Newbie for Mystery Shopping

Has anyone heard of a company called Tolson Market, I have just applied and immediately received an assignment. This was without any questions as to my suitability, only age, sex, address and further questions of car etc.

With the assignment came a request for my bank account details, which I am naturally wary of giving out, should I start a separate account?

I scanned the list of companies on this site but they do not appear, help/advice would be gratefully received.

    Yes start another account with nothing in it and no overdraft. Not even a direct debit facility just a simple savings account into which money can be deposited.

    edit: Did they offer you an assignment in the UK? The T's and Cs look very American to me.

    :p Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) :p Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. :p
  • I've never heard of Tolson Market. I think it's wise to open another account with nothing in it and no overdraft. I did this when I started doing paid surveys.

    I am not aware of this company but the website address is in the Netherlands, you will get a better response posting on the large thread dedicated to mystery shopping at the top of this forum.
