State Warns Of Identity Scam

David Goodman says scammers are sending emails to Ohioans to try to defraud them, starting with a phony claim that you have three million dollars waiting in your name, in exchange for some personal information.

Ohioans can find out if they have unclaimed funds....and find out how to get them by going to the state's unclaimed funds website. Anyone who receives an email offering them access to unclaimed funds should contact the Ohio Department of Commerce.

If you choose not to access the state on line, you can write to the department at:
Ohio Department of Commerce, Division of Unclaimed Funds, 77 South High Street 20th floor, Columbus, Ohio 43215
