It may be hard to believe, but people regularly forget about deposits, property they owned or overlook funds that they should have inherited. This actually happens more often than you might think. In fact, there are billions of dollars in unclaimed assets in locations throughout the United States. We performed a simple search on your email address (bobdancerlasvegas@yahoo.com), and quickly discovered that you have unclaimed assets. Please take a closer look by following the link below and hopefully you can regain control of your missing valuable property that is rightfully yours.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Reclaim Your Money Now<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Thank you!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n This looked tempting. After all, I did collect quite a bit of unclaimed property recently and wrote about it in this column. But this looked fishy. All they had was my email address (pretty easy to get), and if I clicked on the blue link, I\u2019m pretty sure they would have asked for my full name, address, birthday, Social Security Number, etc. Maybe my bank account routing number so they could transfer funds to me. (Ha! Fat chance!) I don\u2019t know this for sure because I never clicked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I \u201cwoke up\u201d before I clicked on the link and deleted the email. No harm done. If I had additional unclaimed property coming (and I\u2019ve checked in every state where I have ever lived), it wouldn\u2019t be under my email address. It would be under my legal name (which, as you probably know, isn\u2019t Bob Dancer.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019re all used to appeals from the exiled prince in Nigeria or wherever, but this was a new one. At least to me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n They say it\u2019s easier to cheat a greedy person. And the promise of \u201cfree money\u201d can certainly increase one\u2019s greed momentarily. After all, who would want to miss out on money that is rightfully theirs?<\/p>\n\n\n\n I may have missed out on a windfall here, but I\u2019ll take that chance. I more likely avoided an identity theft problem — which is the far greater concern to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Most people, I assume, upon reflection will agree that this is probably a scam. And properly avoid it by deleting it. But it\u2019s easier to avoid if you\u2019ve heard about it beforehand. Which is why I\u2019m posting this.<\/p>\n Here was the email: Hi Bob,\u00a0 It may be hard to believe, but people regularly forget about deposits, property they owned or overlook funds that they should have inherited.
