ON this forum the MS companies (MSCs) on the list at the bottom of each page are all legitimate companies. Scammers often seek out people and send large, bogus, checks that appear to be real cashier's checks. Real MSCs NEVER pay in advance and their jobs for new shoppers are more like $5 to $15 NOT hundreds of dollars.
The more you read on this forum, especially in the New Mystery Shoppers area, the more confident you will become that there really are well over 150-200 legitimate MSCs.
