Success Stories

Below you will find some of the success  stories of people that have searched for unclaimed money for themselves or for others.

Royalty Regained

by Leni Valenta
(Boca Raton,Florida)I’m not talking about getting back a throne. My husband, Dr. Jiri Valenta, has authored several books on international relations. He got a notice form Johns Hopkins University Press that they had lost track of him for awhile. They asked him to look into finding some royalties with the State of Maryland’s unclaimed funds. He got back several hundred dollars.


From Mark
That is great Leni! That just goes to show you no matter who you are or what you do, there is a possibility that money has been lost and is being held by an unclaimed money department.

There is a video on the site with Rebecca Jarvis and Harry Smith where she notifies him that he has unclaimed money being held for him from royalties for television shows that he has appeared on.

This is just another of the many reasons why money goes unclaimed.

Prayers Were Answered – Money Found

by Diane
(Champlin, MN)

I had an awesome experience last Friday .. sent a letter to an Heir – only daughter to an estate ..

first of all, she said that she visited her mothers grave only weeks ago and asked her mother to give her a “sign” that she was thinking of her ..and needed her mothers help ..

my letter happened to come to the daughter of the estate on her mother’s birthday .. she was shocked .. called me and we would meet Friday .. she told me that she really needed $10,000 due to a medical procedure she had to have very soon but could not afford it ..


We met and I advised her of the dividends and stocks her mother had back several years ago worth around $41,000.00 – she began to cry and it was a very touching meeting .. and very rewarding !!! (gave me the goosebumps)

From Mark

Diane,

That is such a great story!
It’s great when you can make a difference like that in someones life.

Thank you for sharing that.

Unclaimed Money from Coast to Coast

by Jim
(Pa.)

Shortly after purchasing and reading the Ultimate Guide To Your Successful Unclaimed Money Business, I decided to familiarize myself with the material by exploring some of the provided links.

Living in Pennsylvania, I clicked on their unclaimed property web site and searched some family names. I soon discovered a claim in the name of a deceased aunt. Since my mother is the preferred surviving decendant, I provided her with a contact phone number and claim info (she doesn’t get around too well on those computer things!) After filling out a couple forms, Mom has a check for over $700 on the way.

A few days later, I decided to check out the link to Washington State, where I have a number of family members. A quick search revealed an unclaimed mortgage escrow fund with my brothers name and past address! Doesn’t get much easier than that. Seems that when he sold his home there and moved to NY, the mortgage co. added the new city/state to to the street line of his address and left the old city/state/zip the same. Little wonder he never received the info.

From Mark:
Jim, that’s great to hear! As I mention on the opportunity page, the price of the unclaimed money package can easily be made back with one claim. It’s nice to see that you found money in your own family with the information provided. Keep up the good work!

(Kentucky)This is a great kit! Just what I was looking for!

From Mark:

Thank you Deanna! Good luck in your new venture!

$560 Found Money in Georgia

by Chris
(Atlanta, GA)

I stumbled across the state unclaimed money website, entered my name and just like that found $560! I called them and they mailed my check out about a month later. This really does work!

From Mark:
Thanks Chris! That’s great to hear!

Unclaimed Money Found!

by Lynda
(Mississippi)

Great news … I helped my first cousin find money the state of Mississippi owed him.

He didn’t know a thing about it because it was listed in his deceased mother’s business name.

Needless to say, he was thrilled –and so was I.

It pays to check!

From Mark:

Great news Lynda! Glad to hear that success story!

Connecticut Unclaimed Money Experience

by Chaplain Paul Slater
(San Diego, CA)

While visiting the Connecticut state website, I noticed a link to unclaimed money.

I had an uncle who had passed away a few years back and since he was a bachelor with no heirs, I submitted his name.

Anticipating I had discovered the proverbial rich lost uncle we all wish for, I noticed that the total of his estate lay unclaimed indeed.


Imagine my joy in finally finding the answer to my money woes! $24 lay unclaimed and still is to this day unless a relative unknown to me has laid claim to it. Moral of the story: I am greedier than I thought.

    Happy New Year! Just wanted to take a minute to tell you Thank You! Since I’ve had your Ultimate Guide I’ve been able to help my clients recover funds that have been sitting dormant from over 10+ years. My most recent recovery (December 2020) I was able to recover $95,000.00 of a $190,000.00 Life Insurance claim. This one was not easy however very informative. The one prior to this one, I was able to recover $53,000.00 for another client, again another challenging one. Mind you I’m in TX and they do not make it easy for anyone. Nevertheless, I got the job done. One thing I don’t understand is how having a PI license benefits me. I’m still trying to figure that one out. I was able to have my clients check sent directly to me, of course it was made out to her but with my address for delivery. I have gained so much more knowledge now that I have taken on two difficult cases. I look forward to assisting many more clients.

    Thanks Again!

    Karren W. , TX

      Hi Karen,

      I’ve been a licensed insurance broker since 1985. I’d like to add this service to our agency. I’ve always been amazed at the amount of life insurance policies that go unclaimed. When you recovered $95,000 in life insurance proceeds did you know the name of the insured or did you simply do a search for an individual and see the amount of life insurance?

      Once you uncovered that there was $95,000 of unpaid life insurance how did you determine who were the rightful beneficiaries?

      I appreciate any information that you can provide. Congratulations on your success.
