Has anybody heard of international service check ? I've done a search on here but can't see anything.
They're advertising on the job centre website for mystery shoppers in my area and I was wonderig if they're any good?
Thanks

I'm registered. I've done a couple of jobs with them but I have yet to be paid. They take 6 weeks to pay and I only did the jobs last month so I should be getting paid soon. The checks were pretty straight forward and the fees were pretty good.

ISC reports are long and very wordy! So take a long long time to write

Me again, just had an email to say I can do both, so I have booked them both and they have been accepted. Wonder if I will get an email cancelling one. Will let you know.

OOOH Thats great!:D I applied for both jobs in 1 branch and got an email saying they had been accepted but then was told to cancel 1! Hope they are now allowing us to do both as that would be great fees with only 1 expenses:j

I've done terrible on my assignments today. The first assignment I lost the receipt and the second I was so focused on remembering what I was going to say that I forgot to look at the displays, forgot to look at the left/right shops and even forgot to remember their name; I had to go back in and ask something else so I could take a look and I'm sure another one of the staff saw me look at her name badge. Hopefully I'll get a bit better as I get into the swing of things.

I quite like ISC - but like skywalker said, very wordy - you have to write about your visit from start to finish.

Dont worry, I almost shook a woman yesterday and said "B*****y well stand still, I cant read the damn Badge. It is so obvious we are looking, its like the burger jobs when you ask for a receipt and get the manager stand to attention and salute at the door when you leave. Dont these companies read the forums... We try to go undercover, but the blooming actions give us away

I did my first glasses job today, went really well, criminal waste of a perfectly good pair (2 pairs actually) of glasses though. Anybody know what they do with them after the reports are in?

Just to let everyone know for future reference:
I have done 2 fast pizza jobs (and we all know who for), on two separate months, and have used a voucher which I printed off the internet - Buy 1 get 1 free - and have received my full reimbursement without any questions.

I know it says on the brief that they don't want you to use vouchers but I think they might be referring to the Tesco clubcard vouchers.

I thought it was worth a shot and it worked. My friend and I had a lovely meal for nothing!

I just love it when you can see that they're wearing a name badge but it is obscured by either hair, or they're wearing a fleece which just covers their name. So annoying!!!!!!!!!
