    I've driven quite a few Porsche and even one Aston Martin. Loved the Aston Martin - it even had cold air to blow out of the seats in summer (it was a hot sticky day) and heated seats for the winter. It was a snip at £136K so I thought I'd buy 2 :rotfl:

    I think 'Laura from Devon' might have one.
    Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk

    40k? I'm just writing my letter of resignation as we speak.

    She does go on to say Laura's earnings are 'few and far between'. So what's the point of the article?

    I think I might work out how many MF bookies it would take to earn 40k.

    Its roughly 40 Bookies per day. Not inclusive of travel, printing, tax....No days off. God knows when you would get the reports done.

    Yes. It is really slow. If you click on the date and wait a minute or so, it will work. I booked one this morning and I think it took 5 minutes because I had to wait after each click.

    You'd have to do video and even then I'm earning half of that. She also made it sound like she got reimbursements on top.

    Their website just screams dodgy. On the home page it says you will win £100 and then in the terms and conditions it says they will give you £20 for completing a survey AND then if you read the feedback on the home page the first commenter said they had a £10 voucher to spend. I wonder how much they paid the Guardian to have their website address in the article?

    That article just smacks of a piece written for the journalist or a "press release" by someone scamming affiliate links and SMS services.

    Shoppers for Marketforce do not receive any recompense for their travel and, on average, get just £5 to £15 to spend during each visit, but Boydell argues the shoppers are deliberately chosen because they would be visiting those shops anyway or "are happy not being paid"

    Mf certainly are mf's, can't believe she wrote for recommendations come to this thread, the joke is, people will get the recommendations they are after.

    Another payment delay announced by Gap for up to another week. Think I'll be holding off on anything further for them this month as this is getting a bit strange.

    I see MF have loaded a load of checking WIFI hot spots in various locations. Looks quite a 'faff' for the fee and potential issues locating the hot spot spring to mind. Wonder if they will fly off the shelves....
