escheatment

When a saving / investment account is not access for a period of time, the bank is required by state law to turn over the property inside that account to the state.  This is called Escheatment.

In California, the state take hold of the property, and you can reclaim it by searching on this website.

In fact, I encourage everyone to search the escheament database in all states they ever lived in.  Sometimes the refund from a utility company were not claimed and are sent into escheatment. 

So in your case, it is likely that a person with your name has such money in the state escheatment database.  That's how those companies found it.  They are making 20% off you, but you can do your own claim and get the 100% money for yourself. 

Good luck.

• 多謝鼓勵。我在加州的database上的確看見了這條記錄，是真的。問題是我能憑名字相同就去申請嗎，怕的是偷雞不成惹身騷 -XGXX- ♂ (0 bytes) () 06/04/2021 postreply 21:00:21

• 他簽字了，就說明了他拿了100%，到時候銀行追究起來，他擔了罪名還得倒賠80%。 -goingplace- ♀ (0 bytes) () 06/05/2021 postreply 08:46:03

• 銀行已經把錢交給了州政府，和銀行沒關係了。真身去銀行要錢的話，銀行會叫他去找州政府。會不會天上掉了個大鹹餅砸到了樓主？ -stillsingle- ♀ (385 bytes) () 06/05/2021 postreply 09:24:44

• 當然要倒賠100%，包括讓他簽字claim的那個“律師”的20%。如果是騙子，騙子就想合法的得到這20%。 -白鏡天- ♂ (0 bytes) () 06/05/2021 postreply 18:26:19

• 這個database裏頭的每一筆，應該也有社會安全號吧？甚至生日吧？不僅僅是名字？ -白鏡天- ♂ (0 bytes) () 06/05/2021 postreply 18:30:15
