Was That Email Spam or Something Real?
Did your spam folder surprise you by flagging a legal notice about a Google class action settlement? It happens—even when it’s from Google itself. One business owner saw notification via email, marked it safe, and still found it buried in G‑Mail’s spam filter. It was legit, part of a court filing, complete with a standard unsubscribe notice. Yet, somehow, even that got flagged.
What Small‑Biz Owners Should Know
Before dismissing such messages as conspiracy fodder, consider this:
- Sometimes, even serious notices can look spammy to filters.
- It’s more common than you think for real messages to get lost in the shuffle.
- If there’s any reason to think it might be legit, check the settlement’s official site or court documents. That’s far safer than clicking on anything suspicious.
