Dateline MSNBC.com Unclaimed Property

Well Dateline is becoming quite the television show to watch. I really enjoy their series on how to catch a predator and now they are showing you how to grab unclaimed money which may be waiting for you. it seems many states have billions of funds just waiting to be claimed by its rightful owner. All you need to do is to claim it.
With the high cost of gas and the potential failure of the troubled banks on the FDIC troubled banks list it would be nice to get a hold of some cash that I did not know I had. Well seems like I’m out of luck as a search of the state registries for the States I’ve liven in produced no results for my name or my wife’s. So I guess I’m won’t be benefiting from the dateline story on unclaimed property.

I had hope it would be free to found out if I had money. But it’s like everything else comes with a price.

My Husband and I, watched your show last night. I do have company stock out there. (Hi-Shear Inc. of Torrance Ca. We could never track it down. Is there any other way to find out, other than paying these (people ! ), that we don’t know our hard earned money? You were holding a booklet in your hands. Hoe do we obtain one? Thank you, Sincerly, Mrs. Patricia Douglas

You should have broadcast the fees for the search as well as the process of filing with a state

I would like more info on how I can find if I have money out there and also for my sister. linda pederson-sura-emerson- williams-emerson. I’ve checked with the web site unclaimed cash. They say we have money out there. But they want a fee and a credit card of which we don’t have. So if you can send me in the right direction, that would be great.

I would not give anyone my credit card to get money. I’m not sure what site you went to, but I don’t beleive your state would ask for any money. They are supposed to be doing a public service and not trying to derive revenue from any of this.

I agree with others as to why we need to give our credit care information to obtain information if monies are due to us, when in fact, there was no mention on datelinemnbc.com that there would be a cost to check background information.
Please provided me with a website that is at no cost to me to inquire if I am one of the lucy ones to receive some sort of money out there as well as for others.

Shame on you Dateline - send your loyal, trusting viewers to a site and then I find out that it cost money to check. Unless you have a site I couldn’t find that is free!! If so, please e mail me that site.

other way to check out if there is unclaimed money out there in my name.

I also question the fact that they want money to look for lost money you may have coming. I don’t think I do, but my sister was left a trust fund in a bank in Webster Mass., which she was to receive when she turned 21. I have called the bank and they said they never heard of her and don’t have any records. My sister pasted away on August 16, 1975 at the age of 19. I am the only family suriver. Where do I go for help on this that won’t cost me?

California has a free search for unclaimed property. Here’s a link. I went through my address book and actually found money for a FEW people! No bucks for me though….. http://www.sco.ca.gov/col/ucp/aboutucp.shtml Good Luck!

I left A email on the other sight I am not for sure which one can help. I am trying to find a saving account that was set up for my son when he was very young by his grandmother She put money in it every pay day, then she died suddenly. The account was set up that he would get it when he turned 18. When he did I tryed to find it, I have tryed for a long time the last person I talked to said it whent to the state(az) and was used,so we could not get it because it was not there.It would mean a lot to him to find it he could really use it. His father (we had separated) past away he had no money,so was hard to do anything, he was creamated and is now in my sons closet till we can come up with the money, to have him burried with his father, that was on thing we wanted and my son would love to do this for him even if he wasn’t really there for my son, He has never meet his halfsister, but they have talked a lot on phone etc. We couldn’t even get her out hear for her fathers, death . I know it would mean a lot to both of them if the money, could be found,I know there grandmother would have wanted that. I know it would not be much, but for both of them It would mean a lot. There father never did anything for them. If you could please help, so we could know one way or the other instead of allways woundering. We all have changed last names since this had happend so many years ago. You are are last hope. Thank you so much for what you have done for so many people, I hope we can be one of them
