Suspicious email from [e-mail address]

Has anyone else received an email from jmtdocs.com giving a link for a background check? The whole thing looks very suspicious as it refers to an email previously sent requesting this information with an incorrect link (which I never received), there are no phone numbers to call this person, and if you go to the website 'jmtdocs.com' you don't have access. The link takes you to crimecheck.com. The website I have for jmtdocs is documentsigners.com.

I received the same email. Their name did not sound familiar to me. I checked my files. No record of them. I keep a record of every company I've ever worked for. Maybe I signed up with them at some point but never actually worked for them.

Just tried to view the site (www.jmtdocs.com)
received a forbidden site warning

Looked up site via Google and received the following search result for the website

www.mortgageprep.com/contact.html

IMO, looks like a fake site.

If you received two (2) emails

The second email corrected the link to show that JMT is the requester for the BGC. The first email referenced a different organization. It's on the up 'n up as far as I know.

Re: If you received two (2) emails

I never received the first email, so this had me suspicious. Maybe if I got the first email I would not have been so concerned.
Thanks for your replies.

Not suspicious at all

I have worked for them quite a bit over the years. They hire notaries for Quicken loans. Those are the easiest docs next to the old Citibank Helocs!
Lloyd Pace is the owner of the co. This email was about background checks.

Isn't this the same company that wants their SA's

to have a Smartphone?

Yes, that's the one!

Not worth the expense as far as I am concerned.

I received it as well. I called Emily because if you look at the first email it came from her. I said it said "final notice" for background check. He should not have said it like that because it makes it sound like you had received other emails, which I hadn't.
Per Emily at JMT, they just want copies of people's background check certificates. A normal request I get from many companies. I do regular business with JMT so this is not a problem for me. My background check is with the NNA. That link they gave is in case you don't have a background check yet you can use them.
I had also been in contact with Lloyd previously when the whole discussion of the "smart phone" thing came up. He is the one that confirmed that they are indeed going that direction as well.
Hope that helps. :-)

Caveat: Check Signing Central. There is an obvious and fairly recent slowdown in payments.
Red Flag to me. YMMV

I have never had late payments from JMT in the many years working with them. They only pay once a month, though, so depending on when you sign, you are paid usually on the 20th of the month following your signing. So sometimes my payment from them are over 30 days, but I know exactly when they are coming and they always come like clockwork.

Speaking for myself and maybe other CA notaries,

I'm not going to pay money for a background check for any company. Not when you consider that we have to have a state department of justice and a FBI check in order to get our commission. If they want to pay for one, then ok, otherwise, take me off the list.

Re: Speaking for myself and maybe other CA notaries,

They have just added PNC to their client list and PNC is requiring, that all of their signers have Background Clearances.
As for pay, they pay on the 20th of the month, however with Quicken that wasn't very much. It states right on your confirmation when you are going to get paid.

Re: Speaking for myself and maybe other CA notaries,

Also speaking for me on this one, John. California notaries have already undergone the DOJ and FBI BGC prior to commissioning or re-commissioning. How much deeper can the other BGC's dig on an individual???

Re: Speaking for myself and maybe other CA notaries,

JMT sent me a request for a BG check, and indicated I could get one through a certain company for $30. I told them I already had a current BG check, and that I would fax it to them. I faxed it, and Pam called me back and said it didn't even show if I was a home owner! WTH does being a home owner have to do with being an SA? I told her that if my BG check was sufficient for other companies, it should be so with theirs! I also told her that if I got a BG check for each company i would be broke, and that I have had no problems with the one I have. She replied, "You will not get any more signings from us until you get a BG check we approve"...>!
