I was reading about the mystery shopper and it seems like something I would like to do. Any feedback would be nice or names of other Mystery Shopper companies.
Hi, I can help you with that. I’ve done it all the time and It is a lot of fun. You get paid to shop, eat out, and perform other tasks to make sure that companies are good to their customers. You shouldn’t have to pay for a list at all. I do it a few times a week so I can guarantee the companies that I worked with are legit. Some of the shops pay pretty well too.

I live in the San Diego CA area and am very very interested in becoming a Mystery Shopper. Yet, most of the sites I see require you to pay to become one. So, are there sites that don't require you to pay to become a mystery shopper?
I'm not sure about being a mystery shopper, but you can become a Passion Party Consultant! You are your own boss, make an unlimited amount of money. And its low cost to start. I am a Passion Parties Consultant and I love it! I make my own schedule, make more money than most of my peers. contact me if you want more info. pami@pamsplaythings (I also have ways that it won't cost you anything to start up)

I have seen on the internet. Job in your area Mystery Shopper, however they always want you to do a dumb survey. Does a position like this really exsist.
My best advice is never pay to be find work. Mystery shopping does exist but its not as easy as some sites make it seem visit these two websites for more information
http://mysteryshop.org and http://volition.com
Browse around both sites look for forums and information it will become invaluable if you are serious.

Only to the people who are mystery shoppers. I'm looking for one that is free to register for and allows you to shop retail stores and restaurants.
All legitimate mystery shopping companies allow you to register free at their Web sites.
I recommend that you apply to many (at least 20, maybe more) companies to get started. This is not a full-time job where you work for one company. You will be a contractor and will get assignments from many different mystery shopping companies. However, some of the companies to which you apply may never offer you any assignments. It is almost impossible to know which will have the most mystery shopper jobs available in your area.
You can find companies by doing a Web search for "mystery shopping companies" and similar terms. Another source for finding legitimate companies is the Mystery Shopping Providers Assocation. None of their members charge a fee to mystery shoppers. (See link below.)
Mystery shopping can be fun, but remember that it is also important work. The businesses you shop depend on you to produce quality, timely reports. Do a good job (e.g., do assignments correctly, turn in well-written reports) and you will be in demand.
Happy shopping!

Particularly in South Florida. I do know the positions exist because an agency I once worked employed shoppers to validate that stores were properly handling their product and customer coupons. There would have to be an element of organization and recordkeeping that was required to be a good mystery shopper and send back accurate sample data to company. I think I'd be good at this. Any ideas on finding these positions?
Your organization and recordkeeping skills will make you an excellent shopper. You also seem to have good writing skills. Here are some tips to get started and be successful as a mystery shopper.
Do not pay to apply to any company. Legitimate mystery shopping companies do not charge shoppers a fee.
Apply to many mystery shopping companies. You never know which companies will have a need for shoppers in your area. A company that does not have a demand for shoppers in your town today could see that change if they land a new client tomorrow.
Be willing to pay your dues. The first jobs you are offered will not be high-paying or glamorous; however, when you show that you will do a good job, you can become eligible for better assignments.
When you accept a shop, do it. New shoppers fail to complete their assignments about 75% of the time. Just by doing what you agreed to do, doing it right and doing it on time, you can make yourself stand out.

Why do you have to pay money to join a Mystery Shopper program? I mean you don't have to pay money to get a normal job in a warehouse or a hospital or even the police department?
You can join shadow shopper for a 5 buck trial for 30 days. IF you find lots of jobs, then u can sign on for the $60 membership. I tried it just because it was $5 and actually made $120.00 on my first job, which was at 6 or 7 different sites for the same company so it was all on one check and this place paid quickly. Well, i joined in feb so i missed canceling my membership by 1 day so had to pay the $60 but made about $500 last year mystery shopping, so i guess it was worth it. Plus you can write it off as a work expense on your taxes.

I tore off some offers to become a Mystery Shopper or movie extra but when I called it asked for my name, address, and phone number. I gave them the information to contact me back. The offers stated I could become the next Bill Gates. Has anyone tried these type of jobs? Was the pay worth it?
Being a movie extra may net you $30-$60 a day. If you work every day for about 3.5 to 7.5 million days, you will earn as much as Mr. Gates already has.
The only way to make money from “Mystery shopping” is to sell mystery shopping opportunities to suckers who think you can get paid to go shopping!

I really wish i could figure out a way to work as a game tester or a Mystery Shopper. any suggestions?
I suggest first learning about how games are made, and then getting some internships…. And so on. If you work for a company, then such as EA, you can become a paid tester, and a lot of testers are supposed to be people under company wraps… i.e. can't talk too much about it… lol.

I got an unsolicited letter from them with a “too good to be true” offer to be a Mystery Shopper. I can’t find anything about them through Yahoo or Google. Anyone heard of them?
I myself had received a letter to be a “Customer Service Evaluator” on Nov. 5th with a check written out by FleetNet America, Inc for $3,485.00.
Did my web searches and found out that there is no such company. Digitalex is not even a member of American Survey Organizations which they claim they are a division of it. Fleetnet America is overall in different industry of what this company claims to be. Fleet provides roadside, towing/recovery, total maintenance care, and vehicle securement.
Obviously, this is a recruiting tactic of hoodlums that are trying to get into someones bank account. Beware and hope this helped.
