    No, it's a esa client. They have 'auditors' who get first refusal on all these types of job. I'm guessing their regular person is on holiday. I've managed to end up in their pool of folk who get offered these types of jobs. The pay isn't awe-inspiring but it's regular.



    I've seen the audits recently in my area, the are easier to do than MSing IMO. I've done audits for ESA in the past but I don't have the time to commit to regular work.

    I've won on half my bookies visits, mostly small stuff, but one was a 'mama gets a new pair of shoes' size.

    Hi everyone. New to this thread - nice to have a community of MSers.

    I've MSed on and off for a few years now - only with RE/MF. I decided to do some more and, helped by the first post (thank you!) signed up with "Gyp".

    I've just submitted my first report. I didn't see anywhere to enter the code you get in the briefing. Also, I seem to remember a post saying that report submission is a 2 stage process (though I may have made that up!)- submitting the report, but then going to another section and submitting a payment request.

    I've only submitted my visit report - as I say, with no code in it.

    Any help on what else I need to do much appreciated

    Just to update, as other posters said had happened to them after being accepted, I have heard nothing from them since.


    I'm sure the OP posted in good faith but I would suggest that any further appeals for shoppers by the MSC are taken with a pinch of salt.

    I'm actually signed up with an address in a larger city in Berkshire and regularly get offers from them actually... Got nothing for ages from them when I was based in London.

    There is a load of chilled drinks audits which have appeared to be done on a certain date for ESA. Guessing the regular auditor is on holiday as not seen the before. Like yourself not able to commit to regular weekly jobs.

    I am regularly in two of those counties and have been signed up for a year. Except being accepted as an assessor I haven't heard anything from them.



    Less than two months ago you posted this so I'm glad you are now receiving offers of work.

    I can see the chilled drinks ones as well. They must all holiday together.

    Yup. They sure have quite a few jobs here actually... And they seem reasonable as well. I've just been to busy with other things so far. but one day... :-D

    Does anyone know if there is a way of clearing jobs on the ESA board that you are not interested or restricted from doing? There are pages of phone jobs which I am not able to do as have done all the phone scenario's.

    Normally there is so little on the board that this is not normally an issue...

    Hi,

    welcome to the thread! If the form didn't ask for a code its fine. My last one didn't need a code either but the next one might, I think its just a glitch with their system. If you were able to submit the results that's all that matters. :)
