Anyone else get a message from Sand Castle?

I received this email yesterday. Anyone else heard from these folks? Why do they think notaries would be willing to do this kind of work?


Hello,

We found you listed on Notary Rotary or Reo Network. We have a field visit/letter delivery available in the following area(s):

Cary, OH 43316

We typically pay $15 to $25 for these and need completed within 2 days if possible. It is a one-time attempt letter delivery on behalf of the customer’s client. The letter is asking the customer to call the client regarding their account. If the customer is not home, the letter can be left taped to the door. Photos of the property and/or collateral (vehicle) may be required.

Let me know if you would be able to complete this one for us and what YOUR FEE would be. If you are not interested and know someone that may be please let us know that as well.

Thank you,

Michele

LOL - photos of vehicle ???

ROFLOL.

So if the debtor isn't home, because s/he is in the vehicle that you have to photograph.
How many trips do you make before your get the photo to collect $15?
Do you park on the street waiting for the debtor to come home to photograph the vehicle?

Doesn't sound like anything I would want to try, particularly if the person has already been avoiding service.

Volume FedEx 2-day delivery with no-signature required receipt is less than $25. No photographs, but sender has instant proof-of-delivery e-mail receipt. So why search the internet for an unknown, unseen individual to do this work. Of course, FedEx requires good credit and payment in advance.

Yes, worked with them since 2006

the trick is to negotiating your fee. I receive between $30 to $45. Total of 3 to 5 photos required.

Sounds very similar to NCCI.

Worked with NCCI for a couple of years some time back. They started out paying $25 and higher, depending on distance and circumstance. Then, they went to regional divisions. Pay decreased as then there was another party involved. Shortly after that, I resigned. Too demanding for too little money.
