U.S. District Court Refund

I got two letters in the mail today from one U.S. District Court Settlement Administrator. The letters are copies, only with two case IDs.

I was suspicious, so... I checked Snopes and got nothing. I Googled and hit on a bunch of forums and blogs talking about it. After a quick perusal, I've seen several people say they have received the same thing in the past few days and it's legitimate, and some who have already filed for their refund.

I had to wonder because the last - and only - time I have had any "foreign transactions" in the past decade was 2001. But unless something negative pops up, what the heck...

I got one also. It says transactions between 1996 and 2006.

I sure wish I could get back some of the 20K I spent on my court battle in 2001.

Got one as well. We did take a cruise during that time frame and spend a few bucks in the Bahammas. I am just so darn hesitant about responding to the letter (with all the crap going on with identity theft).
