Weird, Got Contacted by Kern Scheduling, but Never Signed up With Them

February 06, 2017 08:37AM
I am 99.9999999% sure that I never signed up with Kern Scheduling as a mystery shopping company. There's maybe a .000000000000000000000000000000000000001% chance that I did and forgot. I'm registered with about 50 right now, so it's possible I lost track somewhere along the way. But the thing is, I create a bookmark in my browser for any company I sign up for at the time I do it (also, I get an intro email from them).

I don't have an intro email, nor do I have a bookmark.

Someone from Kern has sent me emails advertising jobs.

Is this possible/weird? Do the companies share your info. with other companies? Thanks for the input!

Edited: Okay, I see it's a scheduling company and not a mystery shopping company. Even more weird!

Kern is a scheduling that signs out there services to other MSC. MCX, Service Slueth, RBG, SeeLX, and others. Check some of your sign up companies they could be your answer.

Sharing scheduling and mystery shop companies, DoNot, share profiles. You have to sign up with the other company and with Kern.

I've gotten emails from MSCs informing me that they received my coontact info from another MSC. Its possible that an MSC you are signed up with used Kern for scheduling and that's how they got your info.

If you are a MSPA member or certified through one of their courses, there is an option to have your info shared with other MSPA companies. I let them do the networking for me.

MS schedulers are often ICs with more than one scheduling company. They also sometimes share shoppers with other schedulers they know whwn trying to get jobs filled.
