Here is a recent comment that I received:


@rose: yes, not all of them are scams. In fact,there are a lot of legitimate sites not just in US but all over AUS as well which are really advocating on helping people find their unclaimed monies. At some point, I was one of those who benefited from such great, legitimate service of recovery gurus of which call themselves...agents! It's one heck of a great opportunity worth trying:)

Which just goes to show you that there are legitimate companies out there that will help you find out if there is any unclaimed money out there that you are entitled to!

Woman Wins $112 Million Dollar Lottery!

I am a very big fan of the law of attraction and I found this online article about a woman who won the lottery and boy did she win big!

The article mentioned that she used to "lull herself to sleep thinking about winning the lottery and she actually did!

If there was ever an argument to be made for the law of attraction then this would be the kind of article that shows that the law of attraction really does work!

Unclaimed Money! Here Is Another Excerpt!

Did you know the IRS has $1.3-billion in unclaimed refunds?

IRS has $1.3-billion in unclaimed refunds!

If you did not file a 2006 federal tax return, you may be eligible to collect an
unclaimed refund. Pennsylvanians are estimated to be eligible for $45 million of the $1.3 billion. According to the IRS, you must file a return for 2006 that is postmarked by April 15, 2010.

The IRS also says that no penalties are assessed for being late in filing for a
refund. Also, if you paid for long-distance phone service, you are also eligible for refunds of federal excise taxes billed from March 2003 through July 2006.

The refunds are about $30 for individuals or $60 per couple.

In addition, many low-and-moderate income workers may not have claimed the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). The EITC helps individuals and families whose incomes are below certain thresholds, which in 2006 were $38,348 for those with two or more
children, $34,001 for people with one child and $14,120 for those with no
children.

Any refund money, though, the IRS warns, could automatically be applied to other
obligations, such as court-ordered child support or taxes owed for other years.

Mr Vxxx already claimed his money since 2001 together with his wife.

But I agree completely with you, there are millions of people that have unclaimed money and they don't know about it.

I know because I am in the business of finding people and claiming the money for them, because the States and the Federal Government won't do it.

The most curios cases are people that has been contacted by my company, some with more than $300K and they say that the money doesn't belong to them! When we perfectly know the ownership and already have confirmed the identity of the owners.

For people to learn more about these cases and find if they have any unclaimed money, I suggest they visit my site.

Be Sure To Check Your Lottery Tickets!

Just want to remind everyone to check your lottery and lotto tickets - even if they are old ones!

It is my understanding that one has up to a year to claim their lottery tickets if they have the winning lottery numbers.

This is where a good percentage of unclaimed money is - unclaimed lottery tickets!

Are Those "Unclaimed Money" Sites Really Legit?

According to one online article:

"Yes, such businesses are legal, and in many cases the claimed windfall does exist. But consumers can easily find and recover such funds on their own, free of charge.

When the rightful owners can't be found, employers, banks, pension administrators, insurance companies, etc. are required by law to turn over unclaimed property to the state.

For example in California there is currently over $5 Billion Dollars that belongs to people!
