I got an email with a link to deposit the Lopez v. Apple settlement check. I can't remember how I asked for it to be sent (check or direct deposit). It looks legit but most good scams do.
Has anyone else received this email and used the link to deposit the check. $40 is not worth getting hacked.
 
 

I know about the settlement. I’m just questioning the email as it is perfect for scammers to send out fishing emails right about now to try and scrape banking info.

Looks legit to me.

If it specifically mentions your name in the email then it should be bonafide. Scammers don’t have your actual info so they typically address you using your email like “Dear John940”.
