How to verify a settlement website

The safest claim form lives on the court-approved administrator domain—not a brand homepage or a random form linked from social media. Paste the URL at /verify or follow the steps below.

Quick answer

Match the URL hostname to your mailed notice or court PDF.

Brand.com is usually not the filing site.

No pay-to-file, crypto, or gift card steps.

Use /verify to compare against Oyster's catalog.

Check the domain first

Administrator sites often use dedicated domains (e.g. a settlement-specific .com), Epiq/Kroll subdomains, or court-hosted pages. If the link goes to a brand homepage, app store, or unrelated blog, stop and find the official path on our settlement guides.

Use Oyster's verify tool

At /verify, paste the full claim URL. We compare the hostname to open programs in our catalog and flag common scam patterns. If we have a guide, we link you to browse settlements with the vetted official URL.

When the site looks official but feels off

Some legitimate forms are ugly or old—that alone is not a scam sign. Worry when the domain, payment request, or deadline do not match your notice. See also filing without bad redirects.

FAQ

Is ClassAction.org the official filing site?

Directories list settlements; filing happens on the administrator domain linked from the directory or your notice. Verify that final URL.

Does HTTPS mean a settlement site is safe?

No. Scammers use HTTPS too. Domain and case name matter more than the padlock icon.
