More About Payment

??? I don't understand what you are asking.

Welcome to our newest Mystery Shopper! I can see you're well on your way in your new career as you've already made it to Step 6, Demanding Payment!

lol

Let's clarify, if you got some kind of check in the mail and you didn't already complete the job it's most likely a scam and to be avoided.

If you have already received a check then it is a SCAM. The check is no good and will bounce sky high if you try to cash. You will be on the hook when, not if, when it bounces. Real mystery shopping companies DO NOT pay in advance, DO NOT ask you to wire money to them and DO NOT pay several hundred dollars for an hour of work.

is this @#$%& a scam or what

If what you are asking is whether mystery shopping is a scam, no, there is real mystery shopping. But it is also being used as a lure by scammers who are totally unrelated to the real mystery shopping industry. There are many of us here who have mystery shopped for years and made reasonably good money at it, but it is not a get rich quick scheme which is the lure that scammers use. The current round of scams are mostly based offshore of the US, though certainly we have a few that are US based. They are playing on the old confidence game where you think you have their money and so will be helpful and do the work for quite enticing pay. Of course the scammers are in no danger of somebody walking off with the money they sent out because all those checks are bogus.

I just wanna now how to activate it please.

After reading that it is a SCAM, why would you want to know how to activate it?

Keith, take the check to the nearest law enforcement agency. If you activate and cash the check, you are going to lose a lot of money. You are the target of a common ripoff. I would advise you to not cash the check.

when do i get started

Welcome to the forum, 82289. You can start as soon as you are ready. After you have researched and decided how to run your small business mystery shopping, you can begin to apply with mystery shopping companies. After that, you can accept assignments as soon as you feel ready. This is a function of what you do and you are completely in control of when and where you start.

I will like to know how to get started and want companies to look for.

Just start reading. Everything you need to start is posted on these forums...

Shopping Bama and parts of Georgia.
I'm still learning 24/7.

Thanks for the info everyone. I got one of these checks that need to be activated and read the letter. It sounded too good to be true and it obviously was. I was offered $300 per assignment and I got to keep everything I bought while shopping. So sad that people do this. A poster above suggested taking the check to my nearest law enforcement, should I do that or would it be a waste of time?

I took a letter like that to the local RCMP detachment. They pretty much said there was nothing they could do. They said the address/ phone number etc. would be fake. Anyway, at least I informed them the scam was appearing in our community.
