'Gas settlement' email citing Venmo or Zelle is legit, California says
Briefly

A recent email regarding a California settlement for gas price manipulation has raised suspicions among recipients, but it's been confirmed as legitimate by the California Attorney General's Office. A total of $50 million is being disbursed among over a million claimants, with each receiving approximately $21.65 via Venmo, Zelle, or paper checks. This settlement stems from allegations that companies manipulated gas prices after an ExxonMobil refinery incident in 2015, leading to a state lawsuit against Vitol and related companies.
"The California Attorney General's Office has confirmed that emails regarding a settlement payment are legitimate, with recipients receiving approximately $21.65 via Venmo, Zelle, or check."
"Attorney General Rob Bonta's lawsuit against Vitol and others hinges on claims that they manipulated gas prices following the ExxonMobil refinery incident in 2015."
