Ellis and I get along like cat and dog. To use a fake name is wrong. We are mystery shoppers, not mystery liars. If you are operating with in the time frames allowed (waiting 6 months) the agent will have changed over 5 or 6 times). AND, get this, YOU MUST leave your driver license with the rep when leaving for an apartment shop. They will see that you name given and the name on the license and the name and address they will send the card to is different. When there is a problem, guess who does not get paid. YOU DO NOT GET PAID, but they would!! Ya wonder if some companies might do that ....... on purpose. They get paid, you do not. hummmmmmmm
