Unclaimed Money from Coast to Coast
by Jim
Living in Pennsylvania, I clicked on their unclaimed property web site and searched some family names. I soon discovered a claim in the name of a deceased aunt. Since my mother is the preferred surviving decendant, I provided her with a contact phone number and claim info (she doesn't get around too well on those computer things!) After filling out a couple forms, Mom has a check for over $700 on the way. A few days later, I decided to check out the link to Washington State, where I have a number of family members. A quick search revealed an unclaimed mortgage escrow fund with my brothers name and past address! Doesn't get much easier than that. Seems that when he sold his home there and moved to NY, the mortgage co. added the new city/state to to the street line of his address and left the old city/state/zip the same. Little wonder he never received the info. From Mark: Jim, that's great to hear! As I mention on the opportunity page, the price of the unclaimed money package can easily be made back with one claim. It's nice to see that you found money in your own family with the information provided. Keep up the good work! |
