I didn't get one but this one just doesn't seem right.
confusing grammar, promises of money but no idea what does the job entail.
No qualifying tests. Nah, sounds right odd.

My brother in law knew I did mystery shopping, so went on an internet hunt to join and found this company.

A quick google search of the precise text showed him how crazy he'd be to go any further

It looks like one of those Nigerian money laundering scams.

Perhaps people have stopped falling for the ones where they want to transfer huge sums directly into your bank account in return for an admin fee, and are trying a new angle.

I never get anything like this, I am jealous!

Thank you for posting this.

In my experience to do any mystery shopping assignment you will first need to be 'qualified' and/or at least aware of what standards they are looking for so..... BIG CLUE - if you don't have to pass any test first then chances are it's a scam. Mystery shopping co's also pay you per assignment; NOT A FIXED MONTHLY FEE.

Well done for spotting. (It's taken me a while but I finally realised that a lot of these 'join our forum panel and earn money/points' type schemes are no more than a way to get your permission for companies to call and pester you to buy something.)

I ve signed up for a few of these, I was aware it would mean lots of emails and phone calls, but as I am at home anyway with the computer i thought i may as well. some of them do obviously seem a bit intrusive but i do avoid them. Since yesterday, as far as i know ive actually made 0.01p, ........... just waiting for the rest of thepennies now.....:rolleyes: ........ and as far as I can make out cookies aren't what they were in my day

"your weekly wage is £400:00 Flat for working with us and will come in two bi-weekly payments of £200 each."
So, you get £400 a week, but it's paid as £200 per fortnight?

I would say that in this case bi weekly means twice in a week rather than once every two weeks.:o
