I've been a secret shopper since Aug of '08. My friend got caught up in a scam secret shop assignment and I decided to hunt them down and get them gone. I found them and worked for almost 6 months to get them shut down without getting caught in the scam myself. It worked, they are done. I've since got 4 more scams shut down. I guess I've gotten pretty good at this. I'm still looking for the scam companies, cause we all know they are still out there in force. But, because of my friend I've found 100's of legit companies and have worked for them all. I truely love being a Mystery Shopper.
