i need additional details too…. like where should i approach to get the job…
is anyone of u been a mystery shopper ever?
The skill of being a SUCKER!!!! Those Mystery Shopper help wanteds are a SCAM. They will ask you for an application fee or some other fee before you start then POOF they dissapear.
I'm thinking of being a Mystery Shopper but before I start applying I want to know if it's worth it at the end of the year. Also for now I can only do nights and weekends. Will I even be able to get any jobs?
Absolutely! I just spent the night at a hotel last weekend and had to order $50 room service! I'm reimbursed for the hotel stay and room service all for completing a survey on the internet. I've also done restaurant shops, bowling, got a free oil change, and more. One of my favourite companies in Canada is Shoppers Confidential. It costs nothing to join, you just need to pass a short quiz. Hope this helps!
I was wondering if anyone has ever been or known of anyone else that is a "Mystery Shopper" - a person that goes into stores/restaurants posing as an everyday customer - to evaluate the customer service? If so, how did you/they get that job? Any numbers or people I could talk to would be a great help.
I have also seen sights online offering "information" if you pay a one time fee of $19.95 - I am NOT interested in doing that.
Serious answers only plz.
You can go on line check Shadow Shopper.com and apply. you don't have to pay they usually pay you depending on how you work.
I just started this mystery shopper job and part of my training is to hit 2 stores and send in my reports. The only thing is on the report they want to know the managers name. How should I go about finding that out without letting them know I am a Mystery Shopper?
Some stores I shop at print the manager's name right at the bottom of the receipt.
I suppose you could do some detective work by pretending you want a job there and ask an employee who their manager is.
Most ads I see for Mystery Shoppers require you to pay and register to get started. Is this the only way to become a mystery shopper? Does anyone know of a company I can contact to get started that is reputable?
No, you don’t. There are a whole lot of scams out there that try to get people to pay money to learn how to become a mystery shopper, but just like any other job all you have to do is find someone who is hiring. Try contacting the corporate offices of several large retailers to see if they can offer you any further advice.

I’ve seen several websites for them but they all require you give a credit card number. I have read somewhere that it isn’t legitamite if they ask for that or a checking account #. I do know there are legit Mystery Shopper sites but how do I become one with out getting scammed?
It’s wise to be leery. As mystery shopping becomes an increasingly popular way to earn extra income, online scams and questionable practices have emerged, targeting consumers hungry for such work. Mystery shoppers are hired by independent “mystery-shop” firms to do undercover evaluations of customer-service-oriented businesses such as stores, restaurants and banks, and sometimes to evaluate Web sites and telephone-customer service. The firms that hire mystery shoppers keep databases of shoppers available nationwide, and when an assignment arises they contact interested shoppers in that region. The enlisted mystery shoppers survey the businesses and fill out detailed questionnaires about everything from the cleanliness of the floor to the helpfulness of the store clerk. Most assignments pay $10 to $30, though some pay more. Unfortunately, it’s gotten harder to scout out legitimate jobs amid the numerous shady practices. Several Web sites and spam emails, for instance, claim to put your name in databases used by mystery-shop firms for a one-time fee, usually ranging between $20 and $100. In truth, you needn’t pay a dime to sign up with mystery-shop firms and it’s generally not the lucrative career these services suggest, says Ron Welty, chief executive of IntelliShop, a Perrysburg, Ohio, firm that hires people to mystery shop for 115 clients across the U.S. and Canada. “I’ve yet to get any kinds of lists from those kinds of companies,” Mr. Welty adds. Some mystery shoppers can earn $25,000 a year or more, though such shoppers usually sign up with several firms and do dozens of assignments a week. “It becomes a matter of submitting good-quality work and being very reliable,” Mr. Welty says. Most mystery shoppers make less than a few hundred dollars a week. Thankfully, there’s an easy place to get on legitimate mystery-shopping firms’ lists. The Mystery Shopping Providers Association carefully vets its 200 or so member mystery-shop firms. Members cannot charge any fees and must be in business at least two years to join.

There is a section there on the forum that talks about Mystery Shopperes
I am looking for where I can find a real Mystery Shopper job that’s not fake and really does what it says. If it pays hourly even better.
Hi
I understand your pain in having to look through all the scams on the internet in order to find an opportunity that’s genuine. But recently I’ve found a site that actually says what they are going to do and works!
You won’t believe how relieved I was! I just got payed by them a couple days ago, so they do pay.
They actually pay you $10 hour to fill out simple free trials and offers. Its online so you can do it from home so its good. It takes about two hours and they comp you for any costs. I wonder how many people know about these guys?
You can visit their site at http://www.secretshooperpositions.com
Trust me they are not a scam and their customer service is really fast.
Good luck!
I was interested in getting to be a mystery shopper but, they all require me to send them money for a membership. How do I know if they're not con-artists? Is there a legitimate Mystery Shopper job out there?
I think they're all fake. I saw one in my local paper and they required the use of a credit card for the purchase of $1.95 for shipping membership material. I told them that I would pick up the materials, even though they were located in Texas, but I was told that I would have to pay the $1.95.
They were adamant in trying to get me to give up a credit card number.
Mystery shopper opportunities don't exist for the general public.
Is it possible to find a legit Mystery Shopper job, and can you make any money doing this work?
