Notice Received July 2023
The United States Department of Justice, together with the United States Postal Inspection Service and other law enforcement partners, has conducted an investigation into two separate companies that provided consumer data to fraudulent mass-mailing schemes. Such schemes typically involved letters sent by mail falsely promising prizes or other rewards upon payment of a fee. The Department of Justice has determined that you are eligible to receive a payment as compensation for money you have lost to fraudulent mass-mailing schemes.
This payment is a consequence of enforcement actions against two separate companies. In January 2021, Epsilon Data Management LLC (“Epsilon”) entered into a Deferred Prosecution Agreement (“DPA”) with the Department of Justice, and under the terms of that DPA agreed to pay a Victim Compensation Amount of $127,500,000 to compensate victims of fraudulent mass-mailing schemes that received consumer data from Epsilon. In June 2021, KBM Group LLC (“KBM”) entered into a DPA with the Department of Justice, and under the terms of that DPA agreed to pay a Victim Compensation Amount of $33,500,000 to compensate victims of fraudulent mass-mailing schemes that received consumer data from KBM.
