South Carolina has more than a half-billion dollars in unclaimed money.
Recently, State Treasurer Curtis Loftis called a man to inform him he was the recipient of over $700,000. The man figured it was a scam, and hung up on him.
Loftis called again and suggested he contact his office where the unidentified man discovered he was indeed eligible for $763,000 in unclaimed cash and stock proceeds from his father, who passed away about 15 years ago.
