Please don’t believe that “the signing company controls the notary fee paid to the notary,” We, as independent contractors and business owners, control our fee.
Did you all get this email? Apparently they are getting what they pay for. And SINCE WHEN is the NOTARY responsible for the content of the 1003? WTH? Here’s the email:

Agree with you @salliemaesioux - not our territory
Their fees are INSULTING. I moved their email to my spam folder so that I don’t get these sad email offers but I still kept receiving them.
At the end I contacted their vendor management drpartment snd politely requested that my email be changed to a new one that never existed. Let the “ghosts” accept these $40 and $50 bucks.
Honestly, the notaries are responsible for this. These people started at $150 in avg in 2019. But with the market been over saturated with desperate notaries who can accept a dime I can’t blame them.
