That's why they always highlight the need to use a stopwatch or stopwatch on phone. I'm not sure but there is probably one person out there who does count in their head!!!

I got a car circuit from bare - my first one. I was offered 2 location, or 13. Much as I need the money, I thought I should start small. November is looking like it might be a decent month for me. I seem to be getting some amber arch stuff too, for the first time.

I received an email from SEP about mystery shopper jobs, also calling itself UK Mystery shopper jobs. I was offered a special £22 price to register down from £34. I tried to pay on line - 3 of my card details were refused even though I had given all the information asked for. 4 days later, I did the same again only again to have the cards rejected. My concern now is that they have all the details of all my cards with security numbers and yet no reply.

Is this an IT glitch or does anyone have any information on this company, or have I been the victim of a scam. Is this a bona fide company. If anyone from the company reads this I suggest you reply to this or your company's reputation is going to nose dive, if I have no assurance that I have not been scammed.

Anything that requires you to pay money upfront should be seen as a scam. I'm sorry you've fallen for one. I'd recommend you contact all 3 card companies and see what they suggest you do.

If you're interested in mystery shopping take a look at the first few posts on this thread and sign up to a few companies listed there. None require money up front!

Don't pay to be a Mystery Shopper - it's a job. They pay you. If they ask for money IT'S A SCAM. Check page 1 of this thread for reputable companies

Can you take somebody with you on the bingo visits please? I have read the notes and can't see that it says you can't, but I wanted to check with somebody that has done one already.
