The mystery shopping thread - part 4

Chollita

Is anyone with AQ? I've registered with them, but can never find any jobs, wherever I search, and they use the same system as BARE, so I can't see that I'm doing something wrong.

I currently MS for GB.

I have got an application form for TNS but was wondering if it was worthwhile applying for this. Can anyone please advise if they pay well and have good jobs?
Thanks

I like TNS, money isnt amazing, but always a couple of jobs a month with them

Let me be a bit more clear on what occurred over the weekend.

I did some work for a company, and put too much information on my posts which was an error for me, I was pulled up for it this morning via email and again, fair enough as confidentiality agreements exist and it's something I shouldn't have done.

The posts reported were from this site, so it's evidently someone who uses this thread or reads it, and chose to send them to the company rather than speak to me and warn me. Evidently miffed at the amount of work I had got or what I dont know, but it's a underhand way, my credibility is everything when I work for these companies and to have it called into question is a bit disheartening especially from a person who saw fit to c+p them to the company.

So a warning to all, just be careful about what you are posting, it's not always the company / clients that you will fall foul of, sometimes fellow shoppers who want some more cash / the lucrative jobs that you have earned by working hard will see fit to send it direct to the company in an attempt to ?????

I dont know the reasons this person had, but it's a warning nevertheless.

Sorry to hear what happened LTD, its a stark reminder of how things need to be said, there have been a few obvious hints at jobs on here and alert thread and there must be so many lurkers on these boards who do not post so we just got to watch out!!

do you use the same e mail address that is litsted in your public profile here for your ms work? you should make that private. Otherwise I don't see how the company recognised who wrote that unless it came from a moderator.
There are so many people for reasons beyond me that enjoy deliberatly causing heartache !!!:mad: :mad:
Let's see what they've gained!

Totally agree with your comments, I think by reporting you was very underhand.

Not many were offered the job so it was obvious enough who it was!

I just question why they didn't speak to me first, but putting personal gain before everything else i guess.

I've not posted on here before because I only do a couple of jobs a month for a few companies, but wondered if any of the experienced people on here have heard of ESA. A friend of mine said she works for them sometimes but I can't see them mentioned on here at all. Are they any good? Do they pay OK?

Thanks for any info you have.

Are they any good? Does anyone know? Or shouldn't I bother?

Thanks

Sorry but I do think that was underhand. I posted something last week without realising and cookinmummy posted to remind me that I shouldn't have mentioned the fee - I was very grateful for that as hadn't realised. Like you say I'd like to know what they got out of it apart from petty satisfaction. Hope everything is OK x

I did my first job for RE on the weekend - underground sandwich shop but they've e-mailed me to say "A Proofreading query has been raised on your report". Any idea what this could be? I will need to call in the morning.
