Mystery Shopping Thread 21 *PLEASE READ THE OP FIRST**PLEASE NO CLIENT NAMES OR FEES*

Very straightforward drive through gap burger visit. I love those as I don't have to endure time in the greasy restaurant. The food also gets donated elsewhere - best bit! Imagine they have my car description as when I paid by card, the cashier said 'Receipt at the next window' without me having to ask. Or maybe they're just very considerate with card payments. Who knows!

Having a detox over Christmas from fast food meant even the two fries I sampled tasted revolting. Bleurghhhh!

I'm trying to register on Secret Shopping Services but it won't accept any telephone area codes - has anyone had this problem?

I wouldn't bother registering with them unless you like working for nothing. I did two assignments for them early September 2011, both marked 10/10 and I know for a fact the reports have been submitted to their clients. No payment and refusing to answer emails. I know of one other poster on here in the same boat. They have paid in the past but I've not seen anyone claim they have been paid for work from September onwards.

I personally think they should be removed from the front page as they are clearly not a reputable MSC.

The reports are long and they want a lot of detail. If they paid it was reasonable but when I think of the hours I put into thse assignments they Secret Shopping Services are nothing but crooks.

Hi, anyone doing the 'fleece' jobs again tomorrow, have you had any feedback? Just to be sure are we just going back and doing the same thing again?

Thanks

Same here, heard nothing yet and still no fleece!

I was paid for a September jobs (nothing for the closed shop though:()

Took two emails and there was no explanation as to why they hadn't bothered paying me.

Seems that it's a case of if you don't ask you don't get which i fin a very poor method.

I suggest you email them stating you have 7 days to respond with payment before you start court proceedings.

No, I applied for a few, but not heard nothing yet. Have you been successful? Seems quite easy to do.
