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

I think 'everyone' gets the email at some point. Last week somebody had it before completing a single job and others i've head have worked for them for years.

They work backwards to most companies. The majority you can build up a reputation and relationship with that workd both ways regardless of whether it's FFF or self allocation.

I'm changing my bank but seriously considering leaving my normal savings account open just for GAP and then when i get fired re-register with my new bank.

Gradually getting back into the swing of things again

Have a couple of jobs for those whose name must not be spoken today for a bit of variety and was very good at the watery cookshop yesterday and only went £5 over reimbursement

Could somebody remind me which company it is that MS the Chinese/Japanese restaurants in central London please? I think it's Retail Active but I can't remember. I think they also do a chain of Italian restaurants as well IIRC.

Yes you're right with Retail Active. I believe there is one on there at the moment, others were there a few days ago!

:wave: Squidgy!

Yep, the company is Retail Active. When I last checked, they had some lunches available to be done by this Friday.

Has anyone experience of "International Service Check" ?

They appear to be Austrian based. Advertising in Job Centres at the moment.

Have done one job for them, only because their assignments mainly need to be carried out Monday to Friday which is not always convenient if you have a full time job like me! They mainly have mortgage and bank assignments. The ones that GFK had last year. Have never seen any jobs on their website but they email to advise of the jobs available. They paid promptly by paypal.

I got booted last year after 3 years with them. I did assignments last minute that they couldn't get covered, sometimes being a little out of pocket to make sure I got other premium jobs, and asked first for the incentive ones. I busted a gut but still got the boot for my efforts. I re applied using a different bank account, but got took off the system again with 12 hours.
A friend of mine signed up last week, did a premium greasy job,going out of his way to go there making no profit, but to prove to them he was a willing worker, the job only had 1 date, so they were really desperate to get it done. He did the job put in the results, then got booted out the next morning!

I've done work for them in another European country. They seem to be completely above board - there was nothing irregular about the work, the fee was decent and was paid inside a month. Like pennies says, they only seem to allocate by email.

Am I the only one who is now thinking that the "mystery shopping paid course" is ANOTHER of your ideas to line your own pockets using the information based on this thread?

This thread is to help people, not for you to advertise your ripped off ideas.

B-U-G-G-E-R OFF!

[FONT=&quot]As qualified interpreter I don't speak in gibberish and don't have problems with expressing my thoughts at all, that's why I'm pretty convinced, that you are having serious problems with reading and understanding written text .. .. the paid course info I "googled" the other day by accident ( while looking for online training in SAGE ) and mentioned it here as it's kinda related topic ( don't you think ?!? ) . I thought, I made it clear, that I WAS TOTALLY SURPRISED that ANYONE could actually pay for such online course ..

For your information only I'm an administrator and main moderator ( Law, Women status in Arabic countries and many more) on two the biggest polish forums for people in mixed relationships and for foreigners coming to Poland as well as to UK with their immigrations status ) since 2003 and I'm giving advices for totally free ( I was even awarded financial grant by one of the most famous Law Foundations in Poland which let me provide full year online education program for people seeking legal advice and unable to effort one ), that is why I know, how to appreciate someone else online help!

[FONT=&quot]P.S. You may, if you want, “google” me using my well known internet nickname – AMEERA (w w w. a r a b i a. pl , w w w. s a l a m. g r o m a d e r. o r g ) [/FONT][FONT=&quot]or using my name K..... M..... I....... and then think twice before once again you will try to accuse me of dishonest intentions ..[/FONT]
