Is there a way to absolutely verify that this website is, in fact, the correct one and not a scam to collect personal info? Ironically, if they had used the Equifax domain instead of equifaxbreachsettlement.com I would have felt more comfortable filling out that form.

Yes, you can get to it from FTC.gov: https://www.ftc.gov/enforcement/cases-proceedings/refunds/equifax-data-breach-settlement https://www.ftc.gov/enforcement/cases-proceedings/refunds/eq...

Agreed. Possibly Equifax consciously chose a "scammy-sounding" domain to deter individuals from filing a claim.

  This is what every class action lawsuit is like.

  No, they didn't choose the domain at all. It doesn't belong to them; it belongs to the people managing the settlement.

Basically all class action lawsuit websites have sketchy URL's and appearances. This seems to be par for the course and might deter people from signing up which just puts more money back in Equifax's pocket.
