I received an email from Venmo that Verizon Administrative Settlement Administrator paid me $13.92. I never had Verizon, nor did I submit a claim for the class action lawsuit.
Short Google search does show the payments were made to Venmo and Paypal. While I am happy to transfer the $13.92 into my account, part of me worries this is a scam to get access to my checking account which is attached to my Venmo account.
Might Verizon be including people outside of their own customers? Maybe if I received text or phone calls from Verizon customers? How would Verizon have my Venmo info; although I guess they could send by phone number. Or, maybe someone typoed and put in my phone number?
Did anyone else receive money that did not have Verizon?
Ignore the previous post. Looks like I submitted a claim for my mother, who does have a Verizon cell phone last January. Looked back in my email and found the claim which shows Venmo as the preferred method of payment.
Not sure I am more relieved it wasn’t a scam, or that I am not totally losing it! After posting and thinking about it, I wondered if I applied for my mother as I handle all her bills. Looked back at my inbox, and sure enough, there was the claim form submission.
I got $14.81 - found the info in the junk folder - and managed to add the virtual gift card to my Apple Wallet. Rather proud of myself for figuring it out; it seems I’m getting a handle on the class action settlement gift cards. Now I just have to remember to use it .
