The ones I see from the SEC don't come from courts, they come from court appointed administrators, or from law firms trying to establish the class. Scams could be possible, but I don't think they'd use the name of an actual company or other information readily checked online. In this case, if you Google "Monitronics lawsuit" you will see the case and a $28MM settlement. If you threw the mailer away, the rest of us will share your $6.75.
The point really was that sometimes the law works and the penalties are big enough to draw attention in marketing circles.
