Had Money Stolen Through Zelle? Learn Your Rights Unfortunately, scams run through Zelle have become all too common in recent years – and banks have been notoriously less than helpful when it comes to refunding victims. Attorneys are now looking to hold the platform and its partner banks accountable for reportedly failing to reimburse fraud victims. You can find the details below. Also in this issue, we have information on a potentially illegal type of home inspection by homeowners insurance companies – aerial inspections conducted with drones. Then, as AT&T faces new litigation over its second massive data breach this year, another baby bottle manufacturer has been named in a lawsuit over allegations its products can leach harmful microplastics.

| Attorneys working with ClassAction.org suspect that Zelle may have broken the law by failing to reimburse fraud victims and are now pursuing legal action on behalf of people who lost money to fraudulent Zelle transactions. Specifically, the attorneys believe that Zelle and the banks it works with may have misleadingly represented the platform as safe and secure while failing to protect against fraud and reimburse customers who had funds stolen through Zelle. They’re now gathering Zelle account holders (including those with Chase Bank accounts, separately) who were scammed out of their money to sign up for a type of legal action called mass arbitration. So, if you lost money via Zelle, learn how you can take action here. |
Is Your Home Insurer Conducting Aerial Inspections with Drones? Attorneys are investigating whether some homeowners insurance companies are violating their policyholders’ privacy by using drones to conduct aerial inspections of their properties. Following these inspections, insurance companies may require policyholders to make repairs to their property or risk losing their policy or having their rates increase. The attorneys believe these inspections may be an illegal invasion of privacy and are now looking into whether class actions can be filed. So, if you got a letter or other communication from your home insurance company asking you to make home repairs or risk losing your policy or having your rates increased, learn more here. |

| | ~ In Other News ~ | The latest proposed class action filed against AT&T centers around a cybersecurity incident that took place in April 2024 and exposed the call and text records for nearly all AT&T customers nationwide. According to the case, the data stolen in the recent cyberattack, announced by AT&T on July 12, contains phone numbers for roughly 110 million cellular and landline customers, plus records of calls and text messages from a six-month period between May 1, 2022 and October 31, 2022. The lawsuit adds that some of the stolen data includes a subset of location-related AT&T customer records from January 2, 2023. If this sounds familiar, it’s because this is the second major data breach affecting AT&T customers this year. Read up on the new lawsuit here. |
| Another proposed class action lawsuit has been filed over microplastic concerns, this time against the maker of Tommee Tippee baby bottles. The lawsuit alleges that the manufacturer, Mayborn USA, has gone to considerable lengths to mislead its customer base into thinking its products are safe and fails to disclose that the polypropylene bottles can leach microplastics, particularly when heated. Specifically, the lawsuit claims that items made of polypropylene “release microplastics with values as high as 16,200,000 particles” per liter and that sterilization and exposure to high-temperature water significantly increase the release of microplastic particles. Learn more about the allegations being made here. |
