Hi Judy,
Forgive me for not answering. I personally have never worked with them...but do a search on various forums and see what you come up with. Ask them for notary references in addition to checking them out.

I've had 4 calls from my free listing on NB, of which I've been able to handle one. I've been with NB since the BETA.
The way the system is set up, seems pretty cool to me.
I have always received fast email/phone call responses from Scott.
I can see where there would be problems, but it's like all the other databases out there -- sign up and post your info or don't. I never knew there were problems until I read this topic.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Although I have received very few calls, I agree that the site is set up and is VERY "cool". For me, it was about return on investment. The only problem outside of that is that some people want a guarantee in life. They foolishly believe somehow, that someone should be there to catch them when they fall and to refund their money if they don't get a guaranteed return. Being self-employed is all about risk. If you choose this path for yourself, you must be prepared for the bad as well as the good and learn about personal responsibility. Notary Bay didn't sell a guarantee of business. They sold us an opportunity. Whether it works or does not work, is academic. Glad to read posts like yours from folks who are rugged individuals and don't need a nurse-maid. |

My apologies,
I get a phone call this evening from a guy who is in New Jersey. He informs me that someone has cut and pasted some comments of mine about Notary Bay and wanted to know what I felt about that. (He talks so fast that it's hard to get in a comment) I told him what I had posted on NotaryCafe.com as I thought that was where the comment was from.
My interpretation of what he was presenting was somewhat muddled by his 'energetic' speech and I told him where to find some follow up comments I had posted.
He did not identify himself as a relation to Scott, but spoke very fondly and defensively on his behalf. - said he was "...old enough to be the kid's Grandfather"
I let him know that I am still dissatisfied with the inability to make contact with anybody on that service and that there is no way to close the account other than challenging the charges with the credit card company.
Since I joined in the last week of March, I have had two pages from NB. One was an SS doing what they called a 'Recruiting Drive' and the other was from, do you believe it, CTC Notary.
I have read over what was posted on 123 and I want to state that I have no regrets or issues regarding that topic. Jim could only have retrieved my phone number from here which was slightly disconcerting at first, but comical to think that he reads this forum then shoots it down at 123.
Anyway, this whole 'permission' thing is on him, not me. I was put on the defensive by his demeanor and led him to my comments on Notary Cafe. Once I read 123 and saw it was you two he was having issues with, I was greatly relieved. Both of you have proven to be respectable and trustworthy posters.
Again, my apologies for any inconvenience he may have caused you in my name.

Hey Jim,
I just got a very interesting PM from Mr. Pearca and I have to tell you, he was NOT supporting your position. I hope he posts his thoughts on this site so I don't have to tell you what he really thinks of you, Notary Bay and Scott.
Jim, you're not making many friends out there.
This is better than TV!

This came from someone that wishes to remain anonymous and was sent to me via private email.
Subject: Fwd: Notary Bay Job Alert
Hi all!
FYI
If you get the following email, there really isn't a closing. They are just trying to get you to call in and update information. I followed that lead and it was Nations Signature Closers. After I spent 20 minutes updating my information and explaining why I will not do my closigs for a minimum of $75, The person that answered said there really isn't a job in that city. They just chose a zip code and entered to see who replied. I said that is bogus and interrupted my day for 20 minutes for nothing---I thought I was replying for a closing.
Have a great day!
And then there is this from "Then Premier Site For Professional Notaries."
"Re: This is so pathetic...
Posted by John_NorCal of CA on 4/3/08 12:03am Msg #241913
I posted about that guy a while back. Text messaged me about a job, then within a minute said the job was taken. No way in hell was that for real, he just wants to get suckers to sign up for his site. Wouldn't be surprised if the $45.00 wonders sign up with him."
BTW, Jim, I do not need permission to quote what was posted on a PUBLIC message forum.

Linda, Pay attention here. You did NOT understand correctly and nothing could be further from the truth.
**So Jim, if I'm understanding the quoted information above you are saying that Becca had 83 posts on a forum (NotaryBay) that she wasn't aware she had posted?
Now THAT is a reliable source of information!**
Shannon, I'm sure glad you got your money refunded, others have not been so lucky.

I wasn't as smart as you. I signed up over a week ago and they charged my card, but no upgrade has happened. I've left numerous messages on both of their 'contact us' links but nothing has happened.
Live & learn, I'll have to get the charges reversed and see if they try to charge me again next month.

I do not need to take a look. I know that.
I said, "Mr. Lissemore made a post to her attention and then she responded yesterday."
Yesterday was the 19th.

Becca hasn't made a peep since 5/13. Mr. Lissemore made a post to her attention and then she responded yesterday.
More posts were made thereafter to attempt to provoke her into more debate.
It seems like that there is plenty of baiting and more than one bashing taking place here

Please readers, CONSIDER THE SOURCE OF THESE COMPLAINTS. For the record, although the service didn't pencil out for me, Scott and his staff were great to deal with and were incredibly fair all along the way. This vendetta by a few individuals is becoming pathetic and exposing them as the bashers that they are...Please don't be fooled!! Use your own judgement and take comments from "that group" with a grain of salt.

Well then, tell your MoMo adopted grandson to cancel the friggin listing.
Becca as per your request you have been removed.
Also you should show a little more respect to members of my family.
So Jim, if I'm understanding the quoted information above you are saying that Becca had 83 posts on a forum (NotaryBay) that she wasn't aware she had posted?
Now THAT is a reliable source of information!
***********
Quote from Becca:
“AQN, what happened? Did you finally see the light? Did you finally figure out you were being scammed?”
Unquote
What is your excuse? If you knew all of this from the start, why did you join Notary Bay? You didn’t realize you had joined?
Quote from Becca:
“Why Linda, of course you feel this way...as you were found guilty of planing the same scam Scott planed all under the guise of being helpful.”
Unquote
I didn’t ‘plane’ anything. Found guilty in whose eyes? Yours?
It’s quite obvious your sense of perception and interpretation is a little warped. After all, you interpreted that Scott was Jim’s grandson from misreading the post Jim made about adopting Scott or from second hand gossip. If you misread then you are unreliable as a source of opinion or interpretation. For such a group who discredits the association, many of you sure jumped on board or tried. Several of the nr bunch joined or tried to join the association. Many were declined membership.
So which is it, Becca? You can’t be on both sides of the game.

Oh, and for what it's worth, I have never received a call from my listing on that site.
I have requested AGAIN that Scott remove my profile from his database. I doubt I'll get a response or any action since people looking to cancel their paid memberships have had to cancel via their financial institution because Scott can't seem to pick up the phone or answer an email.

Glad to hear you are healing well, Renee.
The fact is that just 30 miles north of me, over 100 homes and many pets were lost to brush fires in the past three days. I have spent my day organizing with other caring people in my community to get much needed supplies to the families left homeless while trying to figure out a way to house the pets that got away and hopefully reunite them with their owners. You see, these things are just as important to me as warning fellow notaries of companies that prey upon them under the guise of being helpful.
I feel I add much value in the things I do and say and don't regret a thing.
And, Lulu, Brenda said just that "My answer is no, thank you."

I try to look at every day like I have .46 cents left to spend on Life, and I try to spend my time, my energy, my LIFE on things that matter, things that – if they’re the last thing I ever get to do – will be positive influences. Everything I do or say has a price, and I would hate to squander away my last few cents on something that really didn’t add anything of any value to anyone.
Is this stuff really all that necessary? Is holding onto some sense of being 'right' really more valuable than being kind?
Renee!!! Wonderful! You are out of that cast! I was thinking about you the other day, wondering how you were getting along with the leg. Great, so you won't have to carry that thing into the warmer weather.
Did you carpet those steps yet? :)

I wish you the best in your endeavors, Linda...for you as well as notaries whom you may help along your way.
Nonetheless, I don't think that us getting together for coffee here in Texas or touring the TAMU campus together is a goal either one of us really aspires to...really wants to put our time to.
That having been said, the Texas A&M campus is a good place. Since you mentioned TAMU, when you have time, google and read the "Aggie Code of Honor". It's a very short read...like two lines.

I meant that seriously about having coffee. Sometimes when an opportunity presents itself (such as in visiting my niece near you)it is an opportunity to meet and try to heal issues long past. A simple No thank you would have sufficed.

Mr. Lissemore - I tried to answer you but apparently it's been caught in the moderator's sticky fly paper. It's just as well, I have more time to answer now.
Those, who (like my family) have ties to TAMU for years...generations even...well, naturally we/I/they feel this is regrettable/horrible and we don't like it or in any way approve of the type of people who do this or some of the other unfortunate acts which a few bad apples have chosen to commit.
Still...that doesn't mean that I (or other people who adhere to a worthy code) will tolerate intolerable behavior...or cheaters...or liars...or people who steal the work of others. The Aggie code is not so different from most people who have a conscience and a sense of fairness.
You are retired military, right? Naturally, we think of the military as an honorable group of men and women...we appreciate who they are and what they do. 99% of those people are extremely good people. Even so there are times when there are those 1% of rogue members of the military--actually, any segment of honorable society who shame us all.
And, by the way...what was your point? :)

Hi Carmen,
I have asked before about this company, and no one responded...
Are you familiar with them? They texted me to call them for a signing .........when I called, it was Southland Title company and they said they had been instructed to use Notary Bay for their signings.
Thanks
