Yes, it is a scam using the Secret Shopper name. The real Secret Shopper website is [www.secretshopper.com] and they do have a link about scams.

First, they would NOT ask you directly for your information, they would have you go to their website to register.

Second, the amount of pay for a job to an unknown shopper is not realistic.

Third, the phrase "We await your urgent response." is totally unrealistic for any solicitation for new shoppers. Companies rather take a position that they are doing US a favor by allowing us to register.
Another SCAM email:heads up.......no such address in Seattle(don't be messing with a postal employee such as I... grinning smiley )

My name is Michael Curtis. I would like to know if you would like to work for our company, LMB, and get paid without it affecting your present job.
We need representatives who can conduct surveys and evaluations.

LMB conducts surveys and evaluates other companies. Our representatives pose as customers in order tolearn how a staff relates to customers. Once we have a contract to do so,you would be directed to a company or outlet and given the funds you would need to do the job, either purchasing a product or requesting a service. You would then write a detailed report on the staff's performance.
Examples of details you would forward to us are:
1)How long it took you to get the service.
2)How the attendant related to you.
3)Customer service professionalism.

We submit the information to the company executives and they would carry out their own duties on improving their services. Most companies employ our assistance when people complain about their services, or when they feelthere is a need to improve their customer service.

Your identity would be kept confidential as the job states (secret shopper). You would be paid $200 for every assignment. Funds would be given to you if you have to dine as part of the duty. Your job would be to evaluate and report on customer service in a wide variety of stores, restaurants, and service establishments in your area.

LMB SURVEY DOES NOT CHARGE A FEE AT ANY STAGE OF THE RECRUITMENT PROCESS (APPLICATION, PROCESSING, TRAINING OR ANY OTHER FEES). If you have received a solicitation for the payment of a fee, please disregard it. You do not require any special skills to work with us, however in order to apply for this job you need to ensure you have access to your e-mail address at least three times daily and reply to our e-mails promptly.
