Lane’s Gifts and Collectibles lawsuit settlement email against AC Search & Media, Inc. / Ask Jeeves, Inc. received, but it uses asksettlement.com instead of an official ask.com address, and the whois data is Domains by Proxy.

So, is it real, and if so... why would they make it look so fishy?

The lawsuit, filed in February 2005 in state court in Texarkana, Ark., accused the defendant search engines of charging advertisers for clicks on online advertisements that were fraudulent or done in bad faith and not with the intention of legitimate commerce. The lawsuit was filed by Lane's Gifts and Collectibles and Caulfield Investigations against Google, Yahoo, Time Warner and its America Online and Netscape subsidiaries, Lycos, FindWhat.com, now known as Miva Media, Buena Vista Internet Group doing business as Go.com, LookSmart and Ask Jeeves, now known as Ask.com.
