I applied and did the interview with a lovely guy. He then sent me a list of resorts that were available and asked me to pick up a date where I could go, promising of course to pay for flights and other expenses. There was no mention of the shop fee or reimbursement limit. I asked twice if I could see the guidelines and a sample survey before committing to any date. The person never sent anything, but offered to hop on a call to share his screen to show me the survey. He ended up telling me he could not send me the guidelines or a sample survey by email. I said I was not interested and moved on. If you're willing to pay for my flight and expenses but can't send me guidelines, there's something wrong.
Very strange. I also met with someone who seemed legit and said I’m considered on their short list. However, I agree- I would need to know all the guidelines and samples before taking any shops.
Charl, sounds like they're going to have a "package" for you to transport for them. Maybe I've watched too many Locked Up Abroad episodes, but many had the same theme.
I looked over their website and found it too generic to be trustworthy. No actual names of anyone involved in hospitality, or actual clients listed...so it felt too suspect to contact them. There are also some reddit posts about them contacting people a year ago and not coming through, or it being a fiasco and them walking away.

Their LinkedIn also claims they are based in Spain, but the employee names...let's just say they don't seem to be Spanish. Another search shows an office in Singapore. All very suspicious. They are not big enough to be hosting an actual office in the locations they report to be in.

So my understanding is that it's either a scam or a fiasco. 10 foot pole either way. Have yet to see any evidence of someone who actually completed an assignment for them and posted about it anywhere. Legit MS companies are not in LinkedIn casting a net for MSers in my experience. They would probably take the usual route and go through local schedulers if they were legit.
I have lived several decades espousing I would rather try and fail, than to wonder WHAT IF, this is definitely an exception. With Steve's background, if he has determined this is a "no go," it is definitely a NO GO!
