Read full article: Trust Index: Is the Google Plus settlement email a scam?HOUSTON โ Thousands of people received emails this week about a settlement from Google. This is what weโve learned:Google has agreed to pay $7.5 million after its social media service Google Plus exposed usersโ personal information-- including names, email addresses, occupations, and ages. If you had a Google Plus account between Jan. 1, 2015 and April 2, 2019, you could get up to $12. But the claim form asks for my bank account informationThis request raised a red flag for some people. If you decide not to give up your bank information, Google will use what is left of that $7.5 million to give to a non-profit charitable organization that benefits the publicโs interest.
