How to avoid fake claim forms

    Fake forms look like real administrator pages but send you to the wrong domain or charge fees you should never pay. Verify every URL at /verify before you type name, address, or SSN.

    Quick answer

    File only on the administrator domain from your notice.
    No upfront fees, crypto, or gift cards.
    Verify URLs at /verify before entering data.
    Oyster links to official forms—we don't replace the administrator site.

    Common fake form tricks

    • Clone pages on lookalike domains (one wrong letter in the hostname)
    • PDFs or Google Forms unrelated to the court case
    • Forms that ask for payment before you can submit
    • Texts or DMs with "you're owed money" and no case name

    The safe filing path

    Start from browse settlements or your mailed notice → verify at /verify → open the official administrator form → submit there yourself. Oyster auto-fills in the app but you still submit on the real site.
