I've seen a few of these. I was a part of one once. I worked for a company
that make us punch-in on the timeclock after already doing work, and punch-out
prior to doing certain work. They weren't really ripping us off by much (a few
minutes a day.)

The company (Convergys) sent mass-mail to all employees/former employees in
the amount of (I think) $200. The catch was that if you accept the check, then
you can not sue them later for more money. I took the check. It was cool.

Then I think Equifax did the same thing - send me a check that I didn't even
ask for - I can't remember how much it was for. I was on the list of people
they leaked data from.
