Have you ever heard of "unclaimed property"? This is property, usually money, that was never claimed by it's rightful owner. Here are some examples: deposit for rent or utilities, final paycheck from an old employer, a bond that your grandmother forgot she had, etc.
Want to know if you've got some "free" money out there somewhere? Go to Missing Money, a FREE website that will help you search for money. This is NOT a scam. Every state in the country has an entire office devoted to matching people up with their missing money. I searched a few years ago and found $739 from an old employer! I simply filled out the on-line form, copied some required forms and sent it in....then I received a check from the State of Ohio about 4 weeks later. My husband found $50 from an old utility deposit, too. If you are the legal heir to someone (deceased spouse, grandparent, etc.) you can also claim any money they may have out there...it's just a simple form!
One warning: if you ever have a website want to charge you for this service, DO NOT pay it. The information is available for FREE from every state or from the site above. It shouldn't cost you anything to claim this money.
Be sure to search for your name...it's a great way to make some easy money!
