I dealt with this company a while back. The typical phone call telling me I had a few thousand stashed away somewhere and all I needed to get it was to sign over a percentage of the cash to them if they retrieved it for me.
Tried to get more information about where it was, or what it was related to, but they wouldn't budge. Kept trying to pry some info out of them, to make sure I wasn't being scammed (they asked for key proofs of identity...big red flag if you ask me) and eventually they got less and less warm. In the end, I told them to stop contacting me and, lo and behold, a week later I get an email from a local bank I used to use when I lived in QLD, telling me to activate or access an old account before it gets automatically closed. Turns out my old job had paid for some work I'd done a while ago. Change of physical address and the funny spam settings on my email meant I didn't even know it was there. Anyways, got my money all on my own, but it goes to show. They were trying to sell me my own cash for a 20% kickback, hoping to get to me before the bank could, Real classy (sarcasm...)
Summary: Money Catch probably isn't worth the bother. I'm just lucky I don't like giving people my personal details (i.e. enough proof of identity to access one of my forgotten bank accounts...). Would've cost me almost a thousand just for them to use my authority to recover my own money in order to give it back to me minus their 20% cut!
I just wanted to alert the public to this shady business Money Catch. I've never been so angry at the dirty play of an Australian business. so I will try to keep this short and stick to the core essentials:)
My best friend owns and runs an unclaimed money agency, he has nothing good to say about Money Catch and actually had a few clients who came to him after dealing with Money Catch! Apparently, it took ages to get these people to stop fuming about the way they were treated by the staff.
For tragic reasons that I am about to make clear, I won't provide the name of his company (as much as I personally would like to help him with the positive word of mouth, he's that concerned about the owner of Money Catch as a person and as a dirty player!).
Apparently, the owner of Money Catch actually manages several other websites that claim to be impartial certifiers in the industry, rating other agencies and ranking them against one another based on an obscure set of criteria that is loaded in Money Catch's favor.
I'll provide the link to one of them to make my point abundantly clear;
(http://www.unclaimedmoneyagentslicencecheck.world)
On this website, most EVERY OTHER AGENCY has received zero star rating...except, coincidentally, Money Catch, which has received a whole five stars based on absolutely unverifiable facts! Yes, you have heard it right.
Naturally, imagine what this is doing to other unclaimed money businesses managed by people who DON'T immediately think that killing the competition is the way to succeed! It's actual sabotage and borderline defamation! (I work in Copyright Law, so naturally, I was outraged and gunning for a fight!) But get this; my friend is THAT afraid that Money Catch will go after him and his business that he literally WON'T fight her.
He doesn't have the resources and he has kids to support, so all he can do is suck it up and watch as Money Catch attacks other agencies (legally and illegally) while masquerading behind fake ranking websites owned and operated by the same person who operates Money Catch! The whole thing is a scam and I can't stand it (this is all coming from someone who begged me not to get angry and risk putting him on their radar...so I'll sure as hell do what I can without getting him into trouble.
I am calling on All unclaimed money agents to take to the internet and to tell their story about this predatory unethical business ' Moneycatch'. Let us all start posting as Agents against MoneyCatch adding our initials only- so this shark is exposed.
Money Catch is a dirty business made up of fake reviews (bought and paid for by the owner), fake rankings (made by, bought and edited by the owner) and illegally slandering. What's even worse, is that the fact that Money Catch has set up these rankings sites prevents other legitimate agencies from earning a decent living and it allows her to keep on lying, overcharging her customers and pressuring naive clients so she can keep on ripping them off I think its disgusting that a company has to bully, scam and cheat their way to the top rather than stand on the merits.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer's satisfaction.
Here Here! Thank you.
Apparently the owners of said business are both Justice of the Peace.
The first rule of Conduct and Integrity of the NSW Code of Conduct for Justices of the Peace states:
1) A justice of the peace must not engage in dishonest activities or conduct himself or herself in such a way as to bring the the office of justice of the peace into disrepute.
Money Catch does not engage in dishonest activities.
Hi Nancy,
I had similar experience with them, I am sad that i have been fooled easily by there nasty operators .
Archer Flynn has never been a client of ours and has been spending all his working day hours defaming our company and staff. His profile has been linked to a number of profiles of all the same people, trolling companies.

Can you guess which one gets stars? Money catch's of course; Its the ONLY Unclaimed Money Recovery service that gets ANY stars (and 5 stars at that!

Money catch ’s owner thinks it is clever to have used the .world domain as a private domain to hide her ownership of unclaimedmoneyagentslicencecheck.world - when the records to the defamatory domain are being subpoenaed for group action. Please share this on social media and with anyone of concern.
Thanks for posting this info. she is a big time scammer, I saw other day there were negative reviews on trust pilot and now she has started advertising with them and they have removed those negative reviews. I mean wtf, so disgraceful.
Trust pilot are scammers themselves, she is a criminal - what do ya think, she paid them off to remove any customer reviews. the funny thing is only the negative reviews are true. all the positive ones are put up by money catch's weirdo owner. how pathetic is this woman, how desperate and twisted do you have to be to go to that length in order to rip people off.
What a [censored] resolution statement! Complaintsboard gets paid for this, supporting a scam business.
Read the reviews and comments below. These are dangerous people who are only interested in ripping you off.
Atellite55 ( a reviewer of Money Catch) worded it PERFECTLY when the said;
Money catch is a a rip off criminal business, run by a mentally twisted woman. She creates fake reviews full of positive information about their scam business, fake websites to defame her competitors. She rips off people, she thinks she is doing good thing. Giving people their OWN MONEY AND THEN TAKING 20% OF IT CALLING THAT A SERVICE. ITS A SCAM. People are complaining all over the internet and all you say " these comment are by trolls" No one believes her lies. Money catch owner bribes websites in order to get her customers negative reviews off the websites. Money catch will rip you off and steal your ID selling it on the black market. There are numerous report of this. Google Money catch reviews or money catch complaints and look at the bottom of the page the removals notices, look at the URLs this woman gets removed. You can read the articles on the original websites. Then ask yourself can you trust them with the proof that they rip people off and do everything in their power to supress it. Here is a great idea stop doing that dirty work. Get a real JOB you parasite!
Money Catch Is a SCAM. Please don't allow this type of business to exist in my country. I got contacted and harassed by this company. Complaints Board pls be fair and take action. Don't be afraid. I am just compiling for all my evidence (tap phone calls, messages, threats etc.) As per my lawyer's advice.
https://moneycatch.com.au/unclaimed-money/security-at-money-catch/ Deanna why your location is armed and under surveillance? I'm just curious are you hiding for something? of course, you are, after seeing a lot of hate person in this thread, you better have that. It doesn't matter even your location is armed, wired or whatever. If there is an arrest warrant you can't do anything unless you have an underground escape plan which criminals do for their plan B. I'm sure you have it.
