    Glad it was an easy query for you.

    I've still got a few assignments to do before Xmas - one tomorrow, 2 wed, 6 over weekend, five next week.... hope I get paid for them before Xmas too!


    busy bumble bee ! :eek: :beer:

    think the cut off date is round the 15th of the month for most of the companies :confused: so you should be ok for the ones you do before next friday :):confused:

    Hi wonder if anybody can help. I have just accepted my first mystery shopper assignment for friday however I have e mailed the company as they have requested a copy of a bank statement for the assignment but I do all of my banking on line so I have no 'paper' statement. Has anybody else had this problem and if so what did they do about it.

    Many thanks

    My hubby was reading me an article over the weekend from The Guardian about an internet scam using mystery shopping.
    This dodgy company basically sends you a cheque for 2000 quid and requests you wire it to Canada. The scam ensures their cheque doesn't go through and you end up being 2 grand down!!!!!

    So be careful peops because some folk have fallen for it!!! ;)

    I have never been asked to do that by an MS company thus far so better to be safe than sorry... are they on the list of companies provided by forumer/tea rooms etc?
