Welcome. Have you, by chance, receive a large cashier's check. If so, do NOT cash it. That is a scam and not at all how MSers are paid. We have to sign up with a number of MS companies (MSCs) and apply fpr specific jobs. New MSers mostly get fees of $5-10 and we ALL are paid long AFTER the jobs are completed. About 14 to 90 days later. NEVER in advance.
Very experienced and reliable MSers sometimes can earn higher fees, like $60 to $100.
Please go to the New Mystery Shoppers area of the forum (There is a link near the bottom of the page.) and read, read, read the topics that are pinned to the top of the list there.
