Good grief, I think RE might have lost the plot with the influx of 10,000 shoppers. They have paid me twice for one visit. Guess I will phone on Monday and tell them so. Has it happened to anyone else?

I wouldn't bother. My first pay they tried to pay me £15 too much but the transfer failed. I rang them, they noticed the difference and they sent me a cheque for the right amount. Ever since then my account has always said -£15. When I rang them to get them to correct the account their solution was to pay me more money! My account now says -£30.

Had that last year which I didn't query with them as I don't find them very helpful. They eventually corrected it themselves approx 3 weeks later.

I did think about it, but it would be lying wouldn't it? Decisions. Decisions.

RE overpaid me twice. First time, they paid me 3 times for the same job. Second time they paid me double. Emailed them - several times - on both occasions. Nothing was ever done about it.

If you're uncomfortable with lying, you're in the wrong job!

Ok, it's now official: January 2011 was the worst month ever for me in my many years of mystery shopping. I did far fewer jobs and earned considerably much less than I ever have in any month in the past.:(

February is looking much more promising. I already have enough work booked to fill the first two weeks (with no particular need for "filler jobs"):
16 audits, 14 coffeee/food places, six phone calls/emails, three supermarkets, 18 miscellaneous shops ... and a trickle still coming in.:)

I hope everyone is starting to see the signs of MS recovery!

Oooh OK. As long as my Mom doesn't find out, it's all good. Gosh, do I sound like a thiefing beggar or what? LOL.
