Yeah, I have been registered way before I received an email. Its not a scam that's for sure.

IMO, the email was from Mystery Shopping Solutions and what the email claimed was true.

However, I disagree with how Mystery Shopping Solutions conducts its business and do not care to associate with it.

Registered with them many years ago with the email address I was using for shopping at that time. Took me years to "unregister" and I never gave Mystery Shopping Solutions my current MS address.

Thus my previous comment. =)

Mystery Shopping Solutions is a legit company but I agree with Busy that Matt can be a bit aggressive with email addy collection.

In the past it was helpfully in finding companies, since he supplies addresses to those in need of shoppers. These days it's more of an annoyance since I have my short list of MSCs I like to work with & don't need emails about jobs with companies I choose to avoid.

I also had a professional (non MS) email collected, which I found annoying, but found it was simple to unsubscribe. They purge their database occasionally so you need to verify or resubmit your info every few years.

Thanks for the responses. I am going to sign up and see what I can find in my area.

I got this same e-mail and got the impression that the Mss site is trying to mirror this forum.

Happy Shopping to all.

Hey Buzz. Thanks for responding...
