As Halloween draws near, it’s not just ghosts and goblins taking the spotlight in Columbia, S.C.! This week, the South Carolina Treasurer’s Office released a rather unique list that sent shivers down spines – and not just from Halloween scares. Treasurer Curtis Loftis revealed the names of individuals and businesses with some pretty ‘spooky’ names who have unclaimed money waiting to be claimed. Think Death Valley Towing and Zombie Bob’s Pizza! Spooky, right?
Loftis mentioned how much money is lurking out there, stating that the total unclaimed property in the state exceeds $950 million. You might be wondering what exactly qualifies as unclaimed property. Well, it includes a variety of items such as dormant bank accounts, uncashed checks, forgotten utility deposits, and even unclaimed insurance proceeds. With such a treasure trove available, it’s no wonder Loftis wants residents to know that they may have cash just waiting for them!
Alongside the quirky names like Blood, Bone, Skeleton, and Warlock, there are many more who might just have some cash waiting. Can you imagine? The eerie excitement of possibly claiming money from Death Valley Towing could make you feel like you just struck gold! The Treasurer’s Office encourages everyone to check if they are entitled to any of this money, not only the individuals who made it onto the Halloween-themed list.
Getting started on your quest for unclaimed property is straightforward and spooky-free! You can visit treasurer.sc.gov and click on the Unclaimed Property section. It’s an online treasure hunt that could lead you to a surprising find. Loftis emphasized, “There are far more people who weren’t highlighted on my Halloween list, and they should take a look!”
Just in time for the Halloween festivities, Loftis and his team aim to remind everyone that cash may be just a click away. If you didn’t see your name or a business you know, don’t fret! It’s always a good idea to double-check and see if there’s any hidden treasure waiting for you in the form of unclaimed property.
As Halloween approaches, this quirky announcement adds a fun twist to the usual celebrations. Who knew that instead of trick-or-treating, you could be checking for unclaimed money? While you enjoy your spooky costumes and festive treats, why not make this a part of your holiday tradition? Gather your friends and family and explore the potential wealth hidden in plain sight.
So, whether you have a penchant for the creepy, the kooky, or the downright peculiar, don’t let these spooky names get all the fun. Check out the state’s Treasurer’s website, and you might just discover a bit of cash that belongs to you! Everyone loves a surprise, especially when it puts some extra jingle in your pocket.
Happy Halloween! And here’s to hoping that each of you finds a sweet surprise among the unclaimed properties this spooky season!
