I have a job for someone that is similar to mystery shopping. Locations will be Seattle/bremerton,Pasco, Denver, Colorado Springs, Wasilla, Anchorage. If you live in one of these areas and feel that you can do this job please reply. It requires some acting skills, scenario set up, and quick thinking. Taking pictures with a digital camera or phone camera and recording with any small recording devises may be required. You will need a cell phone to stay in touch with me. I will pay $25 per hour. I expect the job to take 2-4 hours. I will pay through paypal and I can even pay the first hour ahead if you are unsure that I will pay.

Here's what I need done. I am trying to find out if my husband is cheating on me while he is traveling. I will need you to possibly observe him and also try to entice him into a one night stand which he has done before. He swears that he has not done anything in the past 5 years, but I feel that is not true and I need to know before I move forward with a divorse as we have 3 young children. Please help me find some peace.

The job will probably include finding him at a restaurant, coming up with a reason to talk to him, flirt a little and keep him talking until you think he may be willing to "go to your place" or go up to his room if you are at a hotel restaurant(if you have morals act like you don't)After you ask him, if he says yes, tell him that you need to make a quick call first and call me. Allow him to over hear that you are telling his wife that he was about to go home with another woman, then leave. He is not at all confrontational or violent so don't worry about that. You will need to take a picture of him with a digital, preferably cell phone camera so that I know you got the right person. You can do this from a distance before you even talk to him. A cell phone for keeping in touch with me so I can give you information is a must. I also need someone who is fairly attractive, wears makeup and nice clothes so he thinks "I can't believe she is interested in me." Thank you so much for considering this.

You're a hoot, Canoli!! Hey, you might have started something interesting here!

I need a male 50-60 in NY, intelligent, creative, preferably in the IT field, but not for mystery shopping or spying.

No, you are the hoot, Sneakers!

Of course this is hardly Mystery Shopping type stuff. And is Canoli willing to pay by the hour for time needed for depositions and court appearances in what is most likely an adulterous spouse divorce situation? This is not the kind of stuff Mystery Shoppers should be involved with but rather licensed private investigators.

I know this is not typical of mystery shoppers, but it would take similar skills. I believe I could do this for someone else. I think I said I would pay $25 per hour and I am hoping that it would take 2-4 hours and if it would take more I would expect a text message or something to let me know. I can not afford a private investigator. I realize that I could not sue this person if they skrewed it up. My husband has already admitted adultery to several of our friends, but that was years ago and I gave him another chance. Now I see him telling white lies and such and I want to know if it is happening again. I don't need court testimony because he has done it before and because I am asking that the person who does this job for me get a cell phone picture and recording if possible. once I show him that I know he did it I know he will not put up a fight because that is how he is. I appreciate the responses and I hope I have cleared things up a little. If you are at all interested please let me know and I will answer all your question.

I have seen postings like this on Craigslist. Canoli, I think it is very risky for you to do this. You do not know who will respond to it but even if it is a legit person.........it could be very risky for them. Are you sure you cannot find a PI that would do this for you? Or perhaps contact the TV show, Cheaters?

I guess she was serious. Too bad, I thought it was a terrific joke.

Actually, canoli, if you can go a little older, there's a woman in Wasilla, AK who could use a little extra cash. Seems she and her business partner just messed up a chance at some really important Federal jobs.

Sarah Palin!

Just ask him who Angie is.

Cettie, What do you mean by that?

Psychic Cettie at your service. I read yout topic and the name that kept popping into my head is Angie. No, I'm not just a common looney that gets chased by goats at the zoo, I'm also a certified medium and healer as well as a Spiritualist minister.

You're too much!

Goat Queen: This is Mystery Shop Forum. Feel free to "read" my post for further clarification of my thoughts.

Don't worry Mert, I have you figured out.

Cettie, what org certifies psychics?

To be certified in our religion you must take a series of classes through the church, since my husband and I are both certified as mediums and healers. We completed the course work on procedure and proper protocol, then you need to work during the worship service ("message service" is part of each Sunday's worship service in which mediums conveys messages from spirit) for 13 Sundays and also agree to give a longer reading during a minimum of 6 Mediumship Sundays. Only when you have fulfilled the requirements set by the governing church body over us can you be presented to the church board for certification. With healing it's the same, classes, serve as a healer for 13 Sundays and be presented for approval. By the time it comes to the board vote they know you and how you work, if there is any question then they can still vote no or decide to delay approval.

Once that was completed we are only then eligible to be accepted into the ministerial program where it was every Wednesday night for two years which were taught by the ministers (we have more than one minister per church the way our denomination is set up) in which we are taught how to conduct a service, theory, special services such as weddings, funerals, baptisms and the like. We had to sit down as part of our homework and learn to write services based upon an obituary or event in the newspaper. You also had sponsors that taught you things, almost like when I was in college doing my internship, if one minister was dong a funeral you went along with her to observe first-hand and usually took part in by reading something or leading a prayer or whatever she and the family would permit. The family's needs come first and we made a special point not to intrude. We also sat in on the pre-marital counseling before a couple got married to see how it was done and to learn what legal documents had to be filed where. While in training you lead worship services, discussion groups and preside over communion services. Once your sponsors agree that you're ready you're again presented to the board for approval to be ordained. I was ordained on July 20 of this year and my husband was ordained on October 12 so now we're both legally able to perform whatever services might be necessary. Since I also have a degree in social work and counseling, it also came in handy for the interpersonal counseling part of my minister training.

Probably more than you needed to know but there it is.

I dont know why Jacob hasnt removed this by now.

Perhaps because it represents a reasonable object lesson in thinking through the jobs that are proposed. On a certain level this proposition is no more absurd than some that come from 'legitimate MSPs'. Yet it is so off-the-wall that the components of it can be evaluated without insulting an MSP or a shopper who has previously performed an MSP's off-the-wall job. Understanding the ramifications of what we do is important whether it is a cuckolding spouse or a bartender skimming the till, whether it is failing to report that the employee thanked you or reporting that the employee was untidy because you thought their hairdo was non-conforming.

Oh. I never thought of it in those terms ;-)

Which post is bestfr1303 referring to?

Canoli's, just for being on the wrong forum. But it gave us a chance to fool around, and I also learned about Cettie's interesting religion. "The world is so full of a number of things..."
