I just got a check (or say it says) for $18.04 from some Foreign Currency Fee Litigation Settlement Fund. Something about credit card companies charging too much.

Is this legit? If I cash it, do I sign up to receive a life-time supply of monkey gland extract or something?

Their web site says I can apply to get $25, so I don't know why they're sending me $18.04 out of the blue.

Anybody heard of this?

Was it sent in an envelope with first class postage or prepaid sub first class rate?

No, it's like a post card folded over. My partner got one too -- exactly the same amount and everything.

According to a quick Google search, this appears to be legit. Did you use your credit card outside of the U.S. sometime in the last 10 years?

I got one of those check with the same $18.04 amount. I remembered using my credit card to purchase some items from Great Britain and they charged me extra for their service fee on top of the conversion fee.

Thanks, everyone. Yes, we used credit cards on a couple trips to Canada and one to Jamaica in the last few years. So, I guess I'll cash the checks. And wait for the invoices for the monkey gland extrac to arrive.......
