Subject line: Takata Airbag Class Action Registrations – Request for Bank Account Information
I did own a car and still own another car that had this recall and I do recall joining in the class action,
But with all these modern scams now awaydays I'm so hesitant that this is another scam.
The website I did register on seemed to be "https://www.takataclassaction.com.au/" now it is down
This email points me to "https://www.airbagclassaction.com/"
Should I give them my bank details?
