Absolutely not, never. I was contacted by mail on re: amount held by an insurance company. I contacted TX State Comptroller office who held funds directly instead of using mymoneymonitor.com. Before the transaction was completed mymoneymonitor.com attempted to collect 10% of amount they stated that was due. Name was incorrect, amount incorrect. They also stated that I made an agreement using an e-signature. They provided a document with a signature that is rarely used except in rare and extreme legal cases. I attempted to call them several times but they threatened me stating they have an IP address and they would send this to a collection agency along with putting it on my credit history. Maria Muralles said that the amount they were attempting to collect was incorrect that there was a variance due to fees and taxes. The TX Comptroller Office stated they are fully aware of this companies use of attempting to strong arm people into paying fees that are not due them. read more

I received a letter from www.mymoneymonitor.com that said I had money owed to me by Paypal, which I thought was odd and maybe a scam but apparently there is a lot of unclaimed money out there which goes to a Government account until claimed. MyMoneyMonitor wanted to charge me 20% to pay me the money, I did some internet research to see if MyMoneyMonitor was legit and several blogs said that I could get the money directly with out any fees by going to http://www.unclaimed.org/ , and did so and sure enough I can get 100% of my money with out any additional fees!!! Apparently My Money Monitor makes their money by making people aware that they have this money pending, however as part of their "service" they charge you a 20% fee, which is a bit of a ripoff since you can get 100% of your money yourself. read more

They sent me a letter telling me I have unclaimed money. So thank you for that! I went to unclaimed.org to claim the money, and luckily I was able to find other unclaimed money as well. I would not have known about the unclaimed money if I hadn't gotten this letter. I DID NOT USE MYMONEYMONITOR'S SERVICE, SINCE THEY CHARGE A FEE. unclaimed.org is free. and much faster. read more

The State Controller's website advises people to NOT work with these companies, because they can access the funds for free (and verify that its not a fraudulent request). Unclaimed.org is a great resource, and the following link is where this company-type is all but forbidden: https://ucpi.sco.ca.gov/UCP/Default.aspx Get ALL of your money... don't sign a contract providing this sketch company 20%. P.S. They need your full SS# ON PAPER, mailed to them, in order to get your funds. If you're using this service, you already aren't a savvy Yelp! member anyhow :P read more

Are you kidding me with this company?? My state's website is already managing my money claim... for free. This My Money Monitor thing is completely BOGUS. DO NOT SIGN THEIR FORM!!!!! They want 10% of MY money for telling me that I have money...AFTER I already submitted a claim for it. So, you're telling me something I already know, and trying to charge me for it. Please. They used my maiden name AND spelled my street name wrong. Like, if you're going to scam me, at least do your research and spell check your docs. I hope you go out of business. read more

I get that you can check this stuff online and get it all done for free. But for me, i have nooooo idea that this kind of thing exists and I also had nooooo idea that anyone owed me money. if it wasn't for these fools trying to hit me up for some % i would actually never know I had money owed to me. ( i think, i'm kind of an idiot when it comes to legal issues and finances and i have this feeling I'm not the only one. ;) so, 3 stars bc i got over a grand back what seems now like out of nowhere. read more

1 star for trying to make fees from unclaimed properties! but thanks to these clowns my gf and i found some unexpected money from unclaimed.org :) read more

Received a letter this morning stating I had unclaimed money and I generally just throw it out but saw some PI investigator license numbers and state of FL # and so forth so decided to pursue it a bit more. Off the top this company wanted to take 20% of this unclaimed money but in order to do so required me to submit personal information and sign a power of attorney to them. I think not!!! So went to unclaimed.org found my state, checked for a valid claim and found the money. Filled out the information directly with the state, no fees, and just submitted it for processing all of which took me 5-10 minutes. So I will get 100% of my money, submit my proof legitimately without the need to provide my personal information to some company all the way out in California who I never heard of and all for 10 minutes of work. Just another one of those get rich scams out there that pry on people not having time, not knowing where to look, or just really desperate for the claim money fast. I you see letters in the mail of such nature always look and see if it is legit and if you can claim it yourself. read more

Scam, scam, scam. I checked the money finding service websites and there is nothing listed for me. They're looking to fish for your information. Steer clear of this. read more

This company finds unclaimed money and alerts the claimant requesting (obviously not obligating anyone to pay it) a 10% 'finder's fee' from the moneys found. So initially I posted a review here of this company because of a dispute I had with them. Basically there was some kind of hiccup in the mail system. I decided to pursue the claim myself because I wasn't getting contact through the mail that I was supposed to from the company. I can't say I was terribly impressed with the claims representative who contacted me, but in retrospect I also can't blame them for their relatively callous disposition. Now, what I can say is I'm terribly impressed with the company as a whole. Our particular email correspondence was seen by the company and one of their higher ups gave me a call. They waved their fee due to the hiccup between my end and theirs, they also explained what it is they do and why they ask for the fee. They wanted to do this because they knew I was very unhappy with where things were going, and I can certainly appreciate that.... So I removed my original review to put up this one. Any company that puts Consumer Service and satisfaction first is a five star company in my book. read more

Yup- NO stars. That's because they sent us a letter telling us there was unclaimed $$$ waiting for us- all we needed to do was fill out a very official looking paper and provide them with our social security number.... rrrriiiiiiggghhht. When I told them I had checked on the State Controller's site- and there were no unclaimed funds- they were SHOCKED. They said it still shows that we are owed money- and to give them a call. What a bunch of scammers. DO NOT sign, fill out or send these jokers anything. They are looking to steal your identity. If you do want to see if you are due money- go to the State Controller's office- Betty T Yee-. Here is the website: https://ucpi.sco.ca.gov. DO NOT SIGN OR SEND THESE CRIMINALS A THING ( I had to give them one star to post this) read more

This business is a scam. They sent me a very misleading letter informing me that I had unclaimed money that had been deposited with a mysterious "third party" holding account. The mystery party is the CA State Controller's Office, which holds unclaimed funds and will send them to the owner for FREE without any help from an unrelated business. If you want to search and receive your own unclaimed funds, at least in CA (or if you've lived in CA), go HERE: http://www.sco.ca.gov/upd_msg.html. It's legit and costs you nothing. read more

1 STAR BECAUSE MYMONEYMONITOR LET ME KNOW THAT THERE WAS INCLAIMED $$- I DID NOT USE MYMONEYMONITOR - I got this letter from MyMoneyMonitor and went to CA State Controller website and they will send me the money. Hang on to your MyMoneyMonitor letter bc Ca Controllers's office will want the claim id#. Ca Controllers'a office wouldn't of giving me the $ without the ID- shady!!! In fact, they only had $3.75 of money lost and it seemed as though they were reluctant to discuss the amount that MyMoneyMonitor said I was owed ... Geez, who can you trust!!? I didn't do business with MyMoneyMonitor but I'm glad I got their letter! read more

Woohoo - WITH QUALIFIERS. I received their letter concerning my lost property and that they wanted 10% of the claim to try to recover it for me... Thanks for letting me know!! I went to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for unclaimed property https://abpweb.tre.state.ma.us/ucp/home/search and submitted the request for recovery with NO fee!! Thanks for saving me 10%!! read more

Story time: a few years ago I went to findmassmoney.com (free government agency) and saw that I had money waiting for me. They sent me the paperwork and I just never got around to filing it. Fast forward to January of this year, my money monitor sent me a notice of that same money. I saw the 10% they were asking for and immediately went back to findmassmoney.com. The money wasn't there. So I said eff it and just filled out the form for my money monitor. If they had just taken the 10% I wouldn't have said anything, but I got the whole check, and now they're calling me asking to pay their finders fee. Sorry, not happening. I knew the money was out there, and I didn't ask you to go looking for it. That's like someone coming into my house, cleaning it, and then demanding I pay up. My money monitor, please feel free to report me to your claims department. You won't see a dime out of me. If they were legitimate business, they would've gotten their cut beforehand. read more

I thought this was a scam at first. It's not, but they charge a fee and ask for too much identification. You can get your money by going to unclaimed.org. You don't have to pay a fee. read more

If I could give no stars, I would. My elderly mother received a letter stating that she had unclaimed money, which was true. But they asked for a substantial finders fee and attached was a "Limited Power of Attorney" form, asking for SSN and copy of photo ID!! What?? Just go to your state's unclaimed property website or usa.gov/unclaimed-money. read more

No one found it weird that they were asking for a copy of your current driver's license, and social security card!?

FRAUD ALERT! I received a letter from MyMoneyMonitor saying they had found $890.48 that Wells Fargo of Oakland CA had transferred into a third party trust account. All I had to do was send them back their form all notorized and including a copy of my DL, State ID, or Passport, AND a copy of my Social Security card or other document verifying my SS #. How stupid do they think I am?!?! They were saying these funds were being held by the State of California, but I have never lived or done business in CA. In fact I have always tried to stay as far away from California as possible except for the time, at the age of 8 years old, my parents forced me against my will to go with them to Disney Land! So I find this very funny. I then checked my home State and California's State government websites where you can easily search for any "unclaimed" assets being held and found, just as I had thought, that I did not have any unclaimed assets. MyMoneyMonitor's letter had a pretty good looking letter and form for me to fill out, which might be convincing to a complete moron. Take my advice and just contact your State government. they have very good resources for checking for unclaimed assets and they won't charge you 10% to 20% to retrieve it for you! read more

MyMoneyMonitor sent me a letter about some funds that I had owed to me. At first I thought it was a scam but upon further review I realized it wasn't. The money was being held by a government agency. I checked it out and after a bit of research I think I could have done it on my own but I called their reps and they told me that the expensive part is actually the investigation of tracking the people down and connecting it to their claim. True I realized it must be tricky to link me who they know nothing about to some place I lived years ago! They also told me that they don;t attempt to locate someone unless it has been sitting uncollected for at least 3 years. Plus I also found out the agency holding the funds has been keeping my interest and a portion gets turned over to the general fund if I never come forward. Dude I am stoked they tracked me down and have no problem paying them their fee, better than letting the government keep my money. Makes sense to me, I am glad they spent the money to track me down! The money was being held by the county tax assessor FYI. Thank you mymoneymonitor! Their website is www.mmmclaims.com and totally legit and worth it! read more

Their web site's online payment option hasn't worked in months and I was turned over to collections within sixty days of receiving payment. Do yourself a favorite and go to your State's comptroller's website. You will find the same uncollected money information that they scanned and sent you a notice about. Definitely not worth the 10% they charge. read more

First off, the way they go about this is all wrong. At first I thought it was a scam (and maybe they do use your information to steal your identity) so I googles their name and that's how I ended up here. Why I gave them three stars, and maybe some of you others that left 1 star should change it, but I had NO CLUE that I had money waiting for me. What this company did do for me was bring to my attention that I had money. Now I do agree, and if I checked the government site and there wasn't unclaimed funds, then I would give them a one star, but there was, and I would of never of known about it. As some guidance to your business approach MyMoneyMonitor, there are good people out there and I would of without a doubt sent you 10% for letting me know that this was available to them. I know there are lost of #%$^ heads out there and they won't send you 10%, but my god asking people for their drivers license, SS number, w-2, tax forms, why not just say "hey, if my company is crooked, we are going to steal every dime you have". I could be wrong as there are tons of idiots out there, but I doubt many people send in those forms. Approach it from an honest businessman's approach, and just inform people they have money available and say something like "we work hard to inform people of money they have available, and we want to continue helping so if you find that we helped you out and would like us to be able to continue helping others, please send 10% (or a dollar amount) so we can continue our hard work helping others". You may be surprised how many people do. Set up a web page they can go to and have donation buttons with different money amounts. This BS you send out, who in their right mind would send in that information! Good luck and thanks for informing me I had funds available. read more
