What if a licensed notary emails an unlicensed notary soliciting work in order to trap this notary?
I am unsure what an "unlicensed" notary is. If a notary's commission has expired, that person is no longer a notary and cannot legally notarize documents. If a notary with an expired-commission notarizes a document, the expired-commission notary can face fines or jail-time. The legal status of the improperly notarized document varies from state to state. Asking an expired notary to work, via email or otherwise, is not a crime and does not necessarily constitute an attempt at fraud. If an uncommissioned notary is soliciting work, that person is committing fraud.

Is an affiant and a notary the same thing?
An affiant and a notary are not the same thing. An affiant is the person who signs an affidavit or statement. The notary (often called "notary public") is an official who witnesses the affiant's signature, often by affixing a seal of the state in which the notary is licensed. Note that a notary may not notarize his/her own signature. Therefore, even if an affiant (person who is signing a statement), a separate person who is licensed as a notary must witness and stamp the first affiant's signature. What the notary is notarizing is the person's signature--not the validity of any statement. Is this now clear as mud?
