@odaversa Excellent question! By any chance did you find the immediately available information found within the Notary Cafe database on this topic? There are LOTS of WARNINGS & CAUTIONS therein . . .
This information is a GOLDMINE!
Most members express that they find it difficult/NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE to locate the Search Function in order to access the wealth of information available within the database.
To be helpful, I’ve inserted an image for you & others [see below] to help members locate it to unlock the wisdom & knowledge of other members on the forums.
I’ve performed a cursory Search on your behalf and the results show many separate threads (in addition to yours) about this particular topic. There is a plethora of data immediately available on the threads within Notary Cafe.
Also, you’ll find these threads particularly insightful . . .
Accessing the database to locate information about potential clients has saved many of us an inordinate amount of time ‘chasing’ payments for Services professionally provided to potential non-payers . . .
