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 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.
最近一直接到各个帮助讨债公司的来信，说我有一笔银行CD忘了（将近2W），已经被银行上缴，held by CA State Controller now。
银行CD账户的名字和我的名字一样，开户人地址和我二十年前的地址在同一个城市，离得不远。不知这些公司怎么找我我现在的地址，不停的给我发信，每星期都有。我还没有老糊涂，当然不至于忘了一笔2W刀的CD。可是这些公司的信上拐着弯的意思是只要我签字请他们带为Claim，证明什么都不用管他们能搞定。等拿到钱他们收20%。
心里长草，请各位律师专家打击我一下，或者鼓励我一下

你要是记得那笔钱，那笔钱也不会被充公了。当然是根据政府记录你认为那笔钱是你的啦！怎么会算是你作假呢？不知道你一身骚是什么意思，怕前怕后就算了吧。
除非你是智障， 2 W 是不是你的錢，你心中會不清楚? 是你的，當然要回來，不是你的，少胡說八道＿
他知道那笔钱肯定是搞错了，比如从来没买过CD，跟那家银行没啥关系。。。但一步之遥的钱充满诱惑。。。真正想问的，比如将错就错提现这笔钱是不是很容易？当场戳穿会不会被当成骗子报警？拿了以后，如果真正owner突然想起来，复查会不会给他带来很坏的结果，比如承担法律责任？毕竟法律不同情你是不是记性差。

这笔钱是被遗忘的，她当然想不起来为什么有这笔钱。反正现在database里面有她的名字，她就申请一把，不是她的也不是她作假。是她的也是政府裁定的，她也没有错。
你们一点逻辑思维都没有。
为什么牙医诊所不直接把钱退给我呢?instruction 上说了必须提供足够的信息证明是你的钱。为一个朋友查了，他有4个。粗掠一下，绝大部分都是低于100美元。
