“We’ll give you $7.43 to fuck off”

I can't even fucking redeem them, so I'll just.... fuck off, I guess? 😂

You actually got money?

I've gotten several of these; all the "pay out" is, is a year's subscription to an utterly worthless "privacy protection" plan thing from yet another corporate entity making money off my information.

This is the first time in my life (sad how many times they have fucked us and paid us little) that I actually get this much money, and I still can't claim it. 😂. It has always been one of those "$1.67" checks that I never bothered with. Slaps on the rest need to stop.

I mean, it does suck... But I think it's pretty based that Canada's postal workers said "oh, you don't want to pay us what we deserve? No Christmas this year."

[–] penquin@lemm.ee 2 points 6 hours ago

That's what I thought, too. Good for them for standing up for themselves

I read an article that anything under the price of a tank of gas people will usually not try to claim it.

They offered me $10.13 but in exchange for that they need my email address my mailing address my date of birth my social security and a government ID.

😂 that's fucking insane. Mother fucker you are paying for NOT BEING ABLE TO PROTECT MY FUCKING DATA!!!!

[–] MacNCheezus 28 points 21 hours ago

“Yes, we totally fucked up lost all your info the last time but you can totally trust us with that this time around…”

Congratulations, your entire identity is similar in value to a single hour of minimum wage labor!

Looks like OP is in canada, so like half an hour really.

[–] NegativeLookBehind@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

I guess I didn't realize that Canadians were also subject to our bullshit credit system.

Sorry Canada.

[–] penquin@lemm.ee 3 points 8 hours ago

Damn. I didn't even realize that :(

Less in many parts of the country!

Wow, you can buy a McDouble with that kind of money!

This will age poorly with the current state of inflation.

I got the same error. I complained to the settlement email and they sent me the same canned response twice in a row that the window had passed in 2022. I forwarded the email I got and got the same canned response again...

[–] penquin@lemm.ee 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Seriously? Man, this all kinds of fucking insulting. They fucking leaked our SSN and they're throwing a bone at us that we can't even get. This is very insulting.

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 3 points 22 hours ago

We have to operate with understanding that all critical data is already leaked tbh

This is the new reality
