National Center for Unclaimed Funds

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!

Let's set the record straight once and for all concerning the National (now Northern) Center for Unclaimed Funds.

There is no money, no checks, no settlements.

This letter is a ploy for Drive Financial...which as you should know is a legitimate company that provides financing for automobiles.

So if you get one of these letters, it means that either you owe money to Drive Financial or your car is in repossession and they are trying to update their information to find you, the car, or both.

I have recieved the same letter. What this is, is a way to get your info when you owe money on a car or something motorized. They work with repo companys to get currant info on the person oweing money. "DONT FALL FOR IT"....!!!!!

hey i recieved a letter form the national center for unclaimed funds form the center based out of Utah and after reading these foreums i felt like it was a scam as well but i took the chance , what the hey i have nothing to lose, and possible chance to get a check ... i responded to the latter called in and spoke to a rep by the name of Ashley Jones she was knew to the company and so she was very polite i basically really didnt have to give them much of any personal information they just verified everything , (for security purposes) so i felt comfortable and 3 weeks later i was signing for a check for $450 its not much but i was happy....

I got a letter from the NCUF and it was from the Arizona center, i researched them on the BBB and the rating for the center in california had an F rating so i let the rep Bryan Burrell know how i felt about it and he informed me that National Center For Unclaimed Funds was based out of california the exact name of the company who send me the letter but the attorney general shit that site down for fraudulent activitys using customers account number to take money from there account and debiting things basically stealing there money...so after i knew that and he directed me the BBB of Arizona it gave them a B- rating i verified little info and about a month later i had my check for $275 was pretty nice it came right before cheristmas time ....

I did get a letter from the national center for unclaimed funds in utah and they were very very interested in working wit me to trying to return these funds to me i was very skeptical at first but once i spoke to the supervisor he reassured me that wouldnt have any of my personal information disclosed and that it is 100% confidential once then recieve the information of the confimation letter all of my infomation is shredded and destroyed that made me feel alot better i got a check for $315 thanks santa clara county

So im pretty sure everyone wants free money right.. i know i do its hard to come across a company not tryin to scam you and take money from you the National center for unclaimed funds in Arizona has very good customer service willing to help and work with in gettin the money back to you /...

I have such bad luck with money and companies tryin to take it but these people gave me money owed to me i know its not a scam finally .... blessed!!!!!!

I received the same letter from the national center for unclaimed funds in February 2010 & i believe it's a scam, otherwise, why they wouldn't send you directly the funds they claim they have for you specially since they know so much about you like your name,social & address.

Their trying 2 Repo your car or what ever they can get!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No this shit is a scam. Some crazy lady has been harassing me on facebook trying to get ahold of a gloria no one i know. She blows up my phone all day and sends me messages on facebook. She tells me shes in california lives in dallas and their office is in michigan...how the hell does that work. I have reported her and this whole damn company to the better business bureau and to the facebook executives, to get you monsters out of here. Hahaah.

I got a call from an agent stating he had a check for me, and he just needed to verify the last four of my ss number. I felt uncomfortable and asked for a number to return the the call. 1 877 701 3175 it sounded legit. i called again the next day and another agent said a check would be coming DHL, by Wednesday. Wes hall see today is Monday. I don't believe it.

It's the repo man because they are looking for my truck, don't ever us your real address if you do your done and when they send a letter they are on their way so watch out 4 mr. Tow truck.

Hi,

Just to let you know that it is not of any use to call and harass someone who has recently lost a job,because definitely he will not be able to pay,Its only after he gets some way to make the payments through some repayment plans or in easy installments.It will be of no use if the collection agencies even tries to grab your address or phone numbers if you are jobless and cannot make payments

I got a letter and gave them my info since it sounded legit, but I havent got any response. THey even asked me where i worked, and HOW DO THEY HAVE SO MUCH OF MY INFO, IF IN THE LETTER THEY HAVE THE LAST 4 OF MY SOCIAL???? sOMEONE PLEASE RESPONDE!

deleted...pm

please do not post personal info per TOS rules.btw this is a scan,and be on the alert for any strange calls at home or work.again a scam to get your info.

i got mines. they called and i called them back. gave them minimal info and got my money

On August 26 2010 I received a letter to saying that Im entitled to unclaimed funds. Im so glad I researched this first.

I think all of you are full of shit... there is not collection involved I recieved a letter i called the number back and follow what was asked, and I got my money!!!!!!!!!

I dont know who you all are calling. But I got a call and a letter. I followed what was asked.. I got Paid!!!!!!!!!!! Dont you ever see it on T.V.? Paid programs... Just the paid program is trying to sell a book about how to get money back that was an overpayment to the state or county... Like I said I got mines...

I got a letter called back and gave info where to send my check i got in two weeks

I got a letter from them on Monday and called them back like a dummy...they just asked for my address and the last four of my SSN which was on the letter. I called them back today which is Friday and the lady hung up in my face!! I'm a little scared as to "what" they would want that information for... I'm going to the police in a bit. Then I'm leaving a nasty message for this Elaine Sainsbury!!! This taught me a BIG Lesson!! Just say NO..lol

This should be against the law. I too received this letter. This is false advertisement. How do you put a stop to this? They told me that I have to sign for it, so I guess this will assure them that the person really lives at the address. What a scam. I'm so sorry that I called.

I believe this is a scam too.. its funny how only 6 post say they got money back... all 2 and 3 minutes apart on the same day.... Must have been someone working for them trying to trick everyone lol... That's ugly!

no,those are shills for a scam/nothing more.

I got a couple of letters too and I spoke to a woman named Elaine Sainsbury, I didn't give them any information but they already had my social, please can we do something about it???

There is a website that you can go to for your free money. If they were legit dont you think you would have the money by now! They verify your info and come repo your car! When you get this letter in the mail ignore it if you are behind in payments!

I unfortunately fell for this and can vouch that they trick you into believing that you have money owed to you from some settlement and they will even give you an exact amount. The very next morning, someone came and took my car. There was never a check. When I tried to call them back, the number 877-206-8276 had been disconnected. In my case, I was glad to have the car gone finally, however I feel like I was also part of a con game. What I wonder, is it legal for them to do this in such a deceptive way? Because if they would have just come out and said they were a car repo, I would have said cool, come pick it up!
Thanks for clarifying
