ok thanks for your answers... I guess it wouldn't hurt to give it a try as long as it's not too much of a hassle. I vaguely remember on several occasions being charged for things on my account that AT&T reversed. I remember being really annoyed by it. Just the fact of having to check my account in detail and be paranoid about another charge we didn't approve, and the time wasted on the phone to correct it and then worrying about if it's been corrected by the time the new bill gets there.

Agreeing to be part of the class doesn't cost you anything except maybe a postage stamp.

Ok cool, thanks.
