Filing a fraudulent claim for another person's unclaimed property without consent carries a civil penalty equal to the total value of the property claimed

Filing claims with non-compliant agreements incurs penalties of the property value plus $1,000 (for property ≤$15,000) or plus $2,500 (for property >$15,000)

Fraudulent unclaimed property claims constitute a Class I felony, with violators subject to prosecution costs

The attorney general may prosecute or assist district attorneys in fraudulent claim cases upon request from the administrator

Names, addresses, and penalty amounts of violators must be posted on the administrator's website for at least 12 months after appeal rights expire
