Of course it is a scam. If you were to click on the link you would likely be asked to confirm who you are by providing your name, bank account number, etc.

Never respond to nor provide any financial or personal information to such unsolicited emails.

Yes, it's legitimate.

How much you receive depends on how many devices you owned that fell under the lawsuit.


And yes, it's entirely normal for these types of settlements to ask for your bank's routing number and your account number. That allows them to deposit your settlement electronically instead of the extra time and expense necessary to send you a paper check.


The bank info only allows them to deposit funds. It would require your PIN to withdraw anything.
