how long are you meant to keep emails etc from mystery shopping? For example where the mystery shopping assignement was to email a company and see what their response is? Ive just had a query on one from beginning of July, luckily I still had the emails in a folder in outlook express but just wanted to check how long they have to be kept for?

Looks like GFK have not kept all their communications?

I have 3 email enquiries I have to re-send through to them, all received today.

Same here! But note they're not paying me anything for the inconvenience!

If anyone is interested in some regular in store demonstration work
pm me and I will send you the details. You have to promise to click the recommended by a friend box...thats me by the way! :j
Currently they have some work every weekend from the 14th November until the 20th December demonstrating phones/cameras.

Jobs in Ireland too.

I did some work for them a while back and it was ok work. Pay wasn't bad and they give you training.

Should I be concerned? I have had an email from re saying that following a request from the client they have had to remove my recently submitted report, but I will still be paid.

I would think the fact they are paying you means it's not your fault. My thoughts are that it is something the Client or RE did regarding the specifics of the brief. Only a guess but if it was your fault you certainly wouldn't get the money! Don't worry about it - sleep easy.

Nope, if they're still paying you then it makes little difference to you. I'm surprised that they even told you tbh!

Just hang on to that email. Take a backup of it. Take a backup of the backup, take a bac....

you get my drift.

And me. Jobs done and paid for in July? Ridiculous!

Although I had a similar thing last week with RE - some email enquiries I did re: self storage back in August they wanted me to re-send the email reply to them. I did consider asking them if they were going to pay me any more, seeing as the job was closed and paid for at the end of August! Ruddy cheek if you ask me.
