From Mashable: http://mashable.com/2013/01/03/facebook-settlement-email/

The following email is what I received today and another client of mine received it shortly afterwards (weird, I was remoted into her computer when I saw it come in and told her to just delete it as it was probably spam), but then I realized…it could be real. I checked and it’s good. If you want to get $5 or $10 and if you were in a sponsored ad, go for it!

This avid social media maniac is not going to spend time to do this to get back $10. But hey, it’s $10 if were in an ad.
