So back to the gig. Are the majority of recipients really going to go ballistic, pull a weapon, take a hostage, or otherwise endanger the mystery shopper/delivery person? Probably not. But people who believe that recipients are going to go ballistic are going to shy away from this gig and possibly carry a lifelong unsupported belief about strangers. We are supposed to be objective. Is this happening? But this is not the most interesting. part of the job.
For me, the most interesting aspect of the gig is the payment. This sounds like a messenger job with a twist. Regional pay for messenger service + fee for a few pics = a reasonable payment. YMMV.

I recently mailed a letter to my insurance company....Certified AND Return Signature......total cost: less than $6.00 via USPS....why couldn't We Go Look just send a certified/return signature to the person for half of what they are asking someone to do that is risky??? I'd never do this job.

We go look is not a mystery shopping company. It is a crowd sourcing company.

I've gotten calls from debt collectors who wanted me to go to a neighbors house and see if they were home. I've always said, do it yourself.

The VIN! That's invasive. Wow, it really does sound like a job for a private investigator. I am glad you survived those experiences and decided not to put yourself in those possibly-dangerous situations anymore.

They just start calling people in the neighborhood, hoping to find someone to do it.

In my state, that would be considered a privacy violation if the collector in any way discussed the business of one party with another without consent.

I was just unsure how they are obtaining people's phone numbers. That seems really strange to me.

Such a letter could be mailed. But the bank doesn't want to mail it. In a last-ditch effort to prevent foreclosure, they want to shake the recipient up by having the letter hand delivered. That's the job. Go out there and shake the person up. For $12.
