You could be getting money. Here's what happened. All 50 states sued Google for running monopoly of the Play Store and overcharging customers. Google agreed to settle for $700 million. $700 million. Okay, that's big. So if you bought any apps or made any in app purchases between 2016 and 2023, you get a piece of this massive settlement. You don't have to do anything. You don't have to fill out a form. You don't have to find a receipt. The money just will show up automatically in your PayPal or Venmo account. Oh, okay. So think about this.

4:58

How much money we're talking about? $700 million.

Two bucks a person.

Well, watch for that deposit. Yes, but here's what's. What I don't like about this is that they are going to have scammers who say, hey, you got to get your part of the settlement. Enter all your PayPal information right here. Of course you told people not to delete that email. It's not worth the $2. Delete it.

5:43

Well, if you want the $2, it's not worth it. But if you some scammer like from google.br right?

6:00

Exactly.

6:09

Hey, you know what's a pirate's favorite settlement amount? A buccaneer. And Google's giving you two of them. Don't spin it in the. Don't spin it in the wrong place.
