Unclaimed property? be careful of scams, but it IS really possible you have money out there

Marjory Wildcraft · October 2020

Hey everyone,

I got a letter in the mail about some unclaimed money I had from an insurance policy on a property I used to own in Florida years and years ago. I was dubious of course, and I've owned a lot of property in my life. The company offered to do all the filing for me and take 20% cut of the approximately $800 owed me. I did some surfing around and saw that the company looked legit, but also that the paperwork wasn't that difficult. So I decided to do the refund from the State on my own. I filled in the application and then forgot all about it.

I was surprised a few months later to get a check for the $800. Wow!

Here is a link to an organization that can help you search to see if you have any unclaimed property - this is for the US - my apologies for our Int'l members. If you have links for your countries please list them in the comments!

Hey, you may be rich and not know it! Ha, ha, be sure to buy something at The Grow Netowrk store to celebrate. (grin).

You came out much better than we did. We discovered $96 that was Dad's. The paperwork is pretty easy but it does take a while to actually get the money.

I have a website company that owes me some money. I found it using this link. TY

Every now and then the News has a story about money being held by the State and once I discovered a paycheck from a Temp company I worked at6 so I submitted the form to the State and received the money. This year I checked because some people were owed a refund on their property tax, so I check and neither my dad nor I were on the list. You might check the different State websites.

Thank you for posting! This is the first time for me checking and I have a small amount and found others for extended family across the US.

Printing and paperwork time soon.😁

Thanks for posting! I didn't find anything for myself but did for my dad & sister in law so alerted them - will let you know if they are successful at retrieving it.

Nice! I had an unclaimed refund from an electric company, and also found something for my grandpa. Thanks for sharing, Marjory!
