    Has anyone used OB Mystery Shopping? I signed up initially, but the woman wants a photo, a signed disclaimer posted by snail mail, and I'd have to invoice them after each shop. I asked why they needed a photo and the woman basically just said there was no real reason, she was just nosey, but it was still a requirement. Oh and she wants me to add her as a friend on Facebook :rotfl:

    So in short, my initial reaction was 'no thanks!', so just wondering if anyone is with them and if it's worth the hassle?

    I don't see it's that much hassle? There is nothing unreasonable in asking for a photo and most companies have a disclaimer, just because she wants it posted to her why does this worry you?? And plenty of companies ask you to invoice them at the send of jobs, especially the smaller ones which dont have a fancy website which keeps track of things.

    It's obviously up to you but I'm signed up with them and have never had any problems. Oh, and I'm friends with Jo on Facebook as well!!!

    Jo is a lovely lady. I can think of far worse companies to work for!! Photo requirements are the norm now a days and as for invoicing after each job...at least you never get a backlog of work to catch up on!!
