owners and their broods. Uncle Bob can't get a job because he's a convicted felon. Can't be a notary himself because bgc doesn't pass muster. No problem. VOILA! Suddenly Uncle Bob owns a signing service hawking low notary signing fees thanks to family connections. Thank God for family, huh?
Do your homework, folks, cleanse, bathe, scrub and sanitize before taking assignments from signing services who show up out of nowhere.
We have the famous Amanda Kirkish to thank for showing us just who can get into the back door of DocPros, Valuamerica and Entitle Direct, that we know about. All because of her friendship with someone who had connections. She will never get a good job due to her flawed background. Although her record was purged from public scrutiny, any HR check will divulge the true nature of her character.
Yet more than 2800 notaries took work from her without checking her out, and around 40 notaries got stiffed in 2012-13, while the SS owners and their cohorts vacationed in Cancun, Las Vegas, Havasu on the Colorado, bought expensive speedboats, Tijuana titties, appliances, fancy garb and Tiffany trinkets, a hot pad for $2500 a month, all on the backs of unsuspecting notaries.
Can't be too careful. Meanwhile, there is always a fresh new crop of notary loan signing agents coming on board unaware and unsuspecting, unschooled in the technique of "background checking and vetting" our vendors, the middle man signing service.
