Good afternoon,
We are a law firm in Dallas, TX and have a loan modification closing on Tuesday 08/24/2022. The consumer would prefer to close at 11:00am but can be flexible. The modification is typically 50-60 pages. There will not be any fax backs and a shipping label will be provided. Please let me know if you are available and your rate at your earliest convenience. Once confirmed, I will email docs and complete instructions.

You nailed it. That sketchy Hotmail email is the first clue it’s a tital scam. No signing location, no phone… then they reply to your questions to say you got the assignment, “just click here”…
I receive this same scam message this morning. A good lesson for new notary signing agents to maintain a healthy skepticism with signing requests.
The first pic shows a LEGITIMATE law firm in Dallas that has an actual address, website, and phone number. Scam artists count on newbies or technology challenged notaries to be trusting/gullible enough to fall for their b.s.
