A recent article on the web site of ABC affiliate WBAY restated the problem with returning Wisconsin unclaimed money to it’s proper owners – people still believe it’s a scam!

“A lot of people still think it’s a scam, ‘Oh, they’re going to arrest me.’ I’m assuring people that it’s not a scam and we’re not going to arrest anyone, and we just have something that belongs to them that we would like to give back,” Sass said.

It’s hard to believe that even today, after many years of credible folks, even Oprah Winfrey, explaining to the public that there truly are BILLIONS in unclaimed money across the country, just waiting to be claimed by average citizens.

According to the Wisconsin State Treasure’s Office, the state of WI is currently holding $281 million. That’s right, over a quarter of a BILLION in lost assets, in the state of Wisconsin.

There’s even $4.6 million in unclaimed property in Brown County, WI alone!

There’s $4.6 million in unclaimed property in Brown County, and the state treasurer was in Green Bay Friday trying to give it back to its rightful owners.

Are you due a pile of Wisconsin found money, like some people?

According to Sass, one of the biggest claims her office handled was for $750,000 in unclaimed property.

I’m tempted to make an obvious joke about folks from Wisconsin trying to get their cheese… but I won’t. Instead I’ll just encourage you to get started doing a thorough Wisconsin unclaimed money search.
