A settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit against Stonebridge Life Insurance Company and Trifecta Marketing Group LLC.

If you were sent a text message from 650-283-0793 promoting a $100 Wal-Mart gift card, you could be eligible for payment from the class action settlement.

Case Name

Lee v. Stonebridge Life Insurance Company & Trifecta Marketing Group LLC, Case No. 3:11-cv-00043-RS, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, San Francisco Division.

Case Summary

The TCPA class action lawsuit alleges that Stonebridge authorized Trifecta to send unsolicited text messages that stated, “Thanks 4 visiting our website please call 877-711-5429 to claim your $100 walmart gift card voucher! reply stop 2 unsub.” The text messages may have varied by offering a different dollar amount for the gift card voucher or included a different toll-free number. According to the class action lawsuit, consumers who called the number in the text message would be offered Stonebridge life insurance products by Trifecta.

The text message spam class action lawsuit alleges that Stonebridge and Trifecta violated the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act because consumers did not agree to receive those text messages.

Stonebridge and Trifecta deny the allegations, but agreed to settle the class action lawsuit to avoid burdensome and costly litigation. The class action settlement is not an admission of wrongdoing.

Final Hearing

7/24/2014

UPDATE 1/8/15: The Lee text message class action settlement was approved at the Final Hearing. According to the Settlement Administrator, checks worth $155 were mailed in October 2014. It appears most viewers did not receive a check because their claim was denied, although notification of denials were not received by many.

    No dam check Lee Employee

    1. Lee Text Message Employee says:

      I stand corrected. After an executive board meeting, we have decided distribution will begin today. Everyone who has submitted a valid claim will get a check for $163. The uptick in the amount is due to the fact that the board has decided one stipulation: everyone will get a check unless your name is Sharon.

  2. Lee Text Message Employee says:

    We are never sending the checks out. That’s our final answer. We just flipped a coin, and you all lost. As GW Bush would say “Not gonna do it”

  3. Brad says:

    Here we go, this gotta stop and we all must start calling to get them to push theses checks out and not sitting on them like Homeopathic company is doing rite about now….

  4. Yens says:

    I just got my check in Greece.

  5. CJ says:

    You have to assume that if website is stating that the checks were expected to be complete by the end of last month, you’ll likely receive your check by the end of this week or early next week in case of processing

  6. Tracy says:
