However, finding free or unclaimed money on the Net is one of the oldest
scams in the book.
How it Works
One email unclaimed money scam starts off: "There's over 400 billion
dollars in unclaimed money - and some of it belongs to you!" They will help
you locate your unclaimed money. All you need to do is call this particular
1-809 number. The company claims that they'll do a search for free.
Reality Check
What they don't tell you is that they're going to make money on that 1-809
phone number for starters. They also don't tell you that they'll send you a
refined search that includes your last name and first initial in an official
looking database list, and that although they can't guarantee it's you, you'll
need to pay a fee or buy a membership before they'll check any further.
Others charge the fee even if they only locate $2.64 and still others are
aimed at getting your personal information in order to commit identity theft.
The good news is that you can do this research for free through
state-sanctioned unclaimed funds registries and see if there really is
unclaimed money or property owed to you.
