If some of you are wondering if the email you received from clicksettlement regarding the class action suit against Google is a hoax or not (seen as though it wasn't sent by Google), let us put your minds at rest that it is in fact true.

When asked; "Is this email notification legitimate?", Google responded with:

"Yes. On May 19, 2006 (PST) a notice was emailed to the contact email address in your Google AdWords account. The email notification is legitimate and was authorised by Google".

So there you have it, if you think you're owed money back from Google and can prove fraudulent click activity took place on your account at any point from Jan 1st 2002, nows y0ur chance to make a claim.  Good Luck :o)
