Dell Class Action email ???
I got this email yesterday and wonder if this is legit? For a lawyer,
he doesn't say much so it makes me suspicious. And I don't recall bad mouthing Dell so I think he's just extracting email addresses here and sending mass emails out (ambulance chaser type lawyer comes to mind) ??? Here's the email I got : ------quote-------- I am a Los Angeles attorney who had a similar problem as you with Dell Computer. I am bringing a Class Action against Dell and want to know if you are interested in joining it. I need to know the state you live in, the date you purchased you computer, and if you purchased an Extended Warranty. Randy Rothschild ------- unquote ------- Anyone else get this email ? I have no beef with Dell tho I'm not ignorant to other people's concerns and problems. |

Some states have a State Bar Association or such where you can see if the guy is a practicing lawyer in that state. |

The guy in the link looks like he was suspended briefly from the bar. http://members.calbar.ca.gov/search/...l.aspx?x=51950 |

John David Rothschild apparently had a mid-life crisis, got divorced, had trouble paying child support not a year ago, and probably needs money. If he *is* the "Randy" Rothschild that emailed you, seems like he's drumming up business hoping for a windfall in court-approved legal fees from a class action suit against Dell. Even if successful, the way these "consumer" class action suits usually work out is that there's a settlement of a few million bucks, 2/3 of which goes to the lawyers [remember, typically there's an agreement in these that the lawyer gets 1/3 as a fee, plus expenses, and any self-respecting lawyer can easily gin up enough expenses to double the fee], and 1/3 of which is doled out to the class as $25 certificates redeemable on future purchases from the company sued. If you had trouble with Dell before, are you gonna shell out a few hundred bucks for a new computer so you can get your $25? -- OJ III [Email sent to Yahoo addy is burned before reading.

I smell a scam, primarily because the alleged attorney doesn't list
specifics about his street location and address, state, and phone information. For fun, you might want to play him up until you are asked for personal information or a credit card # to see what he's up to. Stew frank wrote in message ...

Just a side note. By note including his full street address in an
unsolicited email, he is in direct violation of the Can Spam act. He is also in violation of his verizon Terms of Service, which doesn't allow unsolicited commerical email. Smells.
