By the time you finish reading this you will be able to find you and your family hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars. This money is not loans or scams, it is money owed to them. It takes no real work or divulging personal information on questionable sites. The money is unclaimed money owed to you and your family.

I have written many articles on unclaimed money and foolishly never took my own advice. In researching for my last article I found $400 owed to my mother, $1500 owed to 2 colleagues and $700 owed to my grandmother. No joke.

So the question is, of course, how and where did I find this money? I would like to say there is a big secret and hidden treasure I am going to divulge. Unfortunately, I have no such secrets of the universe to share. It is a simple search on an awesome site.
