the OP states that "I've researched about unclaimed money and tried all the suggested searches and nothing turned up. Anyone had experience with these types of companies?"

thus people sharing their thoughts.. but next time i shall not bother and let you piss in the wind!

As I also wrote, please explain what the scam is!

Could be legit, I would make sure they are real with bricks and morter behind them before sharing an address etc.

Have you noticed it has only been since AB took down the link to the Sophie Monk nudie pics.

Coincidence? ... I think not, definitely more research required

the scam has been where you receive letters like this and you forward details etc.. identity theft as has already been mentioned.. this is why my ears pricked up..

The poster didn't say how his identity was stolen.

Do you really believe that 2 legit unrelated companies who coincidentally come up with exactly the same amount of money have both set up these companies with ABNs, letterheads, phone fax & email info just to get a photocopy of my drivers licence to try to steal my identity with it?

yep, had the same thing once......... except 1 was registered in NZ....... with an Aust ABN.....

thats what gave it away............

also, you didnt say in you varied posts just WHERE did they find your money........?
and how come you couldn't find it????

that would have been the reason for people automatically calling it a scam.......

but, you knew that already probably
