Nvidia Settlement

Post by Darrell Urbien »

Ok, so I registered for this:

http://www.nvidiasettlement.com/

My (dead) laptop was listed as one of the units that qualified (according to the rep on the phone when I registered).

Is it a scam? Now that the litigation is supposedly over, shouldn't I have received something?

The sample PDF doc seems to imply that I'm supposed to send in my defective laptop and they'll fix it and send it back to me..

Would you feel comfortable doing that?

It appears to be legit.

If you put that case number into google, you generate a bunch 47 hits.

Here are a couple of them:

I'd research some of those 47 links and then maybe make a phone call or two.

It appears to be a class action lawsuit. I'd guess you were contacted by US Mail at some point.

I have been a party to a couple of computer-related class action suits and had to register online or by mail to get any reward. In both cases, I was contacted out of the blue and had no idea anyone had sued anyone.

I have one going on now--it seems certain RAM manufacturers were engaged in price-fixing 5 or 6 years ago.

I'm expecting to get a massive settlement in the area of 75 cents or so, whatever is my share after the lawyers take their large slice of the pie.

Yes, I originally responded to the link off of a card I received in the mail.
