I've had emails about this and don't know if it's a scam, press this and we'll take over your life. When I google the subject there seems to be an ongoing case in the US. Has anyone else had any experience, good or bad, of this?

No. And I'd doubt US lawsuits would directly affect non-US citizens.
Seems to be as much a law question as a tech one.
I'd be inclined to consider it a likely scam.

I would say that it is a Scam. You need to be living in the USA or Israel for Data Breach Settlement to apply to you.

The following link says it all. Scroll well down page and it says:-
