South Carolina Treasurer’s Office Unveils Spooky List of Unclaimed Funds as Halloween Approaches

COLUMBIA, S.C. — A Spooktacular Surprise Awaits!

As Halloween approaches, it seems that the South Carolina Treasurer’s Office is getting into the spirit of the season in a very unique way! Treasurer Curtis Loftis has shared a list of some delightfully quirky names from people and businesses that have unclaimed money just sitting around. And let’s just say, some of these names are downright spooky!

The Ghastly Lineup!

Among the names released are businesses with fun titles like Death Valley Towing and Zombie Bob’s Pizza. It feels like a Halloween party just with all the mentions of folks with last names like “Blood,” “Bone,” “Skeleton,” and even “Warlock!” How fitting, right?

So what’s this all about? According to the Treasurer’s Office, these individuals and businesses have cash that they have never claimed. This money could be from various sources, such as dormant bank accounts, uncashed checks, unclaimed insurance proceeds, or even forgotten utility deposits. Just imagine opening your mailbox one day to find out you have money waiting for you — that’s a treat, not a trick!

Shocking Statistics!

If you think that’s all there is to it, hold onto your broomsticks! On a statewide scale, the Treasurer’s Office has reported an enormous amount of over $950 million in unclaimed property. Yes, you read that right — nearly a billion dollars! That could potentially mean treasure for thousands of South Carolinians.

How to Check for Your Hidden Haul!

Curious to see if you’re one of the lucky ones? It’s super easy! Just hop online to treasurer.sc.gov and navigate to the Unclaimed Property section. With just a few clicks, you can check if there’s any unclaimed loot with your name on it! Loftis mentioned that many more people who weren’t featured on the Halloween list are probably in the same boat and suggested they take a peek.

Don’t Miss Out!

With spooky names popping up, it’s a great reminder that you could be a step closer to cashing in on some forgotten funds! The state is eager to reunite people with their property. Loftis encourages everyone to spread the word to friends and family — after all, a few extra bucks can feel mighty magical, especially as the holidays approach.

Join the Search!

Don’t let this opportunity ghost you away! If you or someone you know might have unclaimed property, now is the time to act. This Halloween, you don’t just have to indulge in candies and costumes; you could also be in for some pleasant financial surprises! Who knows? Perhaps your name could be next to the ghoulishly good ones that the Treasurer’s Office highlights next year.

So gear up, and take a zesty leap into uncovering your potential fortune! Here’s wishing all of you a hauntingly great Halloween filled with treats and maybe a few unexpected treasures along the way!
