Six forty five in the morning. It is a Friday.
Mike Elliott, Columbus's Morning News. Glad you're with us. Let's
say good morning and happy Friday. Rory O'Neil, NBC News
Radio on the Legacy Retirement Group dot com phone line. Rory,
if you are an AT and T customer, you might
be getting a little cash coming back your way. What's
the deal here?
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Yeah, you know, if you really run through this, you
could get up to seventy five hundred dollars. WHOA, Yeah, No,
it's not one of those. Here's a seventy seven cent credit. Yeah,
this is a legit. Because of a few data breaches
that happened last year, AT and T has agreed to
a one hundred and seventy seven billion dollar class action settlement.
(00:37):
Now I'm going to give you a website. I know
it's a pan in the butt on radios when I'm
prepping you in advance about a website that's coming that
really helps you identify whether or not you qualify for
some of this, and a lot of you are already
going to AT and G customers will already have gotten
an email about this in particular. So the website is
are you ready for it? Telecom data settlement, dot Com
(01:00):
Telecom data data settlement, dot Com.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Settlement, dot Com Telecom data settlement, dot Com. If you're
an AT and T customer, you can go in and
probably plug in a little bit of information and see
how much you are eligib before and you said so
this typically in these class action lawsuits, you're right, it's
a dollar eighty five and it's like, oh, who cares?
And most people don't even go and bother to collect.
But if you're saying seventy five hundred bucks is the potential,
(01:28):
I think a lot of people are interested.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Now absolutely, Or it's a credit, but I just hate
I wanted to leave you, but now I've got to
keep it because it's a credit, you know.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Ah. But yeah, no, this is a serious cash that's
on the line. And the website I gave you was
a link essentially to the law firm that helped to
broker this settlement deal, so they have contact access and
you know how, you can submit your claim there directly.
But again, a lot of AT and T customers already
affected by this would have gotten an email in the past, oh,
let's say, twenty four hours or so so keep ahead
(02:00):
up for it, but to avoid spam me stuff again.
Telecom Datasettlement dot com is the website, just to make
sure you get the actual one.
