Anyone heard of this?

My sister-in-law called me tonight and told me that her dad had seen an ad in a magazine for the site and he started typing in people's names that he knew to find out if anyone he knew had any unclaimed funds. My name popped up.

Has anyone used this site before and gotten money back. What kind of fee am I looking at here to get this fortune that I have left behind?!

Don't know about this one persay but I checked the site they had on the news a few months back and I had like 95 from an old savings account. Didn't cost me one red cent to get that loot.

i got like 300 a couple years ago I didn't know about because I transfered from UD to OSU and apparently UD owed me some money...was a pretty sweet little find.

This seems a little sketchy but my name is on there for some kind of stock dividend it says over 100. The site has the wrong house number but everything else is correct including the company I work for

Nothing for me. Which is probably a good thing.

Hell yeah I apparently have an unclaimed paycheck from Target from back when I worked there when I was 16. I quit and apparently never got my last paycheck.

Sherm, if we ever meet I owe you a beer my friend.

I wouldn't get too excited just yet. I still don't know much about it and I'm not sure if there's any kind of fee to get the money.

It sent me to ohio.gov Division of Unclaimed Funds, and gave me a claim form with all my proper details. It says there is a 5% fee collected by the state of ohio.

I'm going to send it in and worst case scenario I lose a stamp.

Good point Chicago. Sounds like it's not too bad of a deal.

Ok Sherm, I checked and nothing for me. I do have reasoning as to why there is unclaimed money for you. They were from the patrons, from a comedy club that you performed at. They wanted a refund after your show, filed a compliant, but didn't go back to get it.. so do you already have it or is it double dippin' ???

I kid cause I care my adopted SW Ohio Friend ! I was gonna say Brother, but I remembered that you are a Ginger. I'll only go so far...sorry 'friend'.
