Gas settlement email citing Venmo is legit, California says
Did a suspicious email land in your inbox, promising settlement money at Venmo or Zelle?
The message goes like this: “This payment represents your share of the California v. Vitol Settlement. More information visit vlc.calgaslitigation.com.” In one instance, a blue circle (with a Venmo link) said the recipient should click to “Accept Money from California v. Vitol Settlement Administrator.”
Recipients then have to log into their bank or Venmo accounts to claim the money.
