lol!! thanks for the quick response!

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!!)

have filled it in now so fingers crossed I will get some mystery shopping under my belt!!

Just to be safe, I would never click through to a site, the clones look really realistic these days. I would google the company and fill in details from there, after really clicking around and checking it out.

Always do this when banking online, or type the site in, don't click through.

Retail Maxim update. Spoke to someone else about the job that went wrong and she said they could pay me half the fee. Still a bit miffed as that doesn't really cover the time and petrol costs of both visits, but it's better than nothing.

First tracking have a number of cinema audits for this weekend. They seem to be a new company.

For future reference, ALWAYS have the contact number for the company you are visiting for on your phone. If anything like that happens, just give them a call and explain.

You know how some of the MS companies place enormous emphasis on correct spelling? Would it be wrong of me to email this one to tell them they need to do so themselves? .

'make an appointment in oder to obatin the nessesary information' - :eek: Cringe!

Ooooh, ESA have jumped the fee to 1.5 the original for the travel shops. No one seems to want them in West Yorkshire, they have been sat there for ages!

Hi Guys

Just a quick question - I've got my first MS assignment next week and its asking me to make a purchase and i'll be reimbursed - Does this mean I can just keep the purchase? So for example if I am asked to buy a purchase of my choice at a pet shop does that mean I can buy my hamster food and get reimbursed for it?

Sorry if it seems a daft question - just don't want to do anythign wrong!

Hi
Yes, Buy what you want up to the allocation they give you. KEEP THE RECEIPT then you get the money back for the hamster food and keep the food!

I got a little giddy then, but you lied. it's up a third, not half!

Still can't be bothered with them lol, think i'm time barred from one anyway.
