Looking for lost money?

Sure, I sucked you in with looking for lost money...but, really could it be possible that somewhere you've missed out on a whopping $33 BILLION (yes, BILLION).

I was watching NBC one morning and they had a financial analyst on talking about a website where you can search for "missing money" at first I thought it was just funny, but when they mentioned that 1 in 8 people have found their name on the website, I thought, "why not!?"

This morning I went to www.MissingMoney.com and put my name and state into their search. Bam, there I was!

I decided I should see if this really is me, and I look into it and low and behold I believe that this is truly my "missing money." In order to claim this money, I have to fill out a 1 page form and fill in my residence history and have my signature notarized, send in a couple of documents and hopefully in as little as 120 days I'll have some "missing money."

With all of that said, I'm a skeptic. I went to google.com and searched for "Missing Money Scam," I read a bunch of the information and it was all about the "pay per use" sites, but I actually found something about www.MissingMoney.com and it's actually ligitimate! Missing Money is a state sponsored site, that is free - I checked the forms and they're from "Michigan State Department of Treasury."

So, we'll see!

Oh, and on a side note. I checked a bunch of my friends, my parents and a few relatives. In the roughly 20 people I tried, I found myself and my Mom. 2 in 20...not bad.
