Checks for Classmates.com Settlement Mailed this Week

By Mike Holter

Class Members of the Classmates.com class action settlement are reporting their settlement checks arrived in the mail this week.

The checks are part of a $2.5 million class action lawsuit settlement reached in 2011 to resolve multiple lawsuits accusing Classmates.com of tricking people into purchasing “gold” premium memberships by sending deceptive email ads. The emails falsely told recipients they were being sought out by former schoolmates, but in order to see the friends they would have to purchase a gold membership. Once people purchased the gold memberships, they would often discover these “phantom” friends did not exist.

Class Members of the Classmates.com settlement included all persons residing in the U.S. who were registered with or subscribed to www.classmates.com at any time beginning October 30, 2004 through February 23, 2011.

Class Members had until November 18, 2011 to submit a Claim Form to receive up to $15 cash from the Classmates class action settlement.
