Yes.

See my post of 11/24 here under "Introduce Yourself" (Pg. 7) for some info about getting started in mystery shoping.

Hi Linmaden,

Unfortunately, there are a lot of scams out there that give the mystery shopping industry a bad name. However, you should never pay to shop. You should visit the MSPA website to learn more about shopping and reputable companies. www.mysteryshop.org

Also, I am currently seeking shoppers for the USA, Canada, and Australia - Register for free at Service Sleuth - www.mymysteryshop.com.

For additional shopping opportunities, also register at www.sassieshop.com/2kern.

Hope that helps!

If you want a free list of companies to register with (all free), they have one posted here. Just look under the thread titled "How to get started as a mystery shopper" and click on the link in Jacob's post.

Hi Linmadin,
In my humble (not) opinion, do not EVER pay to Mystery Shop or pay for lists of Mystery Shopping companies.
Free lists are available at volition.com, walletboosters.com and mymommybiz.com.
I started with Volition and Jacob has recommended the other two. They're great also.
I get alot of emails from KSSAlison@kernscheduling.com. Kern Scheduling handles many different clients and they're a good company to work for. If you haven't started applying, start there and then, keep going and going and going!
