Mystery shopping thread xiii ** please don't mention client names on here **

It's rather slow this week in my area .

Or maybe I have shopped too much and cannot shop again so quickly at the same store.

Has anyone seen any jobs from GfK or Grassroots in the last week?

Nothing on Gfk in my area, but picked up phones and saw TA's today on GR.

I don't know all the facts but I know the bank accounts are all in his name and address and are all correct, the MS companies don't ask for a account name just Sort Code and Account number (At least on mines they don't), and he is declaring the income under his name and I also know he only makes about £100 Per Week doing MS as its only part time few days a week, so we are not talking mega bucks, its just the principle of the thing I feel is wrong. He also appears to be doing it to 3 companies.

I was thinking about this while I took the dog for a quick walk. In Scotland you can change your name or call yourself anything you want. No legal change of name needed. But you cant do it for fraudelent reasons or to obtain money by deception. Maybe not the exact wording but you get my drift. There is money and deception involved here so it could be illegal. I always thought English law was even tighter about using false names. Maybe he should do a google search on this and decide if he wants to go on risking it. Is it really worth it for a few more jobs?

I picked up a TA job yesterday with GR and also missed out on one on Tuesday for a bank. I couldn't have done the bank one anyway as Im not a customer.

I'm so boooooored. Got nothing at all booked for next week. How is everyone else getting on during the drought? The only consolation would be some warm weather so I can sit in the garden with the kids as it's school holidays yet again! :mad:

I have some mortgage jobs trickling through daily at the moment for GFK. Unfortunately the jobs are a bit too in depth for me to do in a lunch hour... I had an email about phone shops for Grassroots but as usual they had all gone by the time I logged in.

All those jobs for that small market town are showing again?!? Wonder if its a glitch or if they were handed back.

I think I'm becoming obsessed with logging in to ESA lol

These are for the 1st April. Anyone who has applied and been accepted for the same market town in the beginning of the week will not get these I'm told. They are not on self allocate and will be given out on Monday next week. Maximum 5 per applicant as ther are only 10 visits.

I've seen a few GFK jobs. Did one today that I picked up yesterday. Cafe in a diy store. Saw a couple of them but most were too far away to be worth while. And a few others that I bumped because of the distance.

Ditto. Last week was a bit manic, I was rushing all over the place everyday for jobs. In doing that things were neglected around the house, the washing was pile high as my kids can never wear anythign more than once. The floors were a dirty shade of white so I'm doing things around the home from last week that need doing whilst also checking on the iPhone for jobs coming through email and the alerts. Ive also been taking my fustration out on the wii fit!!!

Well this lack of jobs is really scary stuff. I actually cleaned out one of the kitchen cupboards today and mopped the floor :eek: The house is actually starting to look like someone cares about it. At least hubby will be happy when he gets home from work.

My main concern is the jobs I will lose (if any) during the school holidays. I did some last week that were solo ones, so no kids in tow. Looks like a long 2 weeks!
