Generic function to Find Duplicates in Generic List

I've created a new function to Find Duplicates in Generic List similar to Generic function to removeDuplicates from Generic List as well as bool AreValuesUnique.
 public static List<GenericType> FindDuplicates<GenericType>(List<GenericType> inputList)
        {
            Dictionary<GenericType, int> uniqueStore = new Dictionary<GenericType, int>();
            List<GenericType> finalList = new List<GenericType>();
 
            foreach (GenericType currValue in inputList)
            {
                if (uniqueStore.ContainsKey(currValue))
                {
                    finalList.Add(currValue);
                }
                else
                {
                    uniqueStore.Add(currValue, 0);
                }
            }
            return finalList;
        }
     public static bool AreValuesUnique<GenericType>(List<GenericType> inputList)
        {
            foreach (GenericType currValue in inputList)
            {
                if (inputList.IndexOf(currValue) != inputList.LastIndexOf(currValue))
                    return false;
            }
