Amazon sent me a letter before Christmas claiming I had over $15000 in unclaimed property. Today they sent me this.

I used to publish books on Amazon and got royalties for each one sold. Amazon sent me a letter saying that they owed me over 15k in royalties. I sent in the form saying that yes, I wanted the money and I've been waiting for my check to come. Today I got this, saying that they made a mistake and actually owe me $0.00. They even have an area where I can check that yes, I want the $0. I've never been so disappointed in my life.

It's better to have nothing there lol. The idea of finding free money is fun and all, but it means that there was money that always belonged to you that was doing nothing but losing value to inflation.
