I did that as well. Does that mean I will never see the client again?

You'll probably get the chance again at some point. I used to get screened out for the mobile jobs but still saw them again each release.

I can see them in Scotland.

OOH PM me where please? Think the one in Dundee has probably been snaffled then!

I've used a bb bold, a bb torch, an htc desire and a nokia x6 and I still can't log into REs website. Can anyone give me any tips? I'm not a complete technophobe, and I can follow instructions, what concerns me is changing a setting without knowing what I'm doing and completely messing up t phone so any help is appreciated

What happens at the moment is that I go to the home page, enter my details, click login and it takes me back to the home page. I've tried finding alternate login pages on google but it does the same thing. Does it have something to do with my security settings?

I had an email last week from GapBuster telling me that they no longer want me on their database, I cannot re-register and the decision is final. They said that they every so often they clear out mystery shoppers to keep it fresh (or something along those lines). I had only been with them since the beginning of Feb this year and had done 2 assignments for them. I had completed various tests for different clients but not had chance to do any shops.

Is this normal, did I do something wrong? Do you have to do so many per month to stay with them? I just thought it was a bit strange and the email had a very unfriendly tone to it, as if they were sacking me!

Anyone else had an email like this?

For those that haven't had the email it's a matter of time. You haven't done anything wrong they just cull their shoppers for no apparent reason.

Thanks for the reply. It just seemed strange in that I'd not long signed up and didn't really get chance to do anything. Oh well, lesson learnt....not worth the time and effort. Are all mystery shopper agents like this? Is it worth me trying with another one?

Have a look at the first two pages. GAP are one of the two worst rated and no other copany does this. Most are very good. Once you join a couple you will see that the large majority have respect for their shoppers.

It's that time of the weekend where all the RE jobs that were due this weekend end up back on the job board!! So if I really wanted to I could have placed a bet, gone out for a pub meal and finished it off with some cookies.

It's not your phone that's the problem, it's the RE website which blocks the standard internet browser you get on mobile phones, only way round it is to download another internet browser. I find Opera Mini works for RE on my HTC.
