I find it strange that they would notify via email. Email doesn't strike me as an "official notification". Naturally, they want your Ask.com account number. If you do a WhoIs for the AskSettlement.com domain name that they direct you to, you will see that it's got a private registration through "Domains By Proxy". What law firm would do that? You would think that they would want you to find them. I think it's a scam. They already have your email address and other information that is public about your firm. Armed your account number, all it would take is a call to ASK requesting an email address and password change. My click fraud losses weren't substantial, so this goes to file-13.
