Block Out Email Settlement For Free

The Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation often warns consumers against scams and fake offers. But in the case of the milk lawsuit, there's no scam. Consumers who were residents of specific states and bought dairy products in that state any time between 2003 and now are eligible for free money.

WASHINGTON, DC (WOWT) - Those who filed a valid claim requesting free credit monitoring services after a 2017 Equifax data breach should watch their email or their mailboxes for important information.

If you want to check whether your data was exposed, the FTC and official settlement site have an online tool you can use to check if you were part of the Equifax breach. You'll need to enter your last name and last six digits of your Social Security number to see if your data was part of the hack.

After a data breach in 2017 exposed personal data of more than 147 million consumers, including in some cases Social Security and driver's license numbers, credit bureau Equifax agreed to pay hundreds of millions in compensation to help affected consumers.

You can sign up through the Experian IdentityWorks website with an authorization code provided in the information you receive. Or you can call 1-877-251-5822. Although the initial deadline to file a claim was Jan.

You can also log into your myEquifax account and view your status by clicking the check status of a dispute button. If you are checking your status by mail or phone, please make sure you have the confirmation number that was provided to you when you submitted your dispute.

Yahoo News reported that the email is real and legitimate. ZoomMeetingsClassAction.com provides a simple form that you would have to fill out and submit in order to receive your share in the settlement, which is over Zoom's security and privacy.
