    That's why I was wondering if it was spam...

    It just means that they've not bought a proper secure server certificate, but used a free one. Unprofessional, but not dodgy.

    It may not be a problem as Tesco has the same message come up - the site for their testing of products.

    It was mentioned in Superdrug mag as another poster said so should be ok.

    If anyone gets work from them perhaps they couls post here!

  • I've been a mystery shopper with NOP Mystery Shopping (sorry don't know how to do the link) and whilst you'll never make a fortune out of it, fine if you've got lots of time. I got a lot of banks & building societies to "shop" where you pretend to ask for a loan. You've got to have a good memory as you have to complete the online report within 24 hours and they do ask a lot of questions. I don't do it much now so I'm not sure about the rate but I think it would work out at about £10 per visit and this includes travelling time, doing the mystery shop and then reporting it online.

    Sorry i'm brand new to this so I'm learning as i go. First post whooo!

    I can recommend www.retaileyes.co.uk as far as mystery shopping goes, I've done a bunch of jobs for them, mainly pub visits etc. You often get a free meal out of it, plus a job fee they pay you for doing it. Another good one is TNS Mystery Shopping - http://www.tns-global.com/corporate/Rooms/DisplayPages/LayoutInitial?Container=com.webridge.entity.Entity%5BOID%5BF381EC52095BE74F8940A122AA3824EC%5D%5D - I've done a few for them altho they don't seem to have loads on there for my area but they might for yours. I've found these two sites best overall.

    Hope this helps anyone who's interested in mystery shopping.

  • I sighned up with retail maxim and they are very good and legit company. I signed up a year ago and have regular assignments all near to me and get ten to twenty pounds for doing them. They are pretty simple and just involve shopping which i love anyway. Initally you must do a long questionaire to judge if you are capable of doing work. basic physcology stuff. this takes about half an hour but is worth it as i judge i have made about two hundred quid over the year. As you do more then they ask you to do bigger assignments. There are mystery shopping assignments at airports shops hotels and abroad as well.
    :j I sometimes give myself admirable advice, but am incapable of taking it.
