Yes, it is a scam. No mystery shopping company sends a check in advance. Let me guess, it's for thousands and you are supposed to be paid $200 per assignment. Most mystery shops pay in the $5 to $15 range.

Hi Lisa, thank you, that really helps me alot. I checked out their address and it appears that they are not existing and the guy that i talked with was rude. How can i be a mystery shopper?
You've come to the right place for legitimate mystery shopping. There is a ton of information here including a list of official mystery shopping companies which can be linked at the bottom of each page. In fact, there is a real company named Bestmark. It is an unfortunate part of the all the scams, they often use the name of a legitimate company to help fool victims. It makes that company a victim too.

In this new mystery shopper area are a bunch of "sticky notes." They stay at the beginning of the forum so you can read and refer to them. There is information on everything from equipment to taxes. Grab a cup of coffee, read those and feel free to ask questions. That's what we're here forsmiling smiley

I do not know if that is going to matter, but I would warn the real Best Mark (maybe sending them a scan of the check). www.bestmark.com
By now every legit MS company will have a page dedicated to these kind of scams. Be very careful, if it is too good to be true, then it is not true!
