TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) -- State Treasurer Dennis McKinney is telling Kansans to beware of a Web site that asks them to pay money for help in retrieving unclaimed cash or property.

The site, www.cashunclaimed.com, is not sponsored or endorsed by the treasurer's office.

McKinney says the treasurer's office has its own sites set up for people wanting to search for unclaimed property held by the state: www.KansasCash.com and www.kansasstatetreasurer.com.

Each year, about $20 million worth of unclaimed property is turned over to the treasurer's office from banks, businesses and organizations. Currently, there is more than $200 million of unclaimed property being held by the treasurer's office for Kansans.

The treasurer's office says claiming and searching unclaimed property is "absolutely free."
