I'm sure the forum rule came about because most Mystery Shopping companies you sign up with have a clause in their Independent Contractor Agreement not to reveal the identity of their clients. Here is an excerpt (with MSC redacted to protect confidentiality) from one:
"Finally, you agree not to disclose the names of [MSC's} clients, the location of the assignments, or any information gathered during an assignment to anyone other than representatives of [MSC]."
They also usually have, as this one does, a clause that also prohibits you from revealing information found in the guidelines and reports. This is usually due to proprietary information.
Finally, there are representatives from MSCs that read this board so you would never want to reveal a client and risk being deactivated from that company.
I personally wouldn't even name past clients as you did above because one could argue that information was obtained during an assignment (see above clause).

Post removed. Naming client and MSC, past or present, is a forum violation. Additionally, it may be an ICA violation.
