I know there used to be a paid service called ShadowShopper, but it had to close down (pity!) and besides, they say the jobs posted on SShopper had a tendency to already be taken by other mystery shoppers. (Source). November 21, 2020

It's similar to the closed down Shadow Shopper site (except Mystery Shop Solutions does not charge MSCs or shoppers for its services at the time of this post). (Source). June 19, 2020

It was sent to an email address I had used on an Archon site, not Shadow Shopper. (Source). May 22, 2020

the copies I have from him in my spam folder, he has sent to at least 4 of my email addresses, so he's clearly sending to more than just the Shadowshopper mailing list. (Source). May 19, 2020

With Shadow Shopper closing their doors, I completely understand why MSS is doing what they are doing. (Source). May 13, 2020

So now even valid emails he sends may be considered spam. And I couldn't be happier. BTW in searching my email for ShadowShopper, i see that two companies forwarded Matt's information to me themselves about a month ago. (Source). May 06, 2020

Since when do MSC give out our email addresses for other companies to market their services. This is a privacy issue indeed. Hello Mystery Shopper, After the shut down of ShadowShopper, we at Mystery Shopping Solutions have started an effort to give Mystery Shopping/Scheduling companies an alternative for when mystery shopping can go back to normal(after the Covid19 virus).
