Is it aimed at financial simpletons like me? Anybody here checked - or refused to check for whatever reason? It sure is tempting, for most (?), to check ASAP, but I waited years to do so.
Where and why is this even a thing? When and how did it all start? Do other New England states air such ads, or any state for that matter?

It's free to check, and I don't recall being pestered with ads on the site or even being contacted by mail or e-mail just by my investigating my name. But the ad always exclaims to "check again!" So yes, I finally checked, last year, if my "name" was listed on the site, and it wasn't. But maybe it's been stopped, who knows? But the radio ads still air, but maybe the print ads have been permanently discontinued. This seemed to occur every few months in recent years. What a waste of paper! Well, unless the newspaper buyers are actually using the insert. But that could just be my imagination, and maybe it does air year round.Īlso, at least until recently, I'd occasionally find a thick insert in The Boston Globe, and maybe The Boston Herald in the Sunday edition, and maybe The Patriot Ledger weekend edition from the South Shore.
The ad seems to air in spurts, then I don't hear it for awhile. The radio personality, often a popular personality from that local station or ex-local retired jock (Billy Costa of Kiss 108 fm, or a 98.5 Sports Hub personality, perhaps) informs listeners how they checked - and of course found lost money, "and you could, too!" In case anyone here is somehow unaware, it urges listeners to check the site for "forgotten bank accounts" and such. Maybe it's only the commercial stations, and not college stations or NPR stations? For several years now, I've heard the popular "Find Mass " radio ad, on many stations in the Boston area.
