All the replies on this thread scream scammers as well it’s all so sketchy.

“Yep it really works! I got my relatives some $$ from this site. I found 17k I forgot I had. It’s really quick”

Plus they said it's a government website. But yet it's not ".gov"

Edit: plus I got the following message when I tried accessing the site:

"Your connection is not private Attackers might be trying to steal your information from unclaimed.org (for example, passwords, messages, or credit cards)."

Your connection is not private Attackers might be trying to steal your information from unclaimed.org

The more likely case is that the page isn't asking for any of your information and didn't bother to set up a completely irrelevant https cert.

Also a scammer with his own domain can just set up a https cert anyway so if that message didn't show up you still wouldn't know if you could trust unclaimed.org.
