Mystery Shopper Scams
|
|
|
Online ads for mystery shopper jobs promise high hourly wages and free merchandise. It all sounds too good to be true, and it usually is.
Many companies do engage the services of 'mystery shoppers' that work as independent contractors who anonymously visit stores and restaurants to gather customer service data for management and owners. In the search for new targets, online scammers are trying to take advantage of mystery shopping's growing popularity.
Anyone who wants to be a mystery shopper should be on the lookout for signs of inter-net scams. Reputable mystery shopping firms give applicants a test, so the supposed employer should provide some kind of screening process. Other warnings include an insistence that applicants must have a bank account and debit card or mystery shopping companies that charge a fee in order to apply as a mystery shopper; member firms of the MSPA are forbidden to charge their shoppers fees. |
