Ive never tried MS'ing before.. I signed up, got an email a few hours later...

Does this sound genuine to you lot...

A sum will be debited into my account and Im to go into a local travel agent to see how they manage Western Union transactions...

Im to keep x amount and the rest is to be inserted into an account in Nigeria???!!!!!!!!!!!! who is supposed to be another MS...

Thanks for this - no reporting link yet - visit os in a few weeks so I guess they'll email me closer to the time.

They don't email you when it becomes available, they expect you to be Mystic Meg and to just "know" when it is there. A few days after they send it, you get a reminder email and only have 24 hours after this to open the link up. If you don't open it in time it is deallocated from you.

I've had loads of jobs deallocated because of this which is very annoying. I have explained to them why lots of times but they seem to think I would log into their website (and presumeably the 30 other companies I work for), every day, so I should see the link before the reminder. Duh!

HTH.

It was a link on a single post....

I only signed up on Sunday, the so called MS is
Mystery Shoppers Inc.

Im going to try and find the actual link.

If you submitted bank details when you signed up and you are worried, get in touch with the bank and explain what happened. They can at least put an alert to any strange happenings to that account if nothing else. At least if you notify them you have some form of cover.

Hi, Was the link in the opening pages? If so it should be removed if its leading to scams

Sorry Linkypie, this is quite right - too early in the morning for me! But my version is what should happen! I don't see why they can't send an automatic email when the links go live, like Ted and Karen at React seem to have managed it :rotfl: Although I've just noticed on the 'Visit Brief' blurb that it does say approximately when the reporting link should become available. Unfortunately, after this it is just a case of checking your TNS page every other day or so, or checking your email at least once a day (which is not a problem for me! ) to see if the reminder email has been sent.
