We need to be more agressive with companies that use manipulative techniques to underpay.
I have been getting emails for signings that go like this:
First email - "Signing available (usually like 50 miles), notary fee $100, fax-backs required." Buttons for "accept" or "decline."
Second email (like 30 minutes later) - same email, same buttons, $10 more offered.
And so it goes.
Their justification if I object to the fee or the technique: "for your information, we are hiring you!"
My response: "Try telling your plumber what you are going to pay him!"
This is yet another contemptible means of squeezing the notary for a few extra dollars. I refuse to have anything to do with crap like this. I send a brief note saying something like "I do not permit signing companies to determine my fees."
Usually after a repeatition or two they respond with vitrupation and a note that I am off their mailing list...which is the right idea. I went through this yet again this morning.

Another techinique: they briefly and very quickly discuss the signing, ask if I am available and if I say yes, they they declare that they have granted me the signing and hang up before I can object...no mention of money. If you let it lay as it is, you get an email with a price of one third the going rate listed. Cute, huh? I guess we know where all those fast talking tele-marketers went when do-no-call registries became fact.
