Are you asking how to know if a job is legitimate? If a job is legitimate, you will not be paid in advance and you will not receive an advance for expenses. The job will generally pay between $7.00 and $15.00 in fees, and you will not be paid until you complete the job and file an acceptable report. You will have to pay your own reimbursable required purchases up front and the company will reimburse you if the report is accepted. A legitimate company will not pay you before you file an acceptable report. You should not have to pay the company to work for them.

Start by only browsing through the "Official list of mystery shopping companies" on this forum. Do not send out your personal information to a company that requests it through email. You usually sign up directly on a secure website. Do not cash any checks, money orders, or agree to accept an Ipad, Iphone, or laptop for doing some weird type of assignment that just sounds too good to be true. RESEARCH! Put as much information into Google as you can and see what comes up.

Always get the name AND weblink through a trusted source - This forum, MSPA, Volition, and look for sites that use SASSIE, PROPHET, or SHOPMETRIC as their sign up https:// subdomain. You won't loose.

Although, one could imagine an illegal company some day using Sassie since it doesn't cost a lot to use their interface...

You can also defer your SSN or sign up for a free EIN (sole proprietor business) to protect yourself somewhat
Anyone other than me find it interesting that this person's screen name used the initials of a famous fast food chain?

My name actually makes the intials KFC lol........i thank yall so much! I am a college student and recruited to to Mystery shop at Walmart........I should have known it was too good to be true when I saw the email was from a regular domain (yahoo)......Recently I was "paid" but was given three money orders from two different sources....so like someone said I went straight to google and found out these could be fake and that a Secret Shopper corporation would not have wanted me to wire money through a Western uniion.......I am just glad I saw these forums before I went and tried to put these in my bank account!
And so are we!smiling smiley

If you want legitimate companies visit the list below. "Official List of Mystery Shopping Companies." If you want information on the specific companies there is a link next to them that will pull up all the threads.

Yes, Bestmark is the name of a legitimate MS company but note that scammers have been known to use the names of legitimate companies to try to seem legal and aboveboard. If you go to their site yourself and sign up you are indeed connecting with the real deal, if they approach you out of the clear blue sky with no prior contact on your part then run like hell.
