Unclaimed money
Cold caller scam
We have recently been advised of a possible unclaimed money scam whereby a member of the public is contacted by a caller advising that they are employed by the NSW Treasury. The caller states that the Treasury is holding a sum of money eg $4500 from an uncashed bank cheque which will be paid once the person has paid a fee at their local post office. Please do not respond to cold caller contacts especially where there are requests for personal details and/or payment of fees or charges.
There are no charges or fees when applying directly to OSR for claiming unclaimed money listed on our website.
