Online Mystery Shopping

March 24, 2015 11:11PM
Hello Everyone,

Has anyone done jobs for [www.mysteryshoppingonlinejob.com]

I signed up and have been advised of the work load and terms. I just wanted input before I started to make sure that this is not a scam or that the company does not have payment issues.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

anytime you get paid to complete trial offers = scam(ish?)

They get paid based on referrals to these things and are giving you
a percentage of whatever they are getting. The fact they have to
watermark video testimonals is bizarre to say the least.

With any company you're unsure of or can't get information about, try one shop and see how it goes and whether you get paid before doing another.

Time to build a bigger bridge.

Thanks you guys. The issue is that the first assignment involves signing up for trials and then taking screen shots of received e-mails. We are talking about 10 + trials that I would have to sign up for.

I don't mind doing it, I would just create an inbox for the SPAM but I would like to know if any of our other members have done work for them and if they have been paid.

I've never done work for them per se. So I'd be VERY LEERY. Are you able to reach someone at their company? Do they have a valid email address?

I'd certainly check them out before I wasted my time on them.

I encountered this company (or a different one with a very similar business model) when I was just starting out 7 years ago. I decided it wasn't mystery shopping. They get paid for referrrals - in other words, they get paid when you request samples. Some of the signups required payments or credit cards and although the first sample was free, you then had to figure out how to cancel each site, and often that was not easy at all. There wasn't really any mystery shopping aspect at all. No one cared if the site you signed up on was good or bad, the process was good or bad, or anything else. The screenshot was simply a way of proving that you had done it. I quickly stopped doing them. It was a nuisance at best. I am not sure that it was the same company, but the process was similar.
