2 replies | Hope everyone stays safe! AT&T is dead around here | By  Cheryl Elliott on 10/16/26 9:52am
No texting or phone service here for at least 24 hours. It's going to be an interesting day who need texting and calling for work. It's actually been a very interesting month. My 2016 Honda Pilot went into the metal pile at a salvage yard somewhere in the LA area. I was in a rollover when another vehicle came racing into our canyon and caused another vehicle to go into a creek and caused me to try to avoid going into the creek with him, on top of him. Pretty scary. My nephew and I crawled out uninjured, but am I bruised and aching. Seven emergency vehicles and CalStar helicopter showed up. We opted not to go to the local hospital, as we had no lacerations or broken limbs. God was in our passenger seat for sure that day. I have a new Subaru Crosstrek, and I do love it. It drives a lot better up here than my Honda. The new safety features far exceed what my old Honda had at the time of its demise.
Go Crosstrek.

3 replies | Destroying expired stamp ink /pads suggestions? | By Susan/CA on 10/15/26 6:20pm
Besides cutting up the ink/stamp pad (I already took out and shredded the paper cover with all my commission info. and threw out the plastic covers), however I have the 3 ink stamp/pads (plastic) that I need to destroy and I hate to mess up a good pair of scissors cutting them up. I believe it the past I used a razor blade to shred them but that is messy too. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you so much!

4 replies | Rocket Close is starting to REQUIRE a mobile scanner?!# | By Mills Mobile Notary Service on 10/14/26 4:13pm
Just got a email that Rocket Close starting Jan 1st is REQUIRING their notaries (non RON) to have a mobile scanner.
Not sure they (Rocket Close) are worth the expense and hassle, since I don't do a lot closings for them now.
1. What scanner would you recommend (those that have one).
2. Should I even get one?
Thoughts?

8 replies | A challenge for newbies... What would you have done? | By JanetK_CA on 10/9/26 4:57pm
Just got a call from a guy to notarize a document for his 93 yo mother who does have DMV issued ID. Then I asked about her mental capacity and was told she's mostly all there, but sometimes doesn't remember things, so I asked about what kind of document. From here, info came in bits and pieces. I found out via multiple questions that the doc was prepared by a probate attorney, and involved a rescission. The property in question belonged to a sister who recently passed and the mother needs to sign off on that, as she had POA for sister - and that they just need to get it taken care of. [This is in a more coherent order than what our conversation was.]
There were many specifics that flagged this as an area requiring extra care, IMO, but I felt we were getting closer to this being something I could do, assuming I felt the mother was competent enough to sign. Then, just as I was about to provide a disclosure that I'd have to charge a travel fee regardless of ability to complete the notarization, he told me that he'd be happy to pay me $200 cash to get this done.
Any guesses on how this ended up?

6 replies | Scam artists, this one takes the cake! The guy is a real pro | By Cheryl Elliott on 10/4/26 7:49pm
This never went any where because when I said I would be opening a new WF bank account to keep accounting solely for his business and not comingle with my other clients. This is how it is done in the real world.
$90 is more than my other clients pay me, so I thought it might be interesting.

Got it, may I ask which bank you currently use? I'm asking so I can confirm whether it aligns with our payroll processing system and I will have your details sent to my payroll department for them to make the payment available and I will get back to you with the information you will be needing to make the payments. This is what you will do for me before my arrival as soon as the check clears, okay? As discussed, you’ll receive a $500 payment for the errands, I just hope you are honest and I hope we can establish a trustworthy working relationship.

Hi Cheryl,
Thank you for reaching out. I am relocating to the area from Austin, Texas, for a private research position funding humanitarian projects, and I am looking for a reliable person to assist with property management and errands for my new apartment.
The position requires working three hours per day, Monday through Friday, at a flexible time that suits your schedule. The compensation for estate managemen is $90 per hour, which will begin once we arrive.
Additionally, I need assistance with preliminary errands before our arrival on October 3rd. This involves coordinating payments for apartment furniture, interior setup, and family utility bills. To facilitate this, our payroll department will issue a certified check to you for $2,650. You will retain $500 as advance payment for your services, use $50 for any transaction fees, and distribute the remaining $2,100 via Cash App, PayPal, or Walmart as instructed once the check clears. I will also arrange for my estate agent to mail the apartment keys to you in advance.
To confirm your interest and secure this position, please reply with the following information so our financial department can process the check:
- Full Name:
- Home Address (including City, State, and Zip Code):
- Cell Phone Number:

6 replies | SCAM - BE AWARE | By Laura Fernandez on 9/30/26 9:42pm
Be AWARE!!! The Best Notary - More like.... The WORST Notary. This company is a SCAM. Be aware!!! I have been waiting on payment since June 2026. I have been communicating with this company since June to date, Oct 1st. I have been given the Run Around over and over about why payment has not been made. First I was told they take 3 months to pay, then that the owner is out of the country, then that they started a new billing system and then that I had not filled out the proper documents for payment, which YES I absolutely did. It’s been one thing after another. Not to mention they require you to log into a portal when you leave your home to the signing. Sign in again once you arrive, call them on a zoom to go over the documents before you leave, clock out once you finish and then do some other BS to complete the assignment. It was absolutely ridiculous and much more time consuming than the measly fee that Im fighting for after driving an hour away to help them because no one else would take it. NOW I know why!!! They have people from another country handling these signings for them. Clearly paying them very low fees and difficult to even understand. Which is another hurdle. Please pass this on to other notaries. The Best Notary - NOT!!! More like The WORST Notary!!

4 replies | Bonehead Move of the Day | By RickG/CA on 9/30/26 4:49pm
So I was re-inking my stamp, I grabbed what I thought was correct color (I use purple and blue) based on the ink stains. I didn’t realize that the blue on the bottle wasn’t the color of ink *in the bottle*. Yep, I didn’t pay attention to the cap color either. Thank you Maglone Insurance Sacramento, CA for having replacement pads on the shelf. Before I put the new one in, what is the best way to clean off the stamp?

3 replies | Having to ride the borrower about correct document dating | By Cheryl Elliott on 9/30/26 12:09am
A two hour signing tonight just about took me over the edge. Mr. B could not seem to keep the date straight. Over and over he dated 9/26/2026. Drove me nuts.
I had a day where I finally quit answering my phone and texts, and one loan did not materialize. I'm happy about that.
I'm getting to bed, I've got another rock and roll day tomorrow. Can we possibly date the correct date, 9/30/2026.
My puppy's 5-month birthday is tomorrow. Taking him to the beach later in the day.
