HELP QUICK
I just received an email with dozens of store listings with available shops but it has an odd address ....Uashop@aol.com.
Has anybody else gotten this and is it legit. There doesn't seem to be a login place on the site and the only thing that comes up when you click the link is the list of jobs and no place to apply or email them back.
Now I am concerned that I might have let a virus or trojan into my system.
Help...help..help...

Never heard of them, never seen such an email. Do run your virus scanner if you are concerned. Check in the New Mystery Shopper area for the free software as it includes one you can download and use if you have no other virus scanner on your system.

I am always suspicious of the @aol.com email addresses. While on occasion they may be used by a scheduler, generally legit companies have email services to their server so it will be a business address rather than an aol.com or gmail.com.

It seems to be the email of Paul Sullivan at Campus Consulting Mystery Shopping, Winnipeg, Canada.

Re: HELP QUICK
A project is the job that is going to be done. Re-set work is when you re-set a display that is already set but is being changed. This can be anything from a small section to a complete store. Each job is different and requires different things. Merchandising is a job where you visit stores and complete tasks that can be anything from simple audits to major re-sets. Some of the jobs require furniture building, in-store training, cleaning, setting up displays, product repair and various other tasks. Each project may be different. Many of the jobs are quite easy but others are hard and time consuming. Some require you to visit a couple of times a week, others require a weekly visit and still others are one time projects.
