If You Received Pre-Recorded Message About A Free Cruise, You May Be able To Get Up To $900!

August 16, 2017 at 4:16 pmCategory:News

 

There is a settlement on a class action lawsuit for receiving telemarketing calls from RMG offering free cruises by pre-recorded message between July 2009 and March 2014.

For each RMG telemarketing call you received you can receive a maximum of $300. The maximum amount of the Settlement Fund will be $12,500,000, so the actual payment amount to each individual will be based on the total number of calls and valid claim they receive and the amount they have to pay the Class Counsel (lawyers).

You can file a claim for up to three calls per telephone number included in the “call records”. This means that your maximum payment amount could be $900 per telephone number.

If you would like to file a claim you must complete the online form or if you are going to sent it by mail have it post marked no later than November 3, 2017.

There is an option to check to see if your phone number is part of the class action settlement (its the 3rd option), my number was not eligible but my parents number was (and I will let them know)

Is your number part of the class action settlement?

iPod nano (1st generation) Replacement Program

November 13, 2011 at 2:03 pmCategory:News


Apple has determined that, in very rare cases, the battery in the iPod nano (1st generation) may overheat and pose a safety risk. Affected iPod nanos were sold between September 2005 and December 2006.

This issue has been traced to a single battery supplier that produced batteries with a manufacturing defect. While the possibility of an incident is rare, the likelihood increases as the battery ages.

Apple recommends that you stop using your iPod nano (1st gen) and follow the process noted below to order a replacement unit, free of charge.

Walmart Sold $421,849,000,000 Worth of Stuff Last Year

May 31, 2011 at 1:36 amCategory:News

When it comes to companies, it can be hard to get a feel for their size. They may say they’re “big,” but what does that actually mean? Consider Walmart (WMT), for example. This year, for the seventh time in the past decade, Fortune magazine awarded the retailer the No. 1 slot on its annual list of the 500 largest American companies, as measured by revenues (total earnings before subtracting out expenses).

But how big is Walmart really? The numbers provided by Fortune are so insanely large that they’re hard to wrap your head around in the abstract. So I did a little digging and came up with some pretty stunning comparisons.

According to Fortune, Walmart sold $421,849,000,000 worth of stuff last year. The largest purchase most of us will ever make is our house: If all Walmart sold were new homes, which averaged $268,900 in April, that would be almost 1.59 million homes.
