The District of Arizona has received several reports from individuals who reside both in our district and abroad who have received what appears to be a court order filed in the District of Arizona. The document states that the individual receiving the document must decide whether they want to be part of a Class Action Settlement. The document further states that in order for the individual’s claim to be considered they must submit a “proof of claim and release form in order to be eligible for any settlement benefits”. The “claim form” asks for information such as

• the names and amounts of shares sold and purchased,
• claimant banking details, including account numbers.

The Court will never issue an Order requiring banking information or any other personal information from a potential claimant in a class action case.

If you receive a suspicious document like the one described above, DO NOT send any personal information or payment to the sender. Please contact the Clerk’s Office at 602-322-7200 or 520-205-4200 to report such activity.
