OK... This is NOT a scam. Every state has unclaimed property awaiting claim by owners or their rightful descendants. What is unclaimed property? Examples include forgotten utility deposits, life insurance payouts, health insurance reimbursements for overpayments, and contents of safe deposit boxes.
When my parents died I checked with the appropriate authorities in New York state. After filling out a couple forms, I received a few hundred dollars (related to health insurance claims that were overpaid).
For Utah, visit; mycash.utah.gov or call 801-715-3300.

Abandoned property and unclaimed funds
An extension publication on unclaimed property (funds) prompted me, as executor of my parents' estate, to conduct a search for money that might be owed my parents who had resided in New York State. It was easy to use the state's website and, sure enough, both my parents' names showed up as being owed money from health insurance companies when they were in assisted living. It took awhile and required getting some forms notarized but today a check for $163.74 showed up in the mail, courtesy of the State of New York. So, check out your state's unclaimed funds website. A good place to start is the website for the National Association of Unclaimed Funds Administrators website: https://www.unclaimed.org/ which allows a free multi-state search. Never pay for this service. You can easily do it yourself and you might be pleasantly surprised.
