Is the United Lipedema Settlement notice real, or a scam?

JND Legal Administration is the settlement administrator for this case. Claims are filed at unitedlipedemasettlement.com. Filing a class action claim is always free — no legitimate settlement charges you to claim, and no administrator will ask for payment, a gift card, or your full Social Security number by email or text. If a notice asks for any of those, it is not from the administrator. When in doubt, ignore the link you were sent and go to the official settlement website directly.

When will payments from the United Lipedema Settlement be sent?
