findyourunclaimedproperty.com - scam or legit?

[Hoofy]

I received a _letter_ today in reference to a US company (Genmark Diagnostics Inc) of which I do have "1.000" shares (they bought out Osmetech of which I had some shares).

Apparently, I have unclaimed funds. Just don't want to enter all my contact details into the claim form to find out it's a scam.

Any thoughts?

Anyone?

Looks legitimate:

And warning about non-legit scams here:

And this seems to back it up:

If they ask for a fee it is a scam. Also don't give person info until they have given you an answer that matches to the info you know to be correct.

I believe there is a legal duty for banks/utility companies/fund managers to inform the state of any unclaimed assets when they cannot contact the legal owner.

Ah, thanks. I did google but couldn't find anything. That news article is perfect.

No worries. I obviously meant personal info, not person info!

Cheers and good luck
