Please provide the correct website for Mohan v Dell settlement. The one in the article does not work.
SBE Claim # and Password do not match up when trying to file for claim on your website. They have been entered five times as listed on the claim form information mailed out and is not accepted by your system. The website provided on the form of info@sctaxsett.com could not be found.
PLEASE ADVISE!!!
Everything, the web site, the claim number and name all worked. However, I did not like the idea that I had to send in my social security number..on line. Did anyone else find that questionable? H
Yes… as soon as they came up, I began questioning the validity of this claim. Since when do we send in our SS# online? I didn’t submit the claim yet and decided to do some online searching first….? Not sure if this is worth my time… since my settlement is so low….
Even though the form is on a secure https url, I would NEVER list my SSN on any website. They already have my name and address, they don’t need anything else. This is probably their way to pocket a little bit more of your money, knowing many folks will decline filing because of this issue.
They dont have your SSN so use your imagination.
I have been trying to file my claim but unable to use it neither the claim but#10890860 nor my pass word is not working at all please advice.
Thanks
