I can't find any info on this company on this board. I keep seeing Market Force but not Market Force Plus - which is based in KY. I did a demo for them 2 wks ago.

I have never heard of them and they don't Google with that name. Demos are usually merchandising assignments, but the real question is "Did you find them or did they find you?" I am just hoping you didn't get scammed.

Good question! I found them through a listing on Shadow Shopper. They had a call for about 60 demos throughout the state.

I filled out all their forms for payment when done. Hope it was for real as both myself and my husband worked it.

Did you by any chance save that listing or emails assigning the work or location of a web site where you signed up? Since you weren't paid enormous sums by check prior to doing the work, there is a good chance it is legit and you may want to peruse their website to see what the payment cycle is for demos.

Still no pay!! I've left messages for them by email and by phone and get now response other than one a couple of weeks ago saying that they were processing the checks.

I think that must be a MacDonalds shop where you get to talk to Ronald McDonald and tell him that the hold up in the line was an Alien Force and gather his thoughts. (I have never seen but 2 instances where I could actually see why the line was moving slowly.) I love Ronald! He is my mentor! As for the shops, I think they are very good,

Except these were demos, not shops, and were done with "Market Force Plus" which would appear to be different than Market Force.

There is a Shadow Shopper in my area. You sign up with them and for a fee they find you MS jobs.

I have enuff problems finding my own MS jobs. I am not going to pay someone to do it. :-)

I have never heard of MFplus+.

I did a demo for market force plus about a year ago. They paid me the money they had promised for the demo, but it did take over a month to receive it. So I believe they are reputable and will pay you. It just may take a little while.

Ok, let me give you guys a little rundown on Market Force Plus. I have done business with them in the past and am very happy with them.
They are a demonstration company as well as a market research company. They are also a real estate company. diversified, eh?
The demo side has been around for several years. They are extremely short staffed, I think there are only 4 staff or so. Checks are sometimes late, but they ALWAYS pay! Sending them emails that you have not been paid will not make it happen faster. They have thousands of demo-ers and work hard to get the checks out as fast as possible. The demos usually pay about 12/hour.

The Market Research side is new and they are working hard to get it put together.

The real estate side I do knot have any info on.

As I say, I have a lot of fun doing their demos and look forward to more in my area soon.

I started this thread as I took a job for them earlier this year. Prior to doing the demo job and on the day of the job, the scheduler was readily available for questions. It was a demo job for Frito Lay and the free sample products didn't arrive at the store for the event. The scheduler asked me to do it anyway. I got word from F/L regional manager to open bags and he would credit the store for that. However, I had to pay for napkins and hair nets.

Once the job was done I didn't get any feedback about when pay would come for 30 days. I contacted several of the other demo people and it was the same for them. After 6 wks we got emails saying the checks were being cut. About 17 days later, the checks arrived.

So they do pay, they don't do follow up, but expect to wait for your money. And document all that you did from emails to phone calls, etc.
