Mystery Shopping- Postal Address

Hi everyone..just some advice really

I would like to know if anyone has any views on postal address mystery shopping...is there anything to be weary of or is it straight forward. I have recieved an invitation from a well known mystery shopping company to join this

representative such as a mystery shopper, may use your address when giving over false details on a mystery shopping visit.
We will inform you of when this address has been used and you will be paid a £2 gift voucher for every use.
You will usually not receive any items of post to your address but, if you do, you may be asked to simply throw this in your bin or you may be asked to forward the item of post onto us using a pre-paid envelope , which we will provide to you (In the latter scenario, you may claim an extra £3 gift voucher for forwarding post).
we will continue to use your address for future visits, unless you request otherwise or inform us of a change of address.

any advice would be appreciated thx

    I had the same message - I have decided not to allow them to use my address as they gave no information as to what situations it would be used for. I was particularly concerned that it could be used for financial mystery shopping ...
