ConnectAmerica.com Prerecorded Call Settlement

The notice describes the class using those requirements. However, it gives inconsistent end dates for the calling period elsewhere in the notice, so the precise end date cannot be determined from this notice alone.

• You must have received at least one prerecorded message on a cellular telephone number.
• Defendant, people who make a timely and valid exclusion request, and the assigned judges, their staff, and family are excluded.

This is an estimate, not a guaranteed payment amount.
