The Mystery Shopping thread - part 5

Silicon

Does anyone know which MS company does a chain of sandwich shops named after one of The Beatles?

They're London only.

I signed up to a few of the mystery shopper sites,today besides getting an email back from two that i recognised i also got an email from an Albert Thomas dosent say what company,not sure if this is cosha or not.Has anyone else had the same email either now or in the past.

What does the email say? I think the name rings a bell as being a scam. If your not sure copy and paste the email into google and see what comes up.

Yes I had that email too - I'm pretty sure it's a scam, I would steer clear. I've heard about some MS companies that try to get you to pay a fee before giving you work....

Can anyone help I did an assignment for RE at the end of August and I don't think that I have been paid for it. I have checked payment made section which I have not been paid for. On the payment pending section it does not show that it is pending either. They have got the assignment as they have given me points for the job that I did. Has anyone got any ideas what to do next. Do I submit a ticket?

The email says i have been chosen as a mystery shopper,and they will send me £300 when i send them my bank details.I have replied saying i dont have a bank acc,but they can send me the £300 by cheque or postal order.Will see what their reply is.

Sounds highly suspicious! Why would a legit company send you £300 when all you've done is register with them?

What are the best companies to sign up with.I know there is a list on the first page of this thread,but have no idea which to sign up for and which to avoid.

This seems to be what they pay for each assignment.

It's really hard to say because I think it depends on where you live. I tried to sign up with all those on the first post - some I'm still waiting for a reply 2 months on! I only get work from 3 or 4 of them, but others say they get lots of work from the ones that I find useless, so I think it depends where you are located. What's annoying is you can't find out which ones will have work in your area until after you've wasted all that time applying. Sorry I can't help much, I've just found it's trial and error myself.
