Currency Conversion Fee Litigation

Snail mail the other day included a settlement claim for excessive conversion fees on foreign transactions using debit/credit cards. The time period covered is 10 years.

I have never heard of any such lawsuits, nor have I received any previous mailings regarding the status of this suit/settlement. I'm wondering if anyone else received such a mailing? It looks legit, but is it? Given the long timer period a refund could be substantial.

They also referred to a website www.ccfsettlement.com

Thoughts?

I did, with my credit card. There's a thread somewhere the deadline for submitting a claim has been extended a few years.

I received one yesterday. I can accept an "easy settlement" of $25 or a few other options.
