I know many people on this forum don’t like Carol Ray, but her intentions and conversations with me appeared genuine.

On Oct 29 the NNA released the SPW guidelines. By Oct 30 a group of us had organized and had planned a website for the purpose of addressing the SPW issues and a place for notary signing agents to unite. My niece, who was going to build the website for us, had a personal long term issue arise and was unable to build the website. Some person called Notary On The Go and myself started posting on Notary Rotary for someone to help build the website for us. Along comes Carol Ray and her Notary Rotary message is below. I agreed to join forces with her. My team worked for two weeks and every bit of content that was written and designed on AmericanNotarySigningAgents.com was our creation. Her daughter Barbara put the website together. All along I received numerous phone calls and emails warning me that she would use me and my group to get this project done and would claim credit to it. Before my team was ready for the website to be released, Carol Ray and jaxnotary031 began posting on Notary Rotary about the website. I was confused as this was not the plan. Today I received the email at the bottom. Well, people were right. She did use my team for all of the work and has not effectively laid claim to it. Now you wonder why NNA has the power it does. If someone would turn on a fellow NNA and do this, where is our power? Where are we united? I can’t speak for all of my team members who worked on this project, or the people that supported us, but I am so deeply upset that she would do this.

From: Carol Ray

Subject: We need an SPW Alternative

Carol,

I don't visit this forum very often but I am knee deep in this SPW stuff was curious as to what was being said. I just read your post. We have a group of people on the LinkedIn forums who have approached me about a similar plan. I offered to purchase the domain and create the website.

Your idea is good and we plan on going further with letters going out to the governors of every state. We are getting some council on how best to approach this from an advocacy expert. I have also reached out to a friend of mine who owns a notary association with 50,000 plus members and he may be willing to act on behalf of the notaries at these SPW proceedings. I do not post on the NotRot forum for reasons of my own, but it seems to me that we have 2 different camps and could benefit from joining forces.

Please keep this message to yourself and let me know what you think.

Dear ANSA Board of Directors,

Please be advised that ANSA does not have my permission to use any of the web content that was created by me. I have proof that of those documents and all website content that I created and were sent by email for use on the website which was to be a joint venture between Carol Ray and myself.

Numerous people reached out to me telling me that Carol Ray was only utilizing me for her benefit and planned to steal the website, the mission and the content from me. Each time she adamantly denied this and I continued trust her.

My emails will also support all of the aforementioned.


Sincerely,

Carol Flinn
