These people are running a scam fishing for those who have taken certain medications or had certain types of surgeries. If they get a bite, they then claim you are owed a substantial settlement such as $35,000 or $50,000 but to receive it you have to pay a "processing fee" of $99. They want you to pay by Western Union or Green Dot Money Pack card and may even want your bank account information to deposit your compensation.
Red Flag #1: If you are eligible to receive medical compensation of some sort it is the result of a Class Action Lawsuit and you would already know about it and been given information about the suit and how to opt out of the award class if you wished to pursue individual action.
Red Flag #2: You do not have to pay any fees to receive Class Action or any other compensation award.
Red Flag #3: The use of an untraceable payment method for the "fees".
Red Flag #4: Requesting bank account information over the phone to deposit the award unless you are already dealing with a Class Action Award Administrator.
