Question 1

How do I verify a settlement website is real?

Accepted Answer

Paste the full claim URL at oysterclaim.com/verify. We compare the domain to our catalog and flag pay-to-file, shorteners, and other scam patterns. Always cross-check with a mailed notice or court PDF.

Question 2

How do I know if a settlement email is legit?

Accepted Answer

Paste the sender address (e.g. claims@administrator.com) at /verify. Legitimate notices come from the settlement administrator domain—not random personal Gmail accounts asking for fees.

Question 3

Is Oyster verify the same as /check?

Accepted Answer

No. /verify checks whether a link or sender looks official. /check scans an email address for breach and open-claim matches.

Question 4

Does verify guarantee a settlement is safe?

Accepted Answer

No. We compare against Oyster's catalog and known red flags. When in doubt, file only through the administrator domain on your paper notice.
