Phantom Shoppers?

Hey All!

Has anyone recently worked for Phantom Shoppers? If so, please share your experience! I received an e-mail about an awesome mystery shop at a concert venue that I would love to complete... but I can't find any recent feedback about them.

Thanks in advance!

Never heard of them.

Sounds like spam to get your bank info. Could be wrong.

Phantom shoppers is legite, but I would contact them first to see if this is a new payment option. As far as I know, they only do paypal.

I've seen some nice shops on their job board.

The email you received looked very spammy to me. A real company email would not send you a link to put in personal info like direct deposit.
It sounds like the real company needs to be told of this abuse of their name.

Hello All!

This is Brian Howard, CEO of Phantom Shoppers. Yes, we are legit and we did send an email out informing our shoppers that they had the opportunity to receive payments from us through an account with Bill.com. This is connected with our accounting system. This is optional but many have chosen to go this route. If anyone would like to sign up with us it's free through our website www.phantom-shoppers.com and you can also like us on Facebook here: [www.facebook.com]

Kind Regards,
Brian

Welcome to the Forum, Brian. Thanks for clarifying the e-mail situation from May. I had forgotten about it. BTW, I have performed two shops for your company and I have had no problems with being paid. I got paid by check - 66 days for the first one and 57 days for the second one.

I did a mystery shop for Phantom Shoppers on 2/9/13 and still have not been paid. I spent over $100.00, have left messages for both the scheduler and the company and have not received a response. I am having grave concerns about working for this company because this is the first shop I ever did for them. I also received a "10" on the shop.

I am very confused about how to get paid. I had to enter my paypal info and then also sign up for some bill.com. I see that according to the site I was paid on 6/8/14 but I have nothing posted to paypal and nothing posted to bill.com so just where the heck did they pay me?

They pay via paypal but be warned, they take FOREVER to pay. I had to keep on the owner's butt everyday for months before I received payment. This was in 2013.
