    Default State of CO Unclaimed Property/Money site

    Saw a commercial at work w/ the State Treasurer in it talking about the "Great CO Payback". Checked out the site: https://colorado.findyourunclaimedpr...p/claim-search

    Nothing for myself or my wife, but so far I've gotten confirmed hits on sis in law, some friends, and friends' relatives.

    Pretty neat.

    You can search by just last name, too. Handy for those of you not named "Smith".

    I've got a hit for a small refund but they want enough for a good amount of identity theft. Can anyone verify this is a legit place being a .com not a .gov?

    I got back a little over $1900 about 2 years ago. The irony is it was money I had already paid to the state for sales tax in 2007, showed the DOR guy the cancelled check and bank statements proving I had already paid, but was forced to pay it a second time because the asshole didn't wanna listen to reason.

    Took 9 years to get it back...with no interest and I couldn't charge the state all sorts of ridiculous penalties, either.

    I'm happy I got it back thru the "payback" website but it should've never been taken from me in the first place. So it does work. Be prepared for a long wait, though. Took about 4 months.

    ETA: It's definitely legit.

    I called to see the status and they told me it takes 120 days or something ridiculous.

    I'd rather wait 120 days and get it back, than not get it back at all. Especially if I didn't even know it was out there.

    BG's case is a little different though. He is rightfully due interest, IMHO.

    They also can't check status for you. Agreed it's better to get money back then not at all.

    I will gladly wait 120 days for anyone's money, if they do not wish to wait.

    While my name's not extremely common, there's several hits, but not for my address. I guess it would have to be for a current or former address?

    Unsure on how that works. If you believe it to be you, file the claim I suppose and let them tell you no.

    Cool. Apparently, Google owes me $52.70. Probably from ads on one of my old web sites. I'll take it.
