  • Can't say I've heard of them before, although I'm not a serial mystery shopper (!), so others may have.

    Oh blimey, I hope evryone who can't answer your question doesn't post here to say they don't know, otherwise you will have about 40,000 answers to read.

    Here is the list of all the most common companies. I must sayI have never heard of the one you mention.

    I've had odd jobs from them but nothing regular. They contacted me and asked if I was available for the jobs, rather than me picking them up from a website.

    The brief's were well written and easy to follow, and the questionnaire was easy to fill in. They paid promptly and the ladies in the office are nice and friendly.
    Here I go again on my own....

    Considering my reply was six and a half hours after the OP had asked, and nobody had replied at that point, I think my response was fair game. A 'no' answer is better than no answer.

    I've signed up with them but never been offered any work, something like Grassroots:confused:

    Each to their own opinion.

    I would say it's a waste of space, a waste of bandwidth and doesn't provide any relevant information to answer the question

    A waste of bandwidth!? Is that the best reason you can come up with!? Laughable.

    I also think you'll find my post was relevant to the original question... as a mystery shopper, I haven't heard of the company, therefore they can't be that massive... as further posts would seem to back up.

    Nevermind, Bob.... I'm sure it seemed right in your head.

    .

    Please don't misquote me. I think if you read my response again you will see I gave three reasons.

    I didn't prioritise waste of bandwidth as being the best one

    As for being "right in my head" well Oscar Wilde has a better retort to that than I could come up with.
  • I didn't misquote you.... the quote is identical word for word.

    We can look at your other two reasons if you wish...

    3/ Irrelevant to the question. Well I've already covered that.
    1/ A waste of space. As the information was relevant, it was quite a good use of space.
