Ever heard of Rush Notary Services (RNS)?

Sounds like they want to give you a lead and you go do the signing, you deposit 40% of the expected pay for the signing into their RNS checking account within 72 hours of the notarial act, then wait/hope to get paid by the title company you worked for.

RNS is simply a advertising referral source whick utilizes independant california notories fullfil notorial acts in the state of california. RNS gets paid as a rererring online advertising source from california public notories. (Typos belong to them.)

If you would like to sign up I can pass the contact info on to you.

Belinda: Are you working with them?

I'm not interested in working in that manner. Not my cup of tea.

Just curious what your experience is/has been and how you got involved with them.

Re: I would consider reporting to the DOJ

Right. Sounds like a lot of those internet scams where you put up a relatively small fee for a much larger payoff later which either never materializes, or they send the money and then stop payment, or it's no good to begin with.

If this is on the level by some chance, the only reason I can think of why a company would choose to operate this way is because they're under-capitalized. I have a personal policy to never front any of my own money for any assignment. My usual business expenses are my responsibility, of course, but if someone wants me to pay recording fees or shipping costs in advance out of my own funds, not happening. (Once I'm set up for credit cards, I might reconsider, but there are risks there, too. I might do that only for well established clients, if the need ever came up - which is doubtful.)

Seriously?

"Sounds like they want to give you a lead and you go do the signing, you deposit 40% of the expected pay for the signing into their RNS checking account within 72 hours of the notarial act, then wait/hope to get paid by the title company you worked for."

Right. And I'll send you a $5000 money order to pay you for the signing - you deduct your fee and an extra $50 for your trouble, and mail me back a check for the difference...

Sorry for this long post, but it was the 1st I recieved it and it seemed different. I could not have had enough time to make this up. Kept it because it was so unusual. Sent a copy to the people I know in the Dallas FBI office so they could get a laugh.

Attention:

This is the final warning you are going to receive from me do you get me? I hope you understand how many times this message has been sent to you?.

We have warned you so many times and you have decided to ignore our e-mails or because you believe we have not been instructed to get you arrested, and today if you fail to respond back to us with the payment then, we would first send a letter to the mayor of the city where you reside and direct them to close your bank account until you have been jailed and all your properties will be confiscated by the fbi. We would also send a letter to the company/agency that you are working for so that they could get you fired until we are through with our investigations because a suspect is not suppose to be working for the government or any private organization.

Your id which we have in our database will been sent to all the crimes agencies in America for them to inset you in their website as an internet fraudsters and to warn people from having any deals with you. This would have been solved all this while if you had gotten the certificate signed, endorsed and stamped as you where instructed in the e-mail below.

This is the federal bureau of investigation (fbi) am writing in response to the e-mail you sent to us and am using this medium to
inform you that there is no more time left to waste because you have been given from the 3rd of January. As stated earlier to have the document endorsed, signed and stamped without failure and you must adhere to this directives to avoid you blaming yourself at last when we must have arrested and jailed you for life and all your
properties confiscated.

You failed to comply with our directives and that was the reason why we didn't hear from you on the 3rd as our director has already been notified about you get the process completed yesterday and right now the warrant of arrest has been signed against you and it will be carried out in the next 48hours as strictly signed by the fbi director. We have investigated and found out that you didn't have any idea when the fraudulent deal was committed with your information's/identity and right now if you id is placed on our website as a wanted person, i believe you know that it will be a shame to you and your entire family because after then it will be announce in all the local channels that you are wanted by the fbi.

As a good Christian and a honest man,I decided to see how i could be of help to you because i would not be happy to see you end up in jail and all your properties confiscated all because your information's was used to carry out a fraudulent transactions, i called the efcc Nigeria and they directed me to a private attorney who could help you get the process done in Nigeria and he stated that he will endorse, sign and stamp the document at the sum of $98.00 usd only and i believe this process is cheaper for you.

You need to do everything possible within today and tomorrow to get this process done because our director has called to inform me that the warrant of arrest has been signed against you and once it has been approved, then the arrest will be carried out, and from our investigations we learnt that you were the person that forwarded your identity to one impostor/fraudsters in Nigeria when he had a deal with you about the transfer of some illegal funds into your bank account which is valued at the sum of $10.500,000.00 usd.

I pleaded on your behalf so that this agency could give you till 6/27/2012 so that you could get this process done because i learnt that you were sent several e-mail without getting a response from you, please bear it in mind that this is the only way that i can be able to help you at this moment or you would have to face the law and its consequences once it has befall on you. You would make the payment through western union money transfer with the below details.

NAME: DURU VINCE
ADDRESS: LAGOS NIGERIA
TEXT QUESTION:FOR
ANSWER: YOU
AMOUNT: $98
MTCN Num:



Send the payment details to me which are senders name and address, mtcn number, text question and answer used and the amount sent. Make sure that you didn't hesitate making the payment down to the agency by today so that they could have the certificate endorsed, signed and stamped immediately without any further delay. After all this process has been carried out, then we would have to proceed to the bank for the transfer of your compensation funds which is valued at the sum of $10.500,000.00 usd which was suppose to have been transferred to you all this while.

Note that all the crimes agencies have been contacted on this regards and we shall trace and arrest you if you disregard this instructions. You are given a grace today to make the payment for the document after which your failure to do that will attract a maximum arrest and finally you will be appearing in court for act of terrorism,money laundering and drug trafficking charges, so be warned not to try any thing funny because you are been watched.

I got an email like that once.

I think it was about a bunch of bad checks I had written to Nigeria, or some BS like that. In my email, it said that an armored car would be arriving to my house to 'collect' me and cart me off to maximum-security jail. I wasn't afforded this 'grace' to rectify my horrendous 'terrorist crimes'. I waited on the porch so as not to shame my family, but alas, they never came.
LOL.

You'd think these scammers would at least make an effort

to write something coherent and grammatically correct. The sad thing is, there are people who actually fall for this stuff (maybe that's why they don't make the effort).

I read a week or so about a new con being run, where people are being threatened with arrest and other nasty things if they don't pay a debt they actually never incurred. The scammers are calling them both at home and work, and they have sensitive info such as the SSN which makes it seem like it's a legitimate debt.

The common thread seems to be that a) all of the callers speak with an Indian accent, and b) all of the people being scammed had previously taken out a loan over the Internet which had been repaid. The theory is that their information was then sold to the group making the calls...
