[Bob Coates]

Anyone else get this. I think it is a SCAM????
Here is clip from email. I did not go to web site in email. Says it related to miss marked prices. Estimate I would get about $50.
"This is a proposed settlement of a class action lawsuit brought in the Common Pleas Court of Lake County, Ohio (the “Court”), against Harbor Freight Tools USA, Inc. Beck v. Harbor Freight, No. 15CV00598, Lake County, Ohio, Common Pleas.A class action is where one or more persons sue on behalf of others who have similar claims. The members of this group are called the Class.

If you are a Class Member and the settlement is approved, and you timely file a Claim Form, you may be entitled to a payment as follows:

Google the name of the lawsuit:Beck v. Harbor Freight, No. 15CV00598. You will find a number of news stories about this, such as this one: http://www.bizjournals.com/prnewswir.../03/15/SF12369. So, its probably legit

I received the notice, did the research and could probably participate.
But after realizing that the max I could benefit would be a $10 HF gift certificate, I decided it wouldn't be worth the trouble.

[Bruce Wrenn]

Because I do all my purchases at HF on a CC, and own my own business, I have copies of all purchases for the last 5 years on file, so I may go for it.

My submittal will go out in the mail tomorrow. With luck I bought my folding trailer and dust collector during the listed dates and still have my receipts in the manuals. I also searched my credit card statements online and found a few hundred bucks in purchases. Choosing the gift card refund option, I'll get about $110 back.

When is the date you must complete the claim?

[Shawn Christ]

August 7 is the claim deadline. Here is a link to more info on the claim site: http://www.nationalsalepricesettlement.com/
