Yes, Irene, that happens all the time. *****But people who haven't been doing MSing do not get those mails.**** You need to be certified, or have signed up on Archon Dev or Sassie, or Shadow Shopper, or Premier Shopper, or be a good enough shopper that one scheduler gave your name to another.
You are just confusing the issue for someone who got a check, searched the net, and ended up here.
