Forgotten Funds?

Post by cl15876 » April 24th, 2009, 2:57 pm

I saw this news clip this morning and thought I'd share with y'all. You can do a search and query for yourself with the links in the article below or the search any state link.

Headline, "There may be a check with your name on it, just waiting to be claimed. What could the cash be from? Unclaimed money and property, refund checks that weren't cashed, money from bank accounts that weren't closed out properly and items in abandoned safety deposit boxes. ... "

Here is the article and links to search (VA, MD, DC).

Search any state:

Good luck! My finder's fee is only 10% of value! :D

None for me, but a bunch show up with my name. Time for a little identity thieving!

Clbunchofnumbers, thank you for posting those links. I just found money for one of my dead grandmother's and my mother. Sent the info to my dad for collection. Will let you know if he gives me a finders fee. If he does, I'll get you drunk and...

I found more money for my family. Found some for my other dead grandmother, an aunt and uncle. Have contacted everyone to let them know.

My lemur will be available for petting at the party in September. I may keep him away from Shamm. ;)

P.S. That was taken on my 41st birthday. :D

Alright, we try to be pretty open minded around here and us mods don't step in unless it is absolutely necessary but I think this post crossed a line. We do not need to hear about you offering to pet anyone's lemur ;)

Wouldn't that be considered (at that time, marital property?), thus the lack of full-disclosure may be the angle! :D

Colchar, I really do have a lemur. Granted, it's a stuffed animal. There is a picture of me with it on the lemur thread.

Wow, I did a quick and dirty search on google of california unclaimed property and got the state controller website there. Searched my dad's last name and my mom's maiden name. Turns out between the two of them, they have about $10K in unclaimed money in CA. Wow. I'll have to get them to look into that!
