Many of us do shops for IPSOS, some of which require advancing funds to cover expenses. I have not had any problems getting paid by them, but if you have proof that "they are drowning in debt and going out of business", please provide a link. I can't find anything online that would substantiate that dire conclusion, but I am also not in a position to blithely ignore a warning in as much as in February my check from them was for over $1,000 So, please provide a link to site or sites that led you to believe this. Also, I have not had a single problem with their smart phone shops. Very easy to report, IMHO. The appliance shop form still has problems, however.
IPSOS is a publicly traded company on the Paris stock exchange, has a P/E ratio of about 10, and a market capitalization of over a $1Bn dollars. I don't see any red flags. Their revenue in 2015 was about $2 billion dollars. What issue did you find? I did not see any hint of questionable business ethics. Here is a link to their balance sheet on Yahoo Finance: [
finance.yahoo.com], again, I don't see anything to suggest that "they are drowning in debt and going out of business."

I have nothing good to say about IPSOS. From my experience in completing one smartphone shop and never gotten a reply for why the report form is not accessible and the other smartphone shop being deleted I am lucky I deleted them. They are drowning in debt and going out of business. My mantra, mystery shopper beware. I have started doing research on these companies before I do any work. Many have questionable business ethics.
Shopping Southeast Pennsylvania, Delaware above the canal, and South Jersey since 2008
