Illinois FB settlement checks are going out

[Doc Sportello]

I had forgotten that I signed up for this lawsuit a couple of years ago but had my check deposited today:

1. I remember this and I think I am due a check. I have NO idea how to check.

I'm pretty sure I signed on to this and I'm completely at a loss how to find out. The FAQs are not much help. I guess it will be a happy surprise if a check shows up in my mailbox...

3. You can try these

Settlement Administrator at 1-844-799-2417 or write to In re Facebook Biometric Information Privacy Litigation Settlement Administrator, P.O. Box 43401, Providence, RI 02940-3401, or call Class Counsel Edelson (1-866-354-3015), Robbins Geller (1-800-449-4900), and Labaton Sucharow (1-888-219-6877).

I did check online when I first got the notice but damned if I can find it now through a search. Hope the above helps.

2. I got a surprise check today!

Surprise, because although I have had a Facebook account for many years, I am anything but an active user. Never post, and only occasionally read. But I have (annoyingly) been tagged in other people’s pictures that were posted, so I thought what the heck, I may qualify, and maybe will get twenty bucks or something.

Forgot all about it for a long time, and then, shock! A check for $397! Well, they can afford it, so it’s in the bank already.

4. Same as me

I never liked the automatic tagging either and rarely used FB either. Of course they deny any wrongdoing, as expected.
