I got an email I had assumed was a scam but it's not asking me to click any links or do anything beyond contacting one if many law offices.

It just says there's a class action lawsuit against life labs regarding a data leak and that I've automatically been included.

Buy how did this legal group get my email? Is this how class action lawsuits work now I'm just tossed into them?

I suppose I could contact one if the lawyers the email mentions but did anyone else get this?

Update: spoke with a family member who also received this. They also have a lot of experience with these. His advice was to ignore it. If they win check back on how to claim a few bucks.

It's the opposite way around. You need to contact them to opt out. That's what's has me confused. I'd expect an opt in.

I do plan to contact one of these firms just to get some answers, but i expect theyll be pretty busy amd take awhile. there's no mention of any kind of fee or paper work I'd need to provide.

That somone can just decide I am part of a lawsuit as a victim, that seems a bit violating.

Be sure to search for the firms yourself, don't use contact info sent via that email.
