#12Is this real? Looks like the good old scam: Enter your payment method so that you can receive the money, we just have to charge you 20$ to verify your account.

It usually takes years to get paid anything for these class actions, and then you might get a check for $5
This is very true but sometimes it’s worth it. I got over $3K from the price-fixing eye contact settlement. Normally signing up for these things takes less than 10min and sometimes you hit big. Though in this case I’m not expecting much.

#15> IF I DO NOTHING
> If you are a Settlement Class Member and you do nothing, you will give up the rights explained in Question 9, including your right to start a lawsuit, continue a lawsuit, or be part of any other lawsuit against the Defendant and the Released Parties about the legal issues or factual allegations resolved by this Settlement.

How can I give up my rights like this?, especially with regard to a case I may easily not have heard about. I'm in this class, but wouldn't know about it if it wasn't for this post.

That’s why class actions require the assent of a judge. Because they are a compromise between getting justice for the largest number of people, and efficient handling of the cases. It’s imperfect, but so is requiring every one of the millions of individual to file their own lawsuit, or allowing the company to remain liable indefinitely.
Having said that, I assume they are required to make an honest effort to notify affected folks, I got a notification directly in my Facebook notifications a bit ago.

What if I say I've been there, but haven't. Will anything bad happen to me?

I got a case of free Red Bull at one point as payment. They said I could have a check for $5 or a case of product, so I took the product lol.

#20i wonder whether a deactivated (but not deleted) account complicates submitting a claim for a "current" account in any way?
