The following excerpts are taken from the Declaration of Jess G. Almanza in the following case involving a Deed of Trust and Note originated in 2006 by Long Beach Mortgage Company. Almanza’s testimony makes clear that he never endorsed notes, never authorized any signature samples for stamps, never gave anyone permission to use his name and signature on endorsements, and didn’t even understand what a note endorsement is. He performed no work after July 2005, yet his pesky signature appears on countless notes after this time period and well into 2006. If these are stamps, then who forged his signature in obtaining said “stamps?” If they are not in fact “stamps” but actual signatures, then who forged these signatures? If they are neither stamps nor actual signatures, then who created the computer-generated signatures being applied to the imaged copies the servicers swear are “original?”
