Mystery Shopping Thread 25 *PLEASE READ THE OP FIRST**PLEASE NO CLIENT NAMES OR FEES

weeg

Has anyone ever come across Insight Retail? I've had 2 pm from new users (0 and 7 post count) telling me how much they love working for them.

TBH I'd have a lot more faith in a company that emailed and said 'hey, this is my company and we're recruiting new shoppers', or just posted on the thread rather than be 'recommended' by 'people who work for them', but if any posters actually DO work for them and thinks they should be on page one I'd be happy to listen.

Or am I just being cynical?

Any idea which jobs? I changed my bank account details with them about 3 weeks ago andI'm trying to figure out if they have paid it into my old account (which I can't access online)

No that's the problem - it matches fees for several jobs but with no reimbursments - it doesn't make me want to do jobs for them tbh, the fees were low anyway - but to not pay me correctly and now to give me the run around about what little they have paid me - :mad:

What kind of payment system do you have where you can't just pull up someone's name and see what you have paid them.

I've heard of them. I was registered with them for a while, but only ever got offered work at the very last minute before it had to be done (presumably when dropped). I accepted one job at very short notice, and then needed to change it to the next day (this was an allowable date). They ignored the various emails and dumped me. It was reimbursement, no fee.

Is anyone doing the current Assosia buyback and actually found the product? I did 4 this morning, but could not find it.
Have taken photos of the store and the appropriate shelves, hoping that will be okay.

Not cynical just streetwise.

I've just had two txt messages from someone I have never heard of offering me work that was quite a bit more then the going rate, I' waiting for them to phone.

I have found the product but not in all the store I visited.

I've done one - but like you the store did not sell the product. I sent a photo of the shelf and the outside of the store to prove the visit - hopefully this is sufficient.

I visited only one store today and I did not find the product either. I could not take a photo of the shelf because there was a SA stocking up the shelves next to me. I just sent email and a spreadsheet with other codes.

When does this company pay? I did one job for them before Christmas. I could not find in my account any information at all. MSs are right about MF - their payment system (what for, when and how much) is very good.

Re Assosia - is it the 'norm' to get an email like today for example at 1:30pm requesting buybacks for today? I am not sure whether the original email has gone out to the 'select few' and have not been picked up and hence this gone out for wider distibution to the masses? Not done much with Assosia but noticed the very short notice periods and expectancy to spin on a coin...

Anyone know what MSC company the last alert is about?
