WHAT YOU DON"T KNOW COULD COST YOU! There is a lot more to locating missing money than searching your state unclaimed property website where forgotten bank accounts, pay checks, refunds/rebates, utility deposits, life insurance policies, stocks and more wait to be claimed. This comprehensive consumer guide includes valuable search tips and secrets you won't find anywhere else and answers questions such as: How do I find out if a loved one had an insurance policy? Will my state take my gift card balance? Can I avoid paying a fee to get my money? How can I recognize and avoid missing money scams? What can I do to prevent my money from going to the state? Where should I begin my search? In addition, you'll find many more places and ways to search for missing money online. If you don't search for the exact name it's listed under, you may never find it. Search at least once a year because new listings are added all the time. "After Mary Pitman was on my radio show a few times, I began keeping a record of the money my listeners reported finding, The total is now more than $208,000! Mary's information is the real deal." George Maher/The George Maher Show "One of the most eye-opening books I've read in years. Mary makes it easy to understand and I recovered almost $2,000." "Bulldog", Radio personality, WOCM-FM

From the Author:

In July of 2010 I helped a friend find unclaimed property listings that professional finders wanted a 30 percent fee to help her get I knew I wanted to write a book to share my search tips and help others find their money without paying a ransom.
As I was compiling the search tips that I developed over several years, I kept coming across listings for places other than the state unclaimed property sites. I wanted to include them, but it didn't fit with the format of my book. When I came across unclaimed child support, that changed everything. I knew I was going to have to rethink what I was doing and include the additional sites.
The friend who inspired me to write the book called me from the post office several weeks after she filed her claims. She had her checks in hand and was crying.
"I fell and bnroke my arm. I've been out of work and I don't have insurance. I didn't know how I was going to pay my rent," By now, she was sobbing.
Her checks totaled more than $2,500.
I don't have a total on how much I've helped people find on their own. SOme of the listings would have never been found without the tips from my book. One woman I recently found $1,147 was 8 1/2 months pregnant and thrilled with the discovery. He name was under the first line of the address. If she searched for her name, it wouldn't have shown.
You won't find anyone more committed to providing a comprehensive resource to help you find all the money you have coming to you.
Since publishing the book, I have been on America's Money Class with Suze Orman and Good Morning America.
