A real class act - Lynn - NC - [e-mail address]

I was approached by a newer notary who operates in NC. Her name is Lynn. She lives in Raliegh NC. She asked me to help her cousin get into the business here in IL. I told her at this time I was simply to busy to mentor someone and help her cousin. I have to date mentored 4 people and this year I am focusing on my family. As many of you know I am a single mother and I an in the middle of adding a addition to my home. Aside from that I should not be verbally abused by someone simply because I declined to help and politely I might add.
I am posting this message because IMO this type of notary is one who will bite you in the A$$ after she is finished with you. I would be vary weary of helping her in anyway. I am sure she has befriend many just to get your contacts then she will turn around and bad mouth you. I met Lynn because I offered to help her long ago. We chatted via email. Now she is showing her true colors.

For those of you who have read to this point below is her response to my email (which is also posted beneath hers). Which she apparently sent to her cousin and cc'd me :

What did you think of my message?

Jacquelyn is just so warm and fuzzy! There is a way to do this, but she certainly is not willing to tell. What a b*%ch! She must not believe that, “what goes ‘round, comes ‘round”, as I do. What kind of a mother would she make!?

Actually, her writing that she works with title companies and lenders directly is some help. Also, the fact that signing companies do operate in IL. Although there are some obstacles in your way, if she and others can work as notary signing agents in IL, you will be able to, as well.

I will get some contacts at signing companies together for you to call, to see if they do business in IL.

The state of Illinois seems to leave us old timers alone. They only go after the newbies for some reason perhaps it is because they actually talk with us on the phone and know our title company experience. I do not work with signing companies. I work with title companies direct and lenders direct. The state of IL does not want signing companies to operate in our state..... however they still do. Unfortunately I can not help or mentor your cousin.... she would have to get inline behind my cousin and my brothers finance who want a "in" as well. I am simply to busy compounded by the fact that I am a single mom to a 3 year old. Good luck to your cousin.

What kind of a nut would CC a copy to the person they are talking about? We do what we can do, don't worry about her. Our families come first.

I thought you had to be a licensed title agent or escrowee in Illinois?

what I have or do not have is not relevant to my post. I have no obligation to help anyone but myself and saying no is my choice I should not be called a B*tch or a bad mother for saying sorry I can not help you right now.

Why can't she mentor the cousin herself? So what if she's a newer notary. They are literate, have handbooks, and internet access. There's the two heads are better than one theory at work. No NSA's are under obligation to mentor anyone. I would never dream of asking someone to be my exclusive "mentor". Now I value the information and opinions of about a dozen or so members of these boards whom I would consider to be "mentors". In fact most of them don't even know how much I value them because the bulk of what I have learned is from the posts. But whenever I have asked a question or needed advice from them individually I certainly have expressed my appreciation and gratitude. All of these "mentors" are hard working, very busy business owners so why would I expect any one of them to take me on exclusively. Nobody should expect you to either. I think that if you have ever "mentored" anyone you are a very giving person who deserves gratitude and a whole lot more.

Now I would be happy to answer questions and help others. Spending an hour or two a week would fit my schedule. But being an exclusive mentor is not something I would have the time to do. Anyone who takes the time to answer any of my questions has my gratitude and appreciation and deservedly so.

I'll take that as you don't have or are either.

take it as you wish. I am neither denying or confirming. It is public information you can look up yourself. I suspect this is Carrie Goodman posting. Since she is asking everyone around town what my credentials are and yes Carrie is does it back to me. Why not post your real name? Why hide when asking such a simple question? I am an old timer in IL. One of the first NSA's doing business here. I have a very loyal following and friends in the business notary/title/other who tell me when people ... especially other notaries ask questions about me to them. Carrie why don't you tell everyone what you did to your fellow NSA Cindy? Tsk Tsk. and to think she was your friend. Shocking! and if by chance this is not Carrie she is another one who needs to be called to the floor at any rate.

I do not post anonymous because I am proud of who I am and what I do. I have built my business on honesty, good business ethics and integrity.

It means I consider many experienced NSA's as my mentors and I would be happy to answer questions and help out others. I've been under many wings and would offer my wings as one of many. There's a difference between being there occasionally when needed or having someone want you on a consistant basis. The tone of the original post was that this notary just expected another to be there to answer any and all (emphasis on all) questions at any and all (again emphasis on all) times. Personaly I like the many "mentors" approach because it gives you more than one view and opens up your critical thinking and discernment skills which are especially important when learning about all aspects of this business.
