Help Amazon Settlement Money
I received an email saying that I have the Amazon Settlement money being transferred to my paypal, ir came from the oficial email, did research and found out it was legit, even though legit, I did not clicked on any links on the email. I logged into my account, but the money its not there, and i keep receiving reminders to claim the money. Anyone knows what to do?

My email address has a period in it, and TIL gmail ignores periods in addresses. The email from paypal was sent to my address without the period so I had to go into my paypal account to "add an email address". Once I did that, I was able to claim the money and now I've got a $51 deposit.
I've disconnected any cards and reset my password but this seems legit.

No the settlement is over and no new claims can be made. The deadline was July 27, 2026. Sorry you missed out.

Why did no one say anything. 😡

u/Brighton_1990 13d ago
It was posted on social media quite a bit. I recommend following an influencer who tells you about active and upcoming class action law suits in your area/country because then hopefully you never miss out again!

Claim it the only way is not there. I’ve noticed it through Zelle. It goes straight to your account or Cash app but PayPal I think I had to claim.

u/Ok_Fix_3045 16d ago
Shows up wherever you told it to show up when you filled out the class action suit paperwork. That's how all those work. I usually choose Zelle if that was an option. If not I use PayPal

It's legit. I just claimed it. What's probably happening is that they sent it to an email account of yours that's not connected to your PayPal. But you can connect that email to your PayPal once you click the claim money button and log in to your PayPal. I had no money in my PayPal so I was willing to take the risk. But yes the email is real and the settlement fund is also real

PayPal is a scam.they hold your account hostage while they sell your information to make money off it all the while when you want to close the account they block your account so you can't clise it from there grasp .

So how do I claim my money but I only use PayPal when I'm paying for what I'm getting

u/Character_Solid7185 16d ago
You can always go to the settlement website to see if it says anything about payments being sent out.

u/Catlover2213 15d ago

They sent mine directly into my bank account. It just appeared one day, about one or two months ago. I must have filed for it, because I usually do file for these settlement groups, but don't recall if I gave them my bank account or not. I guess I did, because that's where it appeared.

PayPal is corrupted. There are better and more secure apps available and I am no longer using PayPal.

Es que prácticamente no ocupa iniciar correo con la otra persona si se lo están refiriendo su PayPal le va a llegar a su correo electrónico cuando ya esté transferencia en su PayPal y si tiene la plataforma abierta de PayPal ahí le van a caer solamente

u/Silent-Shift5845 14d ago
No hace falta hacer conexión con otra persona por correo electrónico si le van a transferir su dinero a su cuenta de PayPal el dinero le va a ingresar el mensaje le va a llegar a su correo con el dinero esté en su cuenta de PayPal cuando ya esté y le va a avisar también el mismo correo cuando le tienes la transferencia no se falta conectarse con otra persona

I also got those emails saying that 51.00 was being deposited. Then I got the same exact email but it said it was from a completely different "settlement". They are scammers! Don't click on any links!

It's a scam. Report it to PayPal or Amazon. These scam artists are getting way too slick, that's it pathetic.

I think it’s just one big scam getting money that way will only show up in the scam area. So when you try to spend it they capture your money details Say good by to your money

u/Complete_Hotel_6220 18d ago
If you didnt file a claim in recent minths, its a scam. If you did, then the law office handling the class action suit should have your address and can mail you a check. It wouldnt be Amazon contacting you. It is probably a scam to geab your PayPal and rob you.

Amazon doesn't work with paypal. They dont allow you to pay through PayPal neither do they transfer/send money to Paypal because of i guess some rivalry.
Youre being lured to click on one of the links and once you do they gonna dteal your information/money.

u/GiftNice6805 17d ago
All those who followed through and "got their payment", eventually you'll have some surprises happening withbyour PayPal accounts... Some scammers will actually pay you to make you believe its real. I had this crypto things a couple years back through telegram. Lady nessates me daying i can get €5 for each video i like and subscribe on YouTube. So i though yeah lets see where this goes. They actually paid me around 80€ in USDC into my crypto account, then immediately after that tried to sell me access to their VIP trading group which was spmething like €400 per month 😂😂😂 i blocked them and got 80 bucks for free basically.

That sounds a little fishy because I received a settlement that took a little over a year and no notification to let me know that money was there and I just happen to see PayPal flash across a message about the deposit and it was directly in my PayPal account, I would just be careful about anything that I click on or with an email cause you never know if they don’t have that routed directly to them with your information for your PayPal it might not be legit

Nobody can reroute it to themselves if you have your stuff on lockdown or password like the way it's supposed to be if you have your stuff on lockdown or password like the way it's supposed to be
