ThatSuiteMoney.ca Scam: Yes or No?

We've got several inquiries about a potential ThatSuiteMoney.ca Scam. What is it? It's a website that informs that you may be eligible to receive money through a settlement if you bought PC versions of Microsoft MS-DOS, Windows, Office, Word, and/or Excel between December 23, 1998, and March 11, 2010. Let's dive in as we have good news.

According to ThatSuiteMoney, the Class Action lawsuits started in British Columbia, Québec, and Ontario, but include Canadian residents in all provinces and territories. The Class Actions alleged that Microsoft and Microsoft Canada were involved in a conspiracy to increase certain Microsoft products prices illegally.

As mentioned, a settlement was reached with the defendants and was approved by the BC, Ontario, and Québec Courts. What does that consist of, so the readers point to the potential ThatSuiteMoney.ca Scam?

They say that after deductions for court-approved legal fees and other expenses, the settlement amount that will be available as compensation to members of these Class Actions will be CAD 409,936,100. That's quite a lot – and there is no surprise that people doubt it. Plus, the website is not very well designed (by the way, beware of the Microsoft Tech Support scam).

However, we can confirm that the settlement published on the ThatSuiteMoney website is real. We'll show you how to apply below. You can claim to get up to $250 cash for individual licenses or receive up to $650 in vouchers for Volume Licenses without proof of purchase.

Can You Get a Microsoft Settlement Compensation?

Now everyone is asking about who can receive compensation under these Class Actions. Let's take a look. You are (qualify as) a Class Member if you were a Canadian resident as of May 25, 2016, who, between December 23, 1998, and March 11, 2010, purchased a license for one of the following two categories:

1. PC versions of Microsoft's Word, Excel, Office, Works Suite, or Home Essentials applications software (including any full upgrade versions)
2. PC versions of Microsoft's MS-DOS or Windows operating systems software.

However, you must have made this purchase for personal or business use in Canada on an Intel-compatible personal computer and not for resale. Purchases must be of a genuine license for any full or upgrade version of the Microsoft products listed above.

If you purchased a Microsoft product to use on your computer or a new PC with a Microsoft product already installed, that means that you bought a license for the product.

How Much Can You Get From The Settlement?

According to ThatSuiteMoney.ca, there are two (2) categories of compensation available:

Consumer Cash Payments: If you purchased a license for one (1) of the Microsoft products listed here for use in Canada, you might be eligible for a cash payment. Purchases made through a volume licensing program do not qualify for Cash Payments.

Volume Licensee Vouchers: If you purchased a license for one (1) of the Microsoft products listed here through a Microsoft volume licensing program (including Open, Select, and Enterprise Agreements) for use in Canada, you might be eligible to submit a claim for a voucher that is redeemable for certain Microsoft products. For more information about Volume Licensee Vouchers, click here.

Payments per Microsoft product license range from CAD 6.50 to CAD 13.00 for both Consumer Cash Payments and Volume Licensee Vouchers.

To submit a Consumer Cash or Volume Licensee claim for compensation, you must submit a request to the Claims Administrator before September 23, 2021. So lots of time.

After the end of the claims period, if settlement funds are remaining, some K-12 schools and post-secondary institutions in Canada will be eligible to claim school voucher distribution. So, in conclusion, visit the ThatSuiteMoney.ca website.

On the same topic of Canadian fraud, beware of many Service Canada scam calls, STDcheck prank, as well as several tax evasion scams.
