Over the next few weeks, more than 1 million Oregonians who used a debit card to buy gas at Oregon ARCO and AM/PM gas stations between January 2011, and August 2013, will receive a check in the mail for ninety four dollars and 42 cents ($94.42.)   The checks are not a scam; they are a settlement from a class action lawsuit against BP.  Learn more online at This Check Is Real dot org
