What would result in me having something on this site?

There could be several reasons.

I had money on here a few years ago from a bank account I had when I was in college in Philadelphia. I closed the account, and I guess they attempted to mail me my remaining balance, but I had moved.

My daughter’s dad has some on there right now that are credits from Game Stop and also some refund money from a community college and a leftover paycheck from one of his old jobs.

One of my coworkers found out after I told him about the site that he had a couple thousand dollars from a relative that passed away.

Pro-rated refunds from insurance or utilities, or final interest payments on bank accounts, stuff like that. Usually caused by changing providers of various things when moving.

Oh that’s neat. I wonder why this stuff just isn’t sent as a check in the mail.

It is…. But not everybody leaves their forwarding address when they move, and some types of mail cannot be forwarded, so it get returned to sender.

I used to get paid from Google Adsense, I guess I had a straggler check that never made it to me, probably because I moved
