MassGenie Launches Crowd Shopping - The Newest Way To Shop

IRVINE, California, May 1, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — MassGenie today announced that it has launched its unique online marketplace site, which combines the power of crowdsourcing and ecommerce to create crowd shopping. MassGenie gamifies both the buyer and seller experience. It is the only marketplace where both the buyer and sellers can initiate a deal.

At MassGenie, buyers can use crowd shopping to drive prices down by creating or joining Power Deals. Power Deals are short-time, volume-based, discounted offers on everyday items. Once a buyer creates or joins a Power Deal, they can share the deal with their friends via email and social media to create more demand, which encourages sellers to offer lower prices. By helping buyers crowdsource demand, Power Deals let buyers enjoy volume pricing even when buying one or two items.

Sellers benefit from MassGenie too. Multiple sellers can be involved in a Power Deal, which is different than other marketplaces. By participating in Power Deals, sellers at MassGenie get the chance to move large quantities of their inventory and have the opportunity to directly market items to buyers.

The Power Deal is gamification, because it is unpredictable. Multiple sellers can compete to fill the demand volume by lowering their price.

“Our website has been under development for over two years,” says MassGenie Founder and CEO Sean McEvoy. “We are excited to introduce this disruptive technology and change the way people shop, giving buying power back to customers. We believe that MassGenie is poised to capture a portion of the projected online consumer sales of $530 billion in 2020.”

“Today we launched with a curated selection of Power Deals from a diverse group of sellers,” says MassGenie COO Dan DeVries. “We are focused on growing a community of enthusiasts and influencers. In addition, over the next few months we expect to add hundreds of sellers, thousands of brands and tens of thousands of items to our selection.”

About MassGenie
MassGenie is a unique online marketplace site, which combines the power of crowdsourcing and ecommerce to create crowd shopping. MassGenie is based in Irvine, CA. Follow MassGenie on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Pinterest. MassGenie was founded and is led by veterans in the ecommerce and software industries.

ATLANTA, May 1, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — May is National Electric Safety Month across the country and to help promote electric safety to its customers, Georgia Power today released a new public service announcement (PSA) highlighting the common electrical dangers customers face in their homes. The PSA, which is being distributed by the Georgia Association of Broadcasters, was produced in English and Spanish and both versions can be viewed on the company’s YouTube channel.

“Our number one priority is the safety of our customers and employees and the mistakes highlighted in our PSA are real situations we hear about almost every day,” said Pedro Cherry, executive vice president of Customer Service and Operations for Georgia Power. “Whether at home or work, electricity is a pervasive, important part of our lives and keeping simple safety top of mind is the easiest way to avoid accidents.”

Electrical Safety Month Tips from Georgia Power:

Consider the Cord – Don’t place appliance cords where they will come into contact with stoves or other heated surfaces, over countertops or areas where they could be pulled. Look for frayed appliance cords, inspect them regularly and never substitute an extension cord for permanent wiring.
Look for the Ladder – Exercise caution when using ladders around the house, painting, pruning or cleaning near a service drop as all ladders can conduct electricity.
Watch for Wires – Keep balloons, kites, fishing lines, aluminum poles and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs or drones) away from overhead lines every day and as line crews work in the field.
Proper Poolside Prep – Don’t use electrical appliances near pools and never route extension cords around pools.
Focus on Fire Prevention – Avoid storing combustibles such as paint, cardboard, sawdust and flammable liquids near electrical equipment or fuse boxes.

Georgia Power invites customers to follow the conversation on social media using #NationalElectricSafetyMonth and follow @GeorgiaPower on Twitter for more safety tips throughout the month.

May 1, 2017

ATLANTA, May 1, 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — A proposed settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit against Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Wells Fargo”). The lawsuit alleges Wells Fargo violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (“TCPA”) by using an automatic telephone dialing system and/or an artificial or prerecorded voice to initiate calls to cell phones (“Automatic Calls”) in connection with student loans, without prior express consent. Wells Fargo denies the allegations, and the Court has not decided who is right. Instead, both sides agreed to a settlement.

You are included in the Settlement as a Settlement Class Member if you received an Automatic Call regarding a Wells Fargo student loan account from April 21, 2011 to December 19, 2015.

Wells Fargo has agreed to create a $2,075,071.80 Settlement Fund. The Fund will be used to make cash payments to Settlement Class Members who submit valid claims and to pay Class Counsel’s attorneys’ fees and costs (up to $622,522), a $15,000 service award to each of the two Class Representatives, and settlement administration costs. Settlement Class Member’s payments are estimated to be between $20 and $50, but they will depend on the total number of approved claims that are filed.

To receive payment, you must complete and submit a valid Claim Form by July 31, 2017. If you received a Postcard Notice in the mail you may file a claim using the detachable Claim Form, or online or by phone using the Claim ID provided on the front of the card.

Claim Forms are also available by calling 844-363-2463.

If you don’t want a payment from this Settlement, and you want to keep the right to sue or continue to sue Wells Fargo on your own about the legal issues in this case, then you must request exclusion from the Settlement by sending a letter to the Claims Administrator by June 30, 2017. The letter requesting exclusion must contain the information set forth in the full Notice and in the Settlement Agreement, both are available at www.PratherWellsFargoTCPA.com. Unless you exclude yourself, you are choosing to stay in the Settlement and you are releasing Wells Fargo from the legal claims resolved by this Settlement. The Released Claims are described in full in the Settlement Agreement.

If you don’t exclude yourself, you can object to any part of the Settlement. You must file your objection with the Court and mail it to Class Counsel and Counsel for Wells Fargo by June 30, 2017.

If you are a Settlement Class Member and you choose to do nothing, you will not receive a payment, you will be bound by the Settlement, and you will release Wells Fargo from the legal claims in this case.

The Court will hold a hearing on August 30, 2017 to decide whether to approve the Settlement, Class Counsel’s request for attorneys’ fees and expenses, and Class Representative service awards. You may attend, but it is not required. If you wish to hire your own attorney, you may do so at your own expense.
