The allegation that the client accepted the shop was not rebutted. I'm curious whether or not SS was indeed paid for the shop by the client.

I agree with Cali's post from a few posts back. I read Tracy's response about "breaking confidentiality" as meaning that the OP had contacted the MSC's client in an effort to get paid for the shop. Contacting the client directly is a definite no-no. The OP of this thread has not denied contacting the client so my suspicions are that he/she did.
Mmmm......a lesson in basic respect if I may? Don't tell a shopper to cease and desist on a public forum like this. Doing such does not reflect well upon yourself or the company you represent. That is all.@tracy@servicescouts.com wrote:
BYUBoy-
As indicated to you in several communications- you did not follow the requirements for the shop. Then, you violated your shopper agreement by breaking the confidentiality clause. This is why you are not being paid. Again, as indicated in several communications.
Please cease and desist.
For you and me both...@JASFLALMT wrote:
I sure am glad I found this thread and the other one regarding Service Scouts. 100 mile long pole for me.

BYUBoy Tracy mentioned that you violated the agreement. You stated in one of your statements that the Client got paid. How would you know that if you didn't get in touch with the client? I think that is where she is coming from.
I would never base whether or not to work for a company based on someone else experience. I do believe that a lot of us feel that way. I have not worked for Service Scouts I don't believe they have shops in my area. Massachusetts
I like your take on this and I couldn't agree more.@Jay C wrote:

shopper8, I agree with you. Tracy thinks BYUBoy contacted the client because he said he *knew* Service Scouts got paid. Think about it. If Tracy thinks he contacted the client because he says he *knows they got paid* she is confirming that Service Scouts actually got paid!
If the client did not pay Service Scouts, why would Tracy believe BYUBoy contacted the client when he says he knows they got paid? If the company did not get paid, the appropriate answer would have been "We didn't get paid. Why would you believe we got paid?" But NO. When he states SS got paid, Tracy immediately thinks "He contacted the client and he knows we got paid!"
BYUBoy actually told us in his posts that he did not contact the client. He says he just made an assumption that Service Scouts got paid. That may be true and it may not be. But It speaks volumes that it appears that Service Scouts DID get paid and chose not to pay the shopper. Tracy's assumption that BYUBoy must have contacted the client in order to find that out sounds like confirmation.
I also would never base my decision on whether or not to work for a company on someone else's experience. I would base my decision .on statements made by the company itself. And, based on Tracy's posts, this is a company I won't consider working for.
Isn't that the purpose of this forum? There are some companies that I have signed up with as a direct result of reading about other shoppers' experiences and others that I will never bother with for the same reason.@shopper8 wrote:

I don't base my business practices on one bad review/negative post whether it is a newbie or a seasoned shopper.@PasswordNotFound wrote:
Newbie1's post might carry an ounce of weight in my decision, but there are those here whose wisdom is considerably more valuable. One negative post from them is enough for me to steer clear.
