Did a suspicious email land in your inbox, promising settlement money at Venmo or Zelle?

The message goes like this: “This payment represents your share of the California v. Vitol Settlement. More information visit vlc.calgaslitigation.com.” In one instance, a blue circle (with a Venmo link) said the recipient should click to “Accept Money from California v. Vitol Settlement Administrator.”
