Victim Location 44147
Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order
I received a check awhile back in the amount of $180.00 from a bank and address I did not recognize. I took it to my local bank to ask them if it was from a legitimate, reliable source. They told me it quite possibly was a scam since they could not find confirmation. I just now received a letter telling me I have "Unclaimed Property" with "Esheat ID: 137216" in the amount of $180.00. The funds will be transferred to the state of Ohio if I do not fill out the information on the letter and return it within 45 days. The info they are requesting is my name, address, signature, date of birth, SSN, phone and email.
They also note in the letter that they "reserve the right to require further proof of identification"
The perfect info needed for identity theft! Please be aware!
