Clicksettlement.com? Class Action?

    Has anyone received an email from an alleged site called clicksettlement? The email came from domain xmr3.com and the attachment was a PDF called LegalNotice.pdf. The email is as follows:

    Title:
    Important Legal Notice Regarding Your Google AdWords Account

    Body:
    This court-ordered notice may affect your legal rights. Please read it carefully. If you purchased online advertising from Google between January 1, 2002 and the present, you are a class member in a class-action lawsuit in the Circuit Court of Miller County, Arkansas. This notice is to inform you of the Court’s certification of a class; the nature of the claims alleged; your right to participate in, or exclude yourself from, the class; a proposed settlement; and how you can claim an award of advertising credits under the settlement. Please read the attached notice.

    Looks very spammy and scammy to me

    Should I forward this to Google? Any suggestions?

    I received the same e-mail.

    I made a post about it too.

    I think it's a desperate call to action against Google, trough SPAM.

    Yes, and I use a special email for my adwords account - and they sent it to that email - was Google ordered to share our personal email information with this firm?

    I got it too and just deleted it without opening the attachment. Figured it was spam or a virus.

    Just got the same email about 15 minutes ago. I know I applied and was accepted, but never used the program.
