Found Money
I left over $700 in an online casino for over 3 years
So I get a call tonight. My caller ID says "our of area" but there is a 1-800 # listed.
I pick it up, and it's some guy in a foreign accent (Not British, but possibly Australian, or South African), telling me that he is calling from an online casino, and that I have left $700+ in my account there since 2001.
Starting next January, the casino is going to start levying $30 a month to inactive accounts, and of course, they'd rather have me as a paying customer.
My first thought, is the same as all of yours.
SCAM!!!
I had no memory of this particular online casino, and I certainly didn't think I would leave $700 in it. But I figured, until he said, "well, in order to get this money back to you, we need your social security #, bank account #, and mother's maiden name," I would listen.
He never did ask for any personal information. In fact, he had all of my personal info. Also, the phone number on the caller ID, matched the phone number for customer service on their website. And after logging in, I think this casino looks familiar after all.
And hey, after logging in, my account says $705!! Awesome.
I quickly made a withdrawl of $200 to my netteller account (just to test to see if it works). Of course, there is a 24 hour delay before they process it, and who knows how long before netteller gets it. Once it does, I will transfer most of the remaining balance.
Why not all?
Well, hey, they have a poker room now, which is probably full of fish, so I may go transfer some money there.
And with such great customer service, maybe I should reward them with some play.
It's "found" money, no?
