Hollister, Scott & Hall sent me a letter asking for $30 and $5 to expedite unclaimed funds in my name. Researched that company name in Lakewood, VA and was reported as a scam.
Yup, any time a firm asks for upfront money, it's usually a scam. Thanks for providing this site. Letter is now in the shredder.
I also received a letter from Hollister Scott & Hall. I thought it was a scam because they wanted money upfront. I looked on the internet and discovered it is a scam!
