The Mystery Shopping thread - part 5

Vickisaver

I'm having difficulty finding any jobs other than through BARE, although I've registered with all the companies I can find. Don't know if there is a better way to manage, at the moment i have no money spare to make purchases, which means I can't do any of the GAP ones. Still, hopefully it'll pick up.

Eeek, lots of Weegies here. I'm another! Although I live on the outskirts and that's where most of the jobs I've been doing have come from - mainly Falkirk/Stirling way.

I'm glad to hear you're doing better Hollypear. I've only just joined the forum, so thought it would be a wee bit forward to launch in with posts, but I've been reading about your trials and tribulations and wishing you the best despite not posting!

Blimey we are taking over here. Don't be afraid to post we welcome new views and are happy on here to give support. Are you newish to MS'ing or just the forum?

PS Someone asked me for the address of Mystery Guest... I am off to work shortly but will dig it out later.

Oh err. Made a right tit of myself the other day. Did the whole mystery shop, but instead of asking after a dishwasher, I did the scenario about a tumble dryer. Made the purchase, took the photos etc. Halfway through entering the report, I noticed that I had done it wrong. LOL. How thick am I.

Hi Holly, think it was me that asked for the address, think that's one of the very few I haven't joined yet.
Does anyone else have much joy with the companies that allocate the jobs to you rather than the self-allocation ones, I've not had anything from them yet (OK, only been doing this just over a week, but still...)

I did my first MS a week and a half ago! So yes, I'm new to the whole thing. Am I the only one that gets a wee adrenaline kick out of it all? I don't actually know if I'm enjoying it, or I'm just terrified though.

I'm totally the same Fragglefan, I've done 9 MS since Saturday, and am totally panicing every time in case I forget something, or get rumbled!

Has anybody done any work for Mystery-shoppers.co.uk The reason I am asking is that I have been offered a quite unusual job. I will get a phone call teeling me that I have won a holiday. I then go to a time share presentation. I do not sign up for anything and I will be given the holiday, I have to claim the holiday by post. i will then go on a weeks holiday. Go to another presentation sign up for the timeshare approx £600. Come home and claim back the deposit. will be given a very good renumaration and expenses.

I am very wary about this any comments

Hi all.

Another new MS here, was a we bit nervous to join you all but after seeing the welcome FraggleFan got from Hollypear, thought I would go for it.
My first MS is on Sunday and I would be glad of any tips you have. I just feel like FF, yes I have the adrenaline rush. Not sure If I have done the right thing or not.

From a very nervous MS.

Just received 3 emails from GAP - 2 clarification ones (had two very bad ms over the weekend) and one asking me to fill in an questionnaire which I kindly explained I could not as I was unable to carry out the assignment as bookies did not have correct forms yesterday and again today I email and tell them....then they send me another email asking me to do the qnr.

Ugh....anyway. Back to bed...

Stir away it sounds very dodgy. There are several websites under that name from my experience none is working at the moment.
