Is this apparent Class Action settlement a spam message?
I got the following email:
CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT NOTICE
LEGAL NOTICE BY ORDER OF THE SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA FOR THE
COUNTY OF SANTA CLARA
Douglas v. DHI Group, Inc. et al.; Case No. 18-cv-331732
You are receiving this Notice because you have been identified as a
Class Member who will be entitled to a settlement payment if a
settlement is finally approved unless you timely exclude yourself. To
file a Claim Form, click here.
The parties estimate you will receive up to $500 if you file a claim.
However, the final amount you will receive depends on the number of
claims filed. Based on prior claims rates in other settlements, the
parties anticipate that payouts will be between $50-$200.
This proposed settlement covers people about whom DHI Group, Inc. and
Dice Inc. (together, “Dice”) created an Open Web profile since July
26, 2012, and with whom a third party sought to communicate using
Dice’s software, as well as those people who requested a copy of their
Open Web profile from Dice.
A state court authorized this Notice. This is not a solicitation from
a lawyer. Read this notice carefully, as it affects your rights.
For more information, visit www.DiceFCRASettlement.com or call
1-855-598-4037.
WHAT IS THIS CASE ABOUT? The individual who brought the lawsuit
(called the Plaintiff) claims that DHI Group, Inc. and Dice Inc.
(together, “Dice”) violated a statute applicable to consumer reporting
agencies called the Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”). Specifically,
he alleges that Dice was a “consumer reporting agency” preparing
“consumer reports” under the FCRA when it gathered information from
various online sources regarding job seekers and then compiled that
information into “candidate profiles” for sale to potential employers
and recruiters, and that Dice violated the FCRA in several other ways
by not treating the profiles as “consumer reports.”
Dice denies that it is a “consumer reporting agency” under the FCRA
and that candidate profiles are “consumer reports.” Dice maintains
that it did not do anything wrong and that the FCRA does not apply to
Dice or its activities.
WHO IS INCLUDED? If your name is located on the top of this Notice,
you are a Class Member and are part of the Settlement, unless you
timely exclude yourself from it.
The precise definition of a Class Member can be found in the Long Form
Notice.
WHAT DOES THE SETTLEMENT PROVIDE? The parties estimate you will
receive up to $500 if you file a claim. However, the final amount will
depend on the number of claims filed, and could be substantially less
than $500. Based on prior claims rates in other settlements, the
parties anticipate that payouts will be between $50-$200.
This amount comes from a payment of $1 million by Dice to a fund from
which payments to Class Members, attorneys’ fees to Class Counsel, the
costs of the Settlement Administrator, and a service payment to the
Class Representative will be made. The final amount will depend on the
number of claims filed.
Class Counsel will ask the Court to award them attorneys’ fees in an
amount no greater than one-third of the Settlement Amount ($333,333)
plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. The Court may award the
Plaintiff in this case a service award totaling up to $5,000 for the
time and effort he has put into this case on behalf of the Settlement
Class.
You will only receive a benefit if you file a Claim Form online by
June 24, 2019, or if mailed, postmarked no later than June 24, 2019.
The Settlement also provides that Dice will implement certain business
practice changes. For more information, visit
www.DiceFCRASettlement.com.
HOW DO I FILE A CLAIM? There are two ways to file a Claim Form: (1)
File online, at www.DiceFCRASettlement.com; or (2) Print a Claim Form,
available at www.DiceFCRASettlement.com, fill it out, and mail it
(with postage) to the address listed on the Claim Form. Printed Claim
Forms that do not contain a valid Notice ID (shown at the top of this
email) will not be processed. Claim Forms must be filed online or
postmarked by June 24, 2019.
YOUR OTHER OPTIONS. If you don’t want to receive a cash payment or
other settlement benefits and don’t want to be bound by the Settlement
and any judgment in this case, you must send a written request to
exclude yourself. You must either send your exclusion by mail or
submit a letter via the Settlement Website at
www.DiceFCRASettlement.com, saying that you want to be excluded.
Exclusions must be submitted or postmarked no later than May 27, 2019.
If you exclude yourself, you will not receive benefits from the
Settlement. If you don’t exclude yourself, you will give up the right
to sue Dice about any of the issues related to this case. Please see
the Long Form Notice for additional details.
If you don’t exclude yourself, you may object to the Settlement or to
the request for fees and costs by Class Counsel.
The Long Form Notice, available at www.DiceFCRASettlement.com, further
explains how to exclude yourself or object.
The Court will hold a hearing in this case on August 2, 2019 at 9:00
a.m., to consider whether to approve: (1) the Settlement; (2)
attorneys’ fees and costs for Class Counsel; and (3) a service award
of $5,000 for the Class Representative in this case. You may appear at
the hearing, but you don’t have to. The Court has appointed attorneys
(called “Class Counsel”) to represent the Class Members. These
attorneys are listed in the Long Form Notice. You may hire your own
attorney to appear for you, but if you do so, it will be at your own
expense.
WHERE CAN I GET MORE INFORMATION? For more information, visit
www.DiceFCRASettlement.com or call 1-855-598-4037.
Please keep this Notice for your records. You may need the Notice ID
and Confirmation Code located on the top of this email in the future.
Please include your Notice ID on all correspondence with the
Settlement Administrator.
I am not sure if this is spam or not.

Worth mentioning here. Never click links in an email. Even if you know who sent it, don't ever trust a link. Anyone attempting to verify those links should tread carefully as there is no way to know even whether the displayed URL matches the actual URL shown when you mouse over it. Even then, the email could have some code embedded somewhere that changes it to a different site when you click it (trust me I've seen this done with my own eyes). So please keep that in mind when verifying the links. This may or may not be a legit case, but the email could still be an impersonator.

So, how can one be sure that www.DiceFCRASettlement.com is not a legit-looking scammer site harvesting personal data?

@artem How can you be certain that someone doesn't impersonate a lawyer involved in such a settlement to scam you? You honestly cannot without visiting the site, and you cannot visit the site without risks of viruses and malware. Perhaps it's best to not be concerned with the site being a scam and instead just find the contact information for the agency through other means (search engine) and contact them that way with forms they'll likely have on their site. Never click links in an email unless you request it. Even if your bank reports a breach and its legit go to the site to change password.

The point is, there's no point in visiting the site to confirm if it's legit or not, you have to check other sources. If you want to confirm that someone is a lawyer and not an impersonator, you request references from other lawyers or look at court records. If you don't have lawyers that you trust - tough luck.

This seems to be the case as listed by Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara.
I don't see anything there which specifies that particular website as the avenue for filing a claim but all of the other details seem to check out.
edit: to check this, I noted that the email said that there would be a hearing on 2nd August 2019. I went to the court's website and looked at the "Courtrooom Calendars" link. After selecting the correct date and type of case, I found the page for the case which I linked to above

Thank you for your interest in this question.
Because it has attracted low-quality or spam answers that had to be removed, posting an answer now requires 10 reputation on this site (the association bonus does not count).
Would you like to answer one of these unanswered questions instead?

Worth mentioning here. Never click links in an email. Even if you know who sent it, don't ever trust a link. Anyone attempting to verify those links should tread carefully as there is no way to know even whether the displayed URL matches the actual URL shown when you mouse over it. Even then, the email could have some code embedded somewhere that changes it to a different site when you click it (trust me I've seen this done with my own eyes). So please keep that in mind when verifying the links. This may or may not be a legit case, but the email could still be an impersonator.
