I wonder how many people will fall

for the NNA's latest flier to become a signing agent.

*Start a new career!
*Earm $50....$80....as much as $125.00 per signing and more!
*we'll teach you everything you need to know!
*There are plenty of opportunities in your area!

Jeez and it's only $199.00.... Guess we'll be seeing a lot more newbies soon asking for the world on a silver platter!

And if they teach them everything they need to know then why do we get so many newbie basic questions?
oh - I know! they teach them to ask here

Truths and lies

Yes, you can make $50, $80, and even $125 per signing. That's true. Sure: do three or four a day, and you will be making lots of money.

What if you do one a week? What if they don't pay you? What if you do a couple a month?

Flat out lie: There are NOT plenty of opportunities in your area. Every experienced notary with good contacts is sitting home waiting for someone to qualify for a loan.

NNA needs people to pay $199 per person so they can stay in business.

P.S. I wonder how many SS on their list that they hand out has closed their doors.

Just got mine, too...

You are so right about another coming infusion of newbies!! The part that gets me is where they say "Changes in the lending industry have created an urgent need for NNA Certified and Background Screened Notary Signing Agents", but they forgot to add the part where it says "...who will work for less than $50 per signing".

Get ready, folks. Between now and the end of the year, they have 12 more classes scheduled, just in California. But then, according to them, they are "the *only* nationally accredited Notary education provider". Accredited by whom? And what is Harry or TSR or...? Chopped Liver?? [Be sure to read with the appropriate inflection...! ] I wish there was some way to get off their mailing list. I haven't been a member for some time. But I imagine every commissioned notary in California is getting one of these little gems.

I am now going to follow my own advice and put this out of my mind!

What we should be doing is encouraging the unsuspecting victims to file a complaint. A number of Ripoff Report complaints from these poor folks who have parted with a couple of hundred to learn a business--and then find out there is no business-- might prevent others from falling for the same line. By the time they get to us, it's too late.

Re:Many will fall victim to this, unfortunately

well, I believe we can't stop the NNA from doing what they do. They are a sad bunch pushing out notary signing agents like they are much needed like teachers or nurses.
