Did you buy a diamond between Jan 1, 1994 and March 31, 2006?

got a check for $51.84 today. Enough to take the wife and kid out for a simple dinner this weekend so cant really complain. A heck lot better than nothing.

lately I have been getting a lot of settlement checks from different CALs. Got 23 bucks a couple of weeks ago from WellsFargo for the PMI settlement, 128 bucks from Reebok a month back for their shoes lawsuit and over 2000 bucks for my mom from some drug company for the medication shes been taking over the last 20 years.

the crazy thing is its like they hired the NSA to do the address tracking for them. I have moved 4 times since I filed my claim for that diamond CAL and looks like I got my rebate the same time as others.

Yeah, we got two settlement checks of for AMEX Internation Fees lawsuit. I didn't even submit anything for that, but my wife and I had accounts with AMEX.
 
We got our check yesterday, too. We had completely forgotten all about this and thought that the check was fake and probably part of some scam but just couldn't figure out what the scammers were actually trying to scam from us.

Yay, free money!
 
Sweet. So, if I am reading this correctly, no matter where the diamond was purchased, anyone who bought one within the dates specified is eligible? Because I paid close to $10k for the wife's engagement ring back in 2005.

holy hell. im so glad my wife is not into the diamond thing. she is a ruby/sapphire kind of lady.

In reality, esp at larger carats; sapphires and rubys can be quite expensive as well.

Most 'non-diamond' buyers are happy buying a shitty ring.
 
No check for me yet. I'm pretty sure I submitted the claim back then. For people who already received the check, can you guys post the amount of the check and the amount of the claim? I'm pretty sure I submitted a claim for around $35k.

being too cautious can cost you sometimes. A few years back a local radio station called and let me know that I won a vacation package for like 7 grands with them. Apparently, they randomly select people in the vincinity as their winners. I never listened to that station ever so thought it was a scam. I actually told the dj to go to hell over the phone. I mentioned that to a friend who listened to that station and apparently they replayed that conversation on the air several times ( name withheld of course).

Two benjamins...woot. Totally forgot about this one. It's a nice change, most of the time I get bills in the mail.
