Google Settlement Fund

I got one for 57 cents.

$0.12 for a random campaign I set up for my husband's company. Straight to the trash, it cost more to send it then it was worth. WTF is the point of that?

When a majority of those checks expire (at least the ones that cost more than postage lol), and 10 million people didn't cash them. Money in their pocket.
 


That's weird. I wonder why my check was so much bigger than everyone else...

Oh wait...
 
I can share with you a secret on where to buy homes by just signing over your settlement check:

I gots mine..$0.37

I'm afraid that if I deposit it, Google will find out and ban my Adsense account and de-index all of my sites.

That thing's going in the shredder.
 
Got one for around $900. I *think* the settlement had to do with them overcharging your daily budget (ie: if your budget was set for $100/day, they may charge you $110 because they didn't stop serving your ad before the budget was reached).

I wish Google hadn't banned my adwords account a few years ago so I could have been overcharged and got one of these $2 checks too. I feel left out.
 
$20.72
$74.88
$151.35
$147.71

Probably more floating out there at diff addresses, considering I signed up for new accounts every time I got slapped
 
Imagine how many people aren't even going to cash them. probably a few hundred thousand dollars left over in VOIDed check money.

Someones gunna have a nice Xmas!

How do you think they are paying for the mailing.
