Doesn't surprise me that some conmen show up to try and fleece the public out of money whenever they can.

Same shit, different crisis. Still, at least they're only fleecing greedy fuckers trying to sue their own government (who is paid with their own tax money) for money for "distress".

Welcome to America! (what do you mean its here in the UK?)

..... have little fleas upon their backs to bite 'em, And little fleas have lesser fleas, and so ad infinitum

If they paid this £5.99 as a direct result of the losing of their data (other wise they would not have been conned... i mean bought the information) then can't it be a self fullfilling prophecy and they will get compensation. Of course anyone that willingly buys the pack to claim back is caught under the "created" clause.

... Whether those offering the "compensation packages" are actually just spammers/ ID thieves who are getting gullible people to *pay them* to harvest their details...!

"All we need to verify your claim is your name, address, bank details, credit card number, mother's maiden name...!"
