Find unclaimed money and check claim notarization rules
A user searched for missing money, found over $5k, and used AI guidance on Oregon's notarization requirement for claims over $2,000. ·
Done with a custom-built or unnamed agent
- What they did
- The poster searched a state unclaimed-property site, found a claim worth over $5,000, and then told others to check their names too. In comments, they said Oregon sent a document that had to be notarized, and before that they had asked AI about the process; the AI told them Oregon only requires that notarized paperwork for claims over $2,000, which they did not independently verify.
- How it went
- The poster says the search turned up more than $5,000 for them, and a friend they prompted found $190. They also tallied about $1,623 other commenters said they had found after seeing the post, but the source does not say the poster had completed or been paid on the $5,000 claim yet.
- Worth knowing
- Useful catch: the poster says Oregon required notarization paperwork for their claim, and the AI guidance they relied on was unverified.
