"Since it is a public record, many private individuals and companies have access to the unclaimed property list. They may contact you and offer to reunite you with your money for a fee, such as a percentage of the recovery. Although this practice is legal, you may be able to recover 100% of your money without any fees if you contact the Unclaimed Property Division .... At no time does the state assume ownership of this unclaimed property. The money is held in trust until the rightful owner or heir comes forward." (taken from the Office of the General Treasurer Unclaimed Property Division Website)

It is worth taking note not to pay fees to someone else when it can be done for FREE. All the States' Unclaimed Property websites are easy to use and have the forms necessary for you to file it yourself.
