Subject: Lawsuit unknowingly filed on my behalf
Hello Lynn,
Please forward this message to any other necessary parties that should be informed. I could locate only your email contact on the Northern District of CA website.
Apparently a lawsuit has been filed on my behalf that I did not authorize. It is regarding the Facebook IPO. Attorneys contacted me regarding litigation after learning I had bought IPO shares. I discussed the potential case with them but never authorized them to file a lawsuit and cut off communications with them. Today, through a Google search I find they have filed a lawsuit. The details are:
6/20/2012 Civil (CANO-15-(850)Securities CLASS ACTION)
MATTHEW PILGRAM-V-FACEBOOK INC12-3197EMC
In San Francisco on 6/20/2012
Again, I am not behind this suit but my name is being used. I do not know what actions must take place to stop this case, but felt I should alert the courts it has no merit and is not backed by myself.
Thanks,
Matthew T. Pilgram
