Anyone else getting this Life Labs email about a class action lawsuit? (lemmy.ca)

I got an email I had assumed was a scam but it's not asking me to click any links or do anything beyond contacting one if many law offices.

It just says there's a class action lawsuit against life labs regarding a data leak and that I've automatically been included.

Buy how did this legal group get my email? Is this how class action lawsuits work now I'm just tossed into them?

I suppose I could contact one if the lawyers the email mentions but did anyone else get this?

Update: spoke with a family member who also received this. They also have a lot of experience with these. His advice was to ignore it. If they win check back on how to claim a few bucks.

You yourself said it instructs you to contact one of their law offices. So.... if you want to opt into the class action suit, that's what you have to do.

It's the opposite way around. You need to contact them to opt out. That's what's has me confused. I'd expect an opt in.

I do plan to contact one of these firms just to get some answers, but i expect theyll be pretty busy amd take awhile. there's no mention of any kind of fee or paper work I'd need to provide.

That somone can just decide I am part of a lawsuit as a victim, that seems a bit violating.

Be sure to search for the firms yourself, don't use contact info sent via that email.
