Cheaters on Notary Rotary Notary List

Accessing the "FIND A NOTARY' feature on this website.

When I type in a San Diego zip code it returns a list of Premier Members and Basic members. Instead of just names I see that some have PHONE NUMBERS, SOME ARE CERTIFIED LOAN SIGNERS, SOME ARE SAN DIEGO'S NOTARY LINK, ETC. ETC. I find it unfair that these individuals are exploiting the system for an edge over the rest of us. This upset me so much that I started typing in other zip codes to see if San Diego was the only area filled with cheaters and wise guys.

Not happening in LA but Riverside it is rampant. Even the basic members are adding phone numbers and certified signing agent next to their names.

Another issue is the signing service that advertise as notaries ON THIS WEBSITE now. There is one within 5 miles of me that offers 24/7 service, thousands of notaries and 20 different languages. I'm sure they are paying Harry exactly the same for their damn listing. That is very unfair to all of us sole proprietors.

(note) Last year I complained to Jeremy about this on his site and he removed the signing services, leveling the field for all of us there. But not here, You have to compete with the CHEATERS AND WISE GUYS.

Re: Look again Joe

NDWA You don't seem to get it do you?

2 profiles? Do you mean the other profile in the basic membership that I can't access? Why don't you leave me out of this and FOCUS on the cheaters and wise guys that are doing exactly what I told you they are doing.


SPECIFICALLY I am talking about notaries the have last names that also include their PHONE NUMBERS, COMPANY NAMES, SIGNING AGENT QUALIFICATIONS, ETC.ETC.ETC.

When I pull up a list of 25 names I do not want to see that a just started in the business competitor is also listing a phone number and newly obtained Loan signing certification.

I will give Harry a week to clean this up. If it doesn't change I will post MY qualifications behind my last name and divert all of the calls to me.

Re: Joe, your own name, phone, profile, etc.

You are the clueless one Joe, and I can't believe how petty you are being. NO, I'm not talking about your basic membership listing coming up. Look at your profile. For your primary address you have a zip code of 92167. When searching this zip code, you appear first in the search and 1.5 miles away, and there are 540 notaries. However, your package delivery zip code is 92107. When doing a search of this zip, you appear first and 1.4 miles away and there are 534 notaries. OK, we're only talking about 1/10 of a mile between the two zips, however, there is a difference of six notaries that are being screwed between the two searches, and you appear in both.

Has the light bulb gone off yet -- about the different posts pointing out that you are appearing twice and your remark is "that's not the point" ????

I agree that the only thing that should pop up
on a ZIP search is the person's name and distance from
the zip code entered. If they choose to operate under
a DBA or Corporation, then I guess it is ok to list that name.
I do not see where NOTROT has any specific rules on this issue
at this time.

That's if the client ever gets that far Brenda. When you enter a zip code you get a list of names. You either choose the closest or the most qualified. Most qualified means that I would have to read all those profiles or just click one first. Now if I needed Loan Documents signed I would choose anyone with Loan signing next to his name no matter how far away that Notary was.

Can you post a link to said "rules" that make this anything more than just good marketing?

If so, I'll modify mine to meet any restrictions. If there is none, then I suggest you might want to TAKE A HINT!

As for the supposed unfair advantage to all of you "sole proprietors", my operation IS a sole proprietor office, under a filed DBA business name. Maybe you could invest your $20 and DO THE SAME thing, no?

Now, the signing agencies, especially one that I know is ACTING as one (and most likely lying to both other notaries besides here who might have taken assignments from him under the guise of "hey, I have a horrible schedule conflict and have to spend time with my mother, can you take these jobs for me?" and competing signing agencies (Yes, that would be YOU Kieth, or David, or whatever you want to call yourself whenever it's convenient for you), if that's OK with Harry, too, it's fine with me. I don't count them as competition, and I get plenty of work, and folks like that create their own karma! :o]

I'll buy the "A Notatry Anytime" as possibly being a registered DBA in the San Diego County Courthouse, but thos other "two" names are NOT registerable as such, sorry.

That may be a matter of opinion, but I'll take your word for at least the first statement.

>I also took an oath of integrity and I believe in fair play.

How, exactly, does that statement come into play as far as something in the premier listing that MANY people are doing, without the site's management objecting or restricting any additional marketing verbage?

>I knew from the time I bought a Premier membership I could "Beat" the system

You're assuming that "beating the system" was my intension, I was only using what I was already able to see was being used by others. You can, too, as far as I'm concerned.

>and add virtually anything I wanted before my first name and after my last name but I believed

Correct, it nothing I have seen confirms that your opinion about it makes it wrong to do, but THANK YOU for bringing it up. As I've already said multiple times, I'll modify it IF the sites ownership asks it to be done, OR I'll live with whatever you put into your listing.

Either way, I don't see that it's your call to make, OR your business what my listing says, unless you and Harry have some kind of unseen deal about the website.

Has business really be falling off in your office becasue of what other notaries advertizing at NotaryRotary are doing? I doubt it. But then that does make me wonder WHY make such a fuss (11 posts in one thread trying to convince others) in one thread. Why not just email Harry and ASK HIM if it's alright?

Re: So you're saying that a SS or TC

I don't necessarily call the first listing "AAAAAAAAAA" -- in actuality, I avoid calling that type of listing because of their, as you would say "cheating" practices. I know many people who purposely begin calling at the end of the list.

When I wrote the comment about SS/TCs getting what they deserve, my point was that if they call based solely on what's before or after a name in a listing and don't prescreen, meaning checking out profiles for experience, etc., then they are probably a company I wouldn't want to work with.

It's perfectly fair

Just because you think things should be a certain way doesn't mean that it's unfair if they're not. Can you change your profile to do the same thing as what you're complaining about? Yes. Therefore it's perfectly fair. Whether you choose to do it or not is your own personal decision. But somebody who does choose to do it isn't cheating, they're just using marketing tactics that you wouldn't necessarily use.

And I think it's completely ridiculous that you think somebody is going to see a name with a slogan after it and automatically think "wow, this person is obviously more qualified". But if you really do think that's going to happen then put a slogan after your own name, don't stamp your feet and put and cry about unfairness to the owner of the board. You really expect him to weed through the thousands and thousands and thousands of listings on here just to make it "fair" for everybody?

Where you got the idea that business is supposed to be fair is beyond me. Sometimes you need to do more innovative things than just slap up a clip art style picture of yourself behind a desk to get a competitive edge.

But I catch your drift: there are all kinds of newbies out there (in my area), I've checked their commissions, and they have been notaries for less than a year and make those claims.
What irks me most, is that TC's and Lender's may have a bad experience with the inexperienced NSA who claims to have done 1000, but dropped the ball on a common knowledge issue (like recording requirements). They then have no faith in my experience, because the last NSA made those claims. One of the factors in reduction of fees, IMO.

Ok...call me stupid if you want. But personally, I feel if you put to much on your profile its way to much to read. Most SS's/TC's don't have all that time to read all your credentials, no matter how good or experience you are.

If you are a notary and have your own notary service, there should be nothing wrong having your name, your small name name and your phone numbers/website in all its appropiate places. To describe you and your experience shouldn't be a "book"...be precise and to the point of your exprience. And honestly, they are going to and accept the first person who accepts the assignment,and if you are good they will keep your name on THEIR database.

I think there are some SS's here who are notaries that still do signings like you and I...and if their business name is the same as their SS...then like you and I they can put their "resume" on here like you and I do. I don't think they are trying to "sell" their SS service but their own notary work they do personally...after all, I'm sure they still have to earn a living if their SS is not very busy. And it has been slow lately. IF they paid for it, what does it matter,they paid for it! They are paying for NOTROT service to advertise for them adn they have provided that info.

I didnt see where the problem was...so please point me to something to see exactly what you are talking about, so I can try to understand your point of view, but at this time I didn't see it. I'm sorry, I just didnt see it. However, I saw alot on your profile Joe...there was a lot to read, but seeing you paid for it, you have that right. I just don't think alot of SS's/TC are going to read it all before deciding to call you. If they call you alot its cuz they know you are good from their experience from working with you, not due to your profile.

That list is not by YOUR zipcode!

I think you got up on the wrong side of the bed today ... but just to be fair, your name is listed FIRST when you do a search by your TWO zipcodes (92107 and 92167)

Re: That list is not by YOUR zipcode! That is 92117

With all due respect, Joe, the list you pulled up is for 92117, which is not your home zip code according to your profile. You might want to review the data again. Have a nice evening.

While I think this is a little bit of a tempest in a teapot, I do think that Joe has a point. The directions that Harry put clearly state that the fields in question should include either "Last Name" OR "Company Name" - not both, and not whatever advertising or other gimmicky information someone wants to include to try play with the system to get a perceived advantage of some sort.

As for signing services advertising here, I'd venture to guess that most of us advertise here (and elsewhere) not to get more signing service business as much as to get more business directly from lenders and title companies. Likewise, I'd like to think that the latter come here looking for someone to hire directly, not someone to farm out the business to an unknown third party. I hope that's not wishful thinking. If it got to the point for me where I felt like I was competing with signing services most of the time - and mostly getting calls from signing services, rather than lenders & TCs, I might have to rethink the value of keeping my Premier Membership here. Thankfully, that has not been the case for me so far. My 2 cents....
