Helion -- Request for Recommendation

Today I received an e-mail from someone at Helion asking me to write a recommendation on their LinkedIn page. I was appalled for a couple of reasons: first, I haven't heard from them since I did my first and only shop; secondly, they short changed me, without explanation, by $8 for the shop (that cannot be explained by a change in the exchange rate which they should eat anyway). Communicating with them about issues with the shop was near to impossible and they want me to recommend them? I think not.

Anyone else get that request?

Wow the company who cannot pay in US dollars and shorts EVERY time?
No way I would five them a recommendation.

Bad company...shame on them.

Live consciously....

I got that email but why would I identify myself as a shopper to others? Hence, that is why it is called mystery shopping.

I have applied for many shops with the company. Each and everytime I get a message indicating the shop is no longer available. That is after getting an email asking for help to complete the shop. I stopped searching their site.

Yeah remember a few months back when they were all about - we have many upcoming shops in US and please apply, etc. etc. I jumped all their hoops and got nothing. And nothing if I try to contact them. And I should recomend them based on what?

This is that same company that outed one of "our" posters, because he did not want to understand the rules of the a shopper. And they had a age limit to a majority of their shops.

The CEO would gooogle your name and find out what he wanted to know and say, "Your too old, too fat, too thin, and too bowlegged to shop for us, but when we find a client that wants those demographics, we will call/ema you."

Oh, yeah, I remember them. too.
