MYSTERY SHOPPING THREAD 17 - please don't mention client names or fees on here!!

If any of the ladies and gents that shop Ipswich are available, there is a music shop with a nice triple fee increase to be carried out today. Not worth my while travelling from BSE just for the 1 job, but great if you're in Ipswich anyway.

Gone now....did anyone on here get it??

not me, not worth me travelling in either for one job. (not that I saw it anyway )

Not me either, too slow!

Not me either! I originally had that job scheduled for later on in the week and then had an email from RE to say they had c*cked up with the dates and that it had to be done yesterday or today. Already had a job planed for this lunchtime so told them I couldn't do it. If I had known though that they were going to treble the fee .......

However, I have found that some of the allocators are nicer now. They seem to be really helpful and answer questions straight away.

I've always found their allocators to be lovely TBH

Hi all!

quick question - I have recently been sent an invite from TNS to join the mystery shopper (yay!) however, I am slightly dubious as its asking me to input my bank details via the site. is this the norm with these guys (sorry if I sound paranoid but I would rather be safe than sorry!!)

Do you want to get paid? You'll have to take the chance, though a lot of us are signed up to TNS and it's one of the bigger firms, so I think you'll be ok!

Im so wary these days of people asking me for bank details (especially when its been sent via an email that takes you to the site!!)

I love this "Hi RE see you want a pub job doing...I got an email can you up the fee?"
"Nope"
"Why not thats low for pub"
"Well its only 26 questions rather then 100"
"Right so we get paid per question now? Its still my time... and really what you said in 100 questions could be said in 26"
"Well do you want to do it..."
"nope"

A bank account and sort code you can't really do much damage with that!
