<p>[QUOTE=&quot;VistaCruiser69, post: 26361927, member: 107016&quot;]It all has to do with money.&nbsp; They think that they struck it rich and now their bubble gets popped.&nbsp; Been there, done that.&nbsp; I used to work for a credit union that offered various investment instruments.&nbsp; I can&#039;t count how many times someone&#039;s grandparent, great grandparent, etc. etc. would pass and during the treasure hunt throughout the house they come across an investment statement from 20 - 30 years ago.&nbsp; Between the time they find the document(s) and the time they call me, they&#039;ve already calculated accumulative interest and all.&nbsp; While on the phone with them, I find in our archives that the owner had closed the account(s) years ago.&nbsp; I get a lot of these such callers who get super upset, even go as far as telling me that we are just telling them this so we can then keep the money.&nbsp; I instruct them to write a letter to the company asking for hard copies of all the documents we have showing that the owner(s) closed the account(s)/investment(s) etc. It&#039;s about 50/50 though.&nbsp; Some get upset while others accept it.</p><p><br /></p><p>What I get a lot of is:&nbsp; &quot;Well (so in so) wouldn&#039;t have kept the document(s) in his or her safe/lock box if they weren&#039;t still active/worth money.&quot; Meanwhile I ask what&#039;s the date on the document(s) they have.&nbsp; I get &quot;197X, 198X, and so forth&quot;.&nbsp; I kindly remind them the age of the document(s) they&#039;ve found when trying to reason with them when they are upset with what I&#039;ve got to tell them about the status of the investment(s).</p><p><br /></p><p>But point being, it all boils down to money.&nbsp; When some people get this idea that they&#039;ve got money coming to them, either by estate of a loved one or a coin they came across and their bubble gets popped, they don&#039;t take it so well, in many cases.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
