"We do not charge you for the work that you do." What!!???
This is an actual excerpt cut-and-pasted from an email message I received earlier this evening from [e-mail address]: "We do not charge you for the work that you do."
Am I missing something here? Has the world turned upside down? Has our industry gotten so insane that this is actually a selling point??!! Since when do people PAY to work? I always thought we work to get paid... Silly me!
Sorry... couldn't help myself. ;>

I got the same email a couple days ago. "We had a signing in your area you missed. You could have made $180. or more... then it said the same thing you got. I wondered if I was
reading that right or not.

There's a difference bet advtsing & providing full info
My post was intended to merely provide full information as to the email and who it is coming from, and I assumed that readers here would take it in the spirit it was meant - informational only. Surely you did not intend to accuse me of shilling for the perpetrators of that email, did you, Susan??????

Poor folks, they were snowed under...
I got that one too. Apparently they had an avalanche of mid-month signings in every county of the nation and nobody to do them.
If they would just picked up the phone and called me I could have helped them out in my little corner of the world.
If nobody took that job and they call tommorow I'll charge 'em double.

BS - there was no $180 job....
I got the same email and I have a free listing. Just a marketing ploy.

S'now job? Shocking! Justhocking, I say. BTW, Joan,
have you gotten any business from your listing that you know of? Just curious.
I've got this urge to send them an email: "There was a great Notary in your area, but you missed him..."
Cheers!

Re: S'now job? Shocking! Justhocking, I say. BTW, Joan,
No, I haven't gotten and jobs and I wouldn't take them. Any "business" relationship we could have had has been ruined by the fact I get constant marketing emails from them despite asking them to stop.
