How dare someone would use a well known individual to scam the public!! After receiving the e-mail, I requested additional information to determine the validity of the message, knowing that it was a scam. Some of the questions I requested answers to are: how was I selected; Is this considered a class action settlement or what please be more specific; how much is the total compensation/settlement;
where was the action filed, and when: etc. And I also told them that absent verifiable information, that I would report them to the authorities and expose them for what they are. Well I haven't received anything back, and I'm not surprised. Please be aware of this e-mail, and share the information with everyone. We need to put a stop to this type of scams.
