Bet I will be in real trouble I have accounts with 4 different banks that I only use for this. Stop worrying if you ever get asked tell them it's none of their business.

Did anyone see the coupon woman on the morning programme? She has over 70 bank accounts so she can get a free money box!

Talking of not getting paid. Secret Shopping Services.

How long do I wait before considering this MSC to be worthy of reporting to the authorities in the US and their UK client.

I completed a job regarding their posh jewellery metal on 3rd September and still not been paid. I did another but that was "only" on the 20th September. So on those two jobs I am owed a fair bit of money. I am having difficulty contacting them. My use of the contact us facility 4 days ago on the completed job board has been ignored and I am having difficulty emailing the accounts, my email client is not sending mail. Has anyone who did work for them around the time frame I did been paid? If anyone has a contact email an they let me know please.

It's a bit of a worry that they are shown on the list of MSC on the front page and although it says slow pay, this is over 12 weeks ago and I am wondering if they are about to go belly up owing people money.

I think in that period there stated payment time is 6-10 weeks, from memory they sent an email early Oct saying they were back to paying in 6 weeks for new assignments (but I haven't done anything with them for a long time)

Not sure there are any PAYE ones, or at least if there are I haven't found them.

I know of two, but they are recommendation only.

These are very few and far between and they only usually take very experienced shoppers that are recommended. Your friend is looking at this the wrong way if he thinks someone is going to give him an "apprenticeship" so he can learn the ropes. If he is unsure why does he not take a couple of jobs to try it? he will know very quickly if it’s for him or not.

Just noticed that 4 of my TNS phone visits are back on the jobboard - does that mean I did it wrong?

I got paid by RE this morning

And both my most recent GR jobs are down as paid by BACS for yesterday so they should appear next week. Hoping my ABAi fuel jobs get paid soon as well.

Am doing "real" work today but lunch from underground sandwich shop which is just over the road from where i am working today
