Use caution when receiving signing requests
After a dry spell like we've had where the phone hasn't rung as much in July, August and most of September, it's easy to accept an order without really checking out the company to make sure they are legitimate and will actually pay for the signing in a reasonable time frame the entire fee agreed upon at acceptance.
ANS like so many before them, raking in the dough and not paying the notaries, it's an old game. Amanda learned everything she knew from DocPros, she had good teachers. Imagine her looking at the stack of envelopes that held notaries' checks that were not mailed until the notary called and bugged DocProcs for payment, weeks, months later.
ANS survived 10 months. Began in business in August 2012 in Wildomar, CA and closed it's doors in Lake Elsinore in July, 2013 sometime. Valuamerica cut ANS off on July 10. Right now the DA's office is trying to get its arms around just how much money has not been paid to notaries, and how much Valuamerica paid ANS during this period, without ever checking Amanda's (aka Manda Lou) background. The IRS and FTB will want to know what the actual earnings of this company were for tax purposes.
I'm just wondering why DocPros didn't check out Amanda's background. They've been in business for years, Corie Maue is good buddies with Michael Tafoya, Prez of Title365. Probably because her good friend recommended her to Corie, and Core was CLUELESS. Corie has many years experience in the escrow field. Wonder how she'd feel about being duped by Amanda.
Also can't wait to see what the Kiirkish's next crime spree will be. But it won't be notaries because we've been there done that with ANS and we're all the wiser.
Unfortunately, there are other companies out there just like ANS waiting to take advantage of the next notary by not paying them.
Just be careful when you're accepting orders that you carefully verify, quantify and are comfortable that you're working with a reputable company.
