As you probably know the state of Florida is holding over a billion dollars in “unclaimed” bank accounts, utility refunds, paychecks, rebates, stock certificates and dividends etc. I think the deal is if a company can’t find you they have to send the money to the state after five years. They're not allowed to just keep it.

There are over 500 listings of state-held money for zip code 32162 and almost 2,400 listings for 32159. Many of the names and addresses they list are in the 2010 Villages Phone Book!! NOBODY is trying to find you and return your money. Why would they... the income from this “dormant” money must add up to millions for the state.
So, here’s how you get it. Click up the state site at http://www.fltreasurehunt.org/Contro...ewPublicSearch

The surest way to see if they have any of your money is to type in only the FIRST LETTER of your last name (next to the red asterisk) and your ZIP code. It will give you all the names beginning with that letter. If you type out more info and ONE letter is not an exact match (even due to their input typo) you will get “NO MATCH” even if your name and address is in there. i.e. if you type in Smith and Joe and they have you listed as Smith Joseph... no match and you won’t know they’ve got your cash.
Try both 32162 and 32159... you could be on either one. The lists (within the letter) are not in alphabetical order.

You don't have to pay to get your money... just fill out the info they ask for and eventually they mail it to you.
I never did find any money for myself... but have found several hundred dollars for friends.
I'd be really interested to hear if anyone has success. There... that's my good deed for the year.

Well, thanks! You just netted my sister-in-law $94.08!
