National Center for Unclaimed Funds

Has anyone ever heard of National Center for Unclaimed Funds? I got a letter from them stating I had 30 days to respond to them that they were holding funds due to me. It sounded really fishy. I've googled and looked them up on ripoff but I can't really seem to find anything.

Before I call them I wanted to see if anyone else had gotten anything from them. All I know is there based out of California. There is only a PO Box listed on the envelope. No physical address.

I'm not expecting money from anything. I just thought it was odd that I would receive something like this.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

btw....I wasn't sure which forum to post this under.

that is a scam.i got that too and it is one of those that ask you for your info that way.i just delete it every time as i have gotten more than one.

How do you know it's a scam? The only stuff I find on ripoff report is they verify address and then say something is on it's way. But then nothing ever comes. I can't find any info stating the ask for money up front.

because when i was on there and decided to delve further they do ask for alot of personal info.i wouldn't do it if i were you.it is not about upfront money,but identity theft.

Ok...Now I'm catching on. It concerned me because I had never heard of them and couldn't hardly find any info on them.

Thanks for the info.

me pleasure.

I received a letter in the mail today...

how dare they prey on a poor single mom>(

awful awful awful!

You can also go to your states Unclaimed Funds site-not sure exactly how it would be listed, and it will list all the people who have unclaimed funds. I think I found ours once on our States website. That is the legal one. I had a friend that had had a deposit from many years ago on a utility bill that he collected.

There were alot of people in our area getting those type of letters, and the news station did a story on it. Turns out, you send them their "finders fee" and they tell you if you have money--a complete scam!!

I received a letter today...good thing I Googled it!! Thanks for the heads up. BTW....they sent it to the wrong address and it was forwarded to me.

I got a name..... jeffrey smith...... just as fishy... try to make it seems like you just won the lottery.... they are sending the package gonna have a buddy investigate it who deals with fraud.

I have been trying to do research on The National Center for Unclaimed Funds for at lease three years now. The number that they gave me to call and speak to someone doesn't work. The message always says "the number you are calling from in not valid, please call back from a valid telephone number" I was told that I have six checks that they are trying to mail to me, and til this day haven't seen one. I am very thankful to know it is a scam.

I got that letter today too, but what has me really worried is that it has the last four digits of my social on the lett. They also sent to one to my po box and one to my home address. How do they have so much information.

I received the same letter back in March of this year. I am not trying to be funny, but do you owe Drive Financial? After trying to find their company information using 411.com and couldn't, I did call them. Needless to say it was a ploy for Drive Financial to get my telephone number!!

t, i just got the letter today this is a scam! The letter said i had a check enclosed for $468.56. there was no check. it said i had until 8/11/09 to cash the check that wasnt there. i called the number i left my number then called back and pressed zero a man answered and he had my phone # on caller id cuz he told me my #. I will be going to the police with this info. i saw on another site that after she gave the people her address her house was broke into 2 days later!!! i hope they reverse phone book for my address, cuz i have had a bad couple months and a huge gun!!!

they are tryin to get a valid ifo on the person owing money like address or phone number to locate the possesion and repo it i got a letter and called they were asking alot of personal info

This place is definetly no good. I'm pretty sure they work for a bill collection agency, they call my house up to ten times a day for a relative trying to get info on him and saying that he has a rebate. I know this relative recently lost his job and has not been paying his bills so it only makes sense this company all of a sudden started calling. Who actually calls 10 times a day to GIVE you money? Not a chance!
