If you receive a postcard labeled “Unclaimed Property Notification,” ignore it.
State officials say its a scam.
The postcards have been distributed in multiple states and instruct recipients to call a toll-free number and enter personal identification. A recorded message then instructs callers to search for unclaimed property.
David Gregor, the state’s official in charge of unclaimed property, says the card do not originate with his office or any other in state government.
“Delaware has not sent these cards nor have they been sent on Delaware’s behalf,” Gregor said. “We would never ask an individual to provide personal information to a call-in number, and we would recommend anyone who receives these cards to remain cautious and to not respond in any way.”
The solid blue, yellow, or orange cards have a Denver postmark.
