請問有使用"Paypal"的人
最近有沒有收到一封來自Paypal的mail
信件的標題如下:
IF YOU OPENED A PAYPAL ACCOUNT BETWEEN OCTOBER 1999 AND JANUARY 2004, YOU MAY BE ENTITLED TO A PAYMENT FROM A CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT.
PLEASE READ THIS NOTICE CAREFULLY.
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
SAN JOSE DIVISION
In re PayPal litigation
Case No. CV-02-01227-JF (PVT)
NOTICE OF PENDENCY OF CLASS ACTION AND PROPOSED SETTLEMENT
1. WHY DID I GET THIS NOTICE?
You have been sent this Notice because the records of PayPal, Inc. indicate you are a current or former PayPal account holder. This means you may be eligible to receive a payment from the proposed class action settlement in the lawsuit In re PayPal Litigation, Case No. 02 1227 JF PVT, pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California in San Jose. This Notice provides a summary of the terms of the proposed settlement. It also explains the lawsuit, your legal rights under the settlement, what benefits are available to you under the settlement, and how to get them.
2. WHAT IS A CLASS ACTION?
In a class action, one or more people, called Class Representatives (in this case Roberta Toher and Jeffrey Resnick), sue on behalf of people who have similar claims. All of these people are members of the Class. One court resolves the issues for all Class Members, except for those who exclude themselves from the Class. United States District Judge Jeremy Fogel is in charge of this class action.
3. WHAT IS THIS LAWSUIT ABOUT?
In early 2002, Plaintiffs Roberta Toher and Jeffrey Resnick filed separate lawsuits against PayPal, Inc. These two cases were later consolidated into one lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, San Jose Division, entitled In re PayPal Litigation, Case No. CV 02 01227-JF (PVT). The lawsuit alleges that PayPal violated the federal Electronic Fund Transfer Act ("EFTA"), 15 U.S.C. §§ 1693 et seq., including provisions requiring PayPal to supply customers with information about dispute resolution procedures and to follow certain procedures when investigating complaints of unauthorized or incorrect electronic fund transfers. For example, the lawsuit claims that PayPal did not provide account statements in the manner required by the EFTA. The lawsuit further alleges that PayPal has placed inappropriate restrictions or other limits on customers' accounts and engaged in other improper practices. Based on these practices, the lawsuit asserts claims under California state law for conversion, money had and received, negligence, and violations of consumer protection statutes.
PayPal does not believe that it did anything wrong. In fact, PayPal disputes that the EFTA, originally passed in 1978, applies to its business. PayPal denies any and all liability for the claims alleged in the lawsuit. The Court did not decide in favor of the Plaintiffs or PayPal. Instead, beginning in the fall of 2003, the parties began a series of settlement negotiation sessions mediated by United States Magistrate Judge Edward Infante. Eventually, in November 2003, both sides agreed to a settlement in principle. By settling their claims, both parties avoided the uncertainty and cost of a trial. The settlement provides money and other benefits to the Class. On June 11, 2004, the parties entered into a formal, written Settlement Agreement, which is on file with the Court and available on the Internet at . By entering into the Settlement Agreement, PayPal is not admitting any wrongdoing. PayPal continues to believe that it did not do anything wrong. The Representative Plaintiffs and the attorneys appointed by the Court to represent the Class believe that the settlement is fair to Class Members. By this notice, the Court is not expressing any view on the merits of the lawsuit.
.......下面還有一長串
小弟的英文只是普普,看得眼花撩亂....
請各位幫忙...
謝謝
PayPal帳戶的人告了PayPal違反美國的電子轉帳條例.
現在PayPal跟他們達成和解, PayPal不承認有任何過失, 但是同意成立一個
925萬美元的基金要給這些用戶. PayPal將會決定這些錢如何分配給符合條件的用戶.
所以現在用戶收到的應該就是要分配這些錢的一些通知吧.
其他細節可以再跟 settlement@paypal.com 或 1-866-648-5874 連絡.
這個官司是確有其事, 之前在網路上也炒過一陣子.
用戶收到的通知應該也是真的, 不過, 我們畢竟不是美國人, 或許再查證一下較好
(這個官司只有明確排除歐盟的用戶, 但根據Class官司的精神, 符合資格的用
戶可自行選擇是否要被包含進來)
除了可以分錢外, 被包含在Class裡面是否會有其他權利義務關係最好也要瞭解一下.
我不是PayPal用戶, 只是根據看到的訊息來說明,
參考一下囉.
好像收到的人也不少,大概可以放心。
順便題一下再討論區看到有關Paypal詐騙信的一個簡易辨識方法。
Paypal官方的mail,
開頭會用Dear + 使用者名稱,
例如 Dear tku777u , Dear ycchang等。
然而通常詐騙信件會使用 Dear palpal user
所以看到後者就通通可以刪除掉了。
這樣大概可以過濾一部分的詐騙信函。
不過..回到正題,我還是不知道該怎麼處理這封e-mail
