    Hello, first time poster on this thread. I have done search and can't find anything about a co I'm looking for info on Mystery Shoppers Inc, as I've had an email inviting me to register, has anyone heard of them an d work for them? They aren't on companies house, I'm not sure of this means anything or not.
    Is Mystery Shopping a good way of earning?
    Thank you for any feedback

    The above have got back to me & want me to do............Western Union, I'll forward it on to wherever another poster said is looking into another company.
    Probably just as well actually as I used false details, so I could have had quite a bit of explaining to do if they were legit.
  • I have had busy day today, 10 jobs completed.

    5 x crisps, 3 x React petrol, 1 x supermarket audit, 1 x 'tea' shop.

    Photos uploaded, guess I had better get on with the reports. :eek:

    :rotfl: Do they want you to transfer money to them and then they will refund it to you? Sounds liek a good scam :eek:. It's lucky you spotted it and used false details although I think you would have smelled a rat when they asked you to give them money :rotfl:

    more pizzas on RE everyone - was about to post an alert but someone beat me to it!

    Ive had a bad evening. did a bare retail visit and just got on with the report. I added the photo and then needed to add numbering etc so it conforms with their standards. I pressed the wrong buttons and submitted (dont ask me how! I am overtired and my foot is swollen and killing me :(!) Ive emailed them asking for the report to be sent back as it is not complete. Has anyone else ever made the same sort of mistake and are Bare understanding? I hope so :(
  • bare are the worst i have experienced..... 3rd of march and still waiting :mad:

    Not really - they're consistent. They say they'll pay around the 20th the month after you complete an assignment. You just have the unluck of having carried out an assignment right at the start of a long month!
    React however seem to take ages to read them and score them - I have some left from mid March still not either read, paid or a query raised if they have one!! Very slow.

    Are you sure about that? It doesn't at all sound like them. They only started commenting and grading reports in late March - before that the only noticeable difference would be that a job went from "completed" to "received". Generally I've found react pay up pretty quickly.

    i also find that they are one of the quickest payers! re used to be until they started arsing around with payment dates. :(
