Oh man. This looks like such a scam... Give me your contact info and your banking details and I'll send you some cash. And 6 MILLION DOLLARS. I am, after all, a well respected Nigerian Prince!

So where's the legit one?

Turns out I think THIS IS THE LEGIT ONE. It just seems they went out of their way to make it look like a scam. I noticed after a few minutes there's a tiny little link you can click to get a paper check for $0.13 sent to you.

I couldn't find anything saying what the settlement might be, where did you find that?

I just now this morning had a notification in my actual Facebook notifications, leading to an actual facebook.com modal I had never seen anything like, which then linked to facebookuserprivacysettlement.com

So it would seem to be the legit one.
