    Market research companies hire mystery shoppers to visit retail businesses and evaluate the quality of service. Recently, many directories listing mystery shopping opportunities have been revealed as scams--charging the shoppers to join and then never providing work. If you want to be a mystery shopper, it is very important to do your research.

    I asked ESA for £3 mileage today for a visit that someone kindly dropped. The lady said no. "But you can have £6 if you want" she said. !!!!!!!

    Has everyone been paid by RA? I did shed loads of work for them and nothing has come through. I guess they will pay me randomly like they normally do.
