Surely you guys already figured this out... but sharing anyway for posterity. cross posting from GH...

In reference to GH user Processor,

Unless someone can vouch for this guy or otherwise produce evidence of the true motivation here, I'd advise not inputting any information into the website located at gawlawsuit[dot]com

This has shady written all over it and sounds like a reconnaissance mission to me.

Spread the word guys. As much as I'd like to see a collaborated effort, one scam won't end another. (example: ZenCloud converting over to PayBase)

Anyone interested in something like this should be talking to @Allen1980s. He's a trusted member of the community and already has the ball rolling with a lot of fire power.

Thus far they haven't asked for much. Collecting names is a good way to convince a big firm or big agency that they should act on your behalf. I think the irony is crushing that so many are saying that these guys are wrong, but all the while we're talking about how someone needs to do exactly this.

I say anyone who fills out that form, don't put any information you wouldn't put anywhere else. If you feel like you're better off pursuing the legal action as an individual, do that. But for God's sake do not take legal advice from a web forum.

Agreed, however collecting names may only just be the start of it. Something as harmless as just collecting names will cause more people to participate without sending up any flags. Once you've farmed that much information, scaling up to gather more later becomes as simple as creating a MailChimp list with fantastic claims of "We're making progress! Now we only need everyone to submit their addresses and credit card numbers to make a one time donation to the cause!" etc..... Ignore the obvious scammy nature of the example, but you get what I'm saying.

Again, I agree with you, but this isn't the way to do it. If someone is to champion this, it should be someone not hiding in the shadows and dodging questions from the community. Allen1980s is known by many, has already launched a campaign and, most importantly, has already secured an attorney with relevant experience.
