I encountered an issue with an ADT sales contract. I know there was a problem with the original attempt to send me contracts because they only allowed one person (my deceased husband) as account owner. I now see a “signed” DocuSign contract with my name as the signer. I do not believe I ever signed this contract.
How simple or easy is it for a retailer to sign a contract on someone else’s behalf? How does DocuSign ensure that signers are real?
if the sender not enable IDV for the recipient, docusign not verify the recipient. it only send a email to the recpient and recipient can open the link in the email and sign the name which sender set for this recipient.
the signing action record can find in the summary of this envelope.

Thanks Hengfeng, but I do not understand your answer.
I have since reviewed my email history and see that there is no request to sign the contract that I see in my DocuSign history. Furthermore the contact has a 3 day right of recission and the date of the contract coincided with the date of installation, so I certainly did not sign a contract on the very day that the tech arrived to install the system/. I now see that DocuSign is a scam and cannot be relied upon.
If you have the Certificate of Completion for the document, it will show the email where the DocuSign was sent, date when it was signed, and may also have the location where it was signed. If you do not have it, you should be able to request it from whoever sent the forms for signature.
The Certificate of Completion is (to the best of my knowledge) the part that “proves” who provided the signature.
So -yes, it is possible for a company to send a document for “Jane Smith” to Susan_Jones@email. com - but the Certificate will show that the document was sent not sent to Jane, even if her name is the one “signed” on the documents.
hope this helps

Thanks for the reply.
I think the “proof” would be in the envelope location, but I don’t have permission to access this information.

Hi Christopher,
Thanks for the follow-up.
No, I haven’t been able to resolve my problem. I don’t have access to the Certificate of Completion, so I do not know if the above answer is correct.
From reading the DocuSign documentation I think (?) I have to have the “Envelope” data, to which I do not have access.
Is there someone at DocuSign that deals with fraud? I think that’s where we are at this point. I may have to take them to court to cancel the illicit “contract”
