My daughter just called from the States, with the breathless news that she had received a letter in the mail informing her that she could be eligible for a huge refund, via a class action lawsuit, if she had used a credit card to withdraw funds in Europe between 1996 and 2006. Hmm, not an impossible notion for our family.My initial cynical reaction was to say that it was probably a scam. I checked out the website, http://www.ccfsettlement.com/ and wasn't 100% convinced yet, just because I'm skeptical. But due diligence prevailed, and I found out that this is probably a bona fide class-action lawsuit. It certainly seems worth bringing to the attention of anyone who has been travelling or living abroad in the past decade, and getting US Dollars exchanged in the process. Check out the article in USA Today, which in my book is trustworthy enough.
