Claim unclaimed property using ChatGPT guidance
A user photographed an unclaimed property letter and ChatGPT pointed them to the Florida treasury site to claim it; another says a fiancé claimed and received the money.
Done with a custom-built or unnamed agent
- What they did
- In a comment on the removed Reddit thread, someone said they got a mailed notice from a company offering to file an unclaimed-property claim for a 10% fee. They photographed the letter, sent it to ChatGPT, and ChatGPT told them to check Florida’s treasury site and file the claim themselves; they then submitted the claim without using the company.
- How it went
- They said the claim worked: the fiancé received the money by deposit, it took only a few weeks, and they did not have to jump through any hoops. The thread gives no amount for that specific claim.
- Worth knowing
- The key catch was avoiding the third-party filer’s 10% fee by going directly through Florida’s official unclaimed-property process.
