  • I will check my GfK against my records as soon as the payment history page pops up, but £128 doesn't sound too far off.

    BARE paid me (IBAN code) on 24th.

    I've just cancelled a Stamp Shop assignment because of the ridiculous scenario it's asking me to go through. I'd either look as though I needed men in white coats to come and get me, or I might as well have written mystery shopper in permanent marker on my forehead.

    Oh well, there's probably other assignments out there :)

    Sounds like the one I did the other day...I was just so glad it was some way from home and I didn't see anyone I knew..but there was a long queue building up behind me, all listening to this ridiculous string of questions...shan't do one of those again!!

    I had that question yesterday and was flummoxed! Just goes to show you should read the questionnaire thoroughly before doing the assignment :o , and be prepared to take note of everything!

    I just answered with the number of people serving, the number of customers etc - nothing else really stood out! I don't really understand what they're expecting to hear...

    "The clock on the wall behind the counter stated that the time was 14:07?"

  • I had that too, but the Gods were obviously on my side as when I commented that the bank was busy, she said - 'yes and our computers are not working properly at the moment either' :j How happy was I when she said that :D

    yeah I'd like to know too - is it your house?


    Hi - the sell and remt back scheme is were you sell your house to a company (usually for less than market value) and then you rent it back off them. Rent is usually fixed for a period of 3 years. Still haven't heared back from GFK though so not sure what the position is.

    Checked my aco!!!! this morning and still no payment from GAP. I've e-mailed them but still no reply. GRR :mad:

    Just accepted two jobs for GFK and got two telephone jobs to do today and tomorrow as well.

    NEW SERVICE AVAILABLE TO MYSTERY SHOPPERS!

    For a payment of only ten times your fee, I will walk into the stamp shop wearing a clown costume, and do three somersaults. For an extra £10 I will carry a clock and let you take my picture. This should be memorable to the staff, and will thus prove that you were in the shop at the time.

    Of course, the staff will not realise that the clown is in any way related to MSing.

    Just email your acceptance to irunamscompany@andihave3braincells.com
