Online Threat Alerts (OTA) - Alerting you to scams and frauds.
The Notice of Class Action Settlement Privacy Litigation email below is not a scam. A Settlement has been proposed in class action litigation against Plaid Inc. (“Plaid”). Approximately 5,000 mobile and web-based applications (“apps”) use Plaid to enable users to connect the app to the users' bank account(s). This class action alleges Plaid took certain improper actions in connection with this process. The allegations include that Plaid: (1) obtained more financial data than was needed by a user's app, and (2) obtained log-in credentials (username and password) through its user interface, known as “Plaid Link,” which had the look and feel of the user's own bank account login screen, when users were actually providing their login credentials directly to Plaid. Plaid denies these allegations and any wrongdoing and maintains that it adequately disclosed and maintained transparency about its practices to consumers.
If you have received a suspicious Notice of Class Action Settlement Privacy Litigation email, you can alway go directly to plaidsettlement.com and file a claim from there instead of clicking the link or calling the telephone number in the email.

It’s legit. I logged into my actual PayPal account and the funds they said I received was there to transfer to my bank. I didn’t login through the email link.
Is it safe to enter my paypal email for payment?
Yes, because it will not give them access to your account.
Still doesn't prove plaidsettlement.com isn't a scam.
It’s real. I did my claim.
Me too I needed some support and feedback that I am sure this was really lagit from Billy Alverson billyal...
