Be careful of mystery shopping tends to be scams and you end up with more junk mail and end up paying to be a mystery shopper..

I’ve done it for awhile and haven’t got anything except more junk mail.

Well, there is such a legitimate industry as mystery shopping. I used to work at a company that organized in-store demonstrations and we occasionally got in a mystery shopping project as well, which I then had to assign to a specific shopper.

However, as the poster above said, right now you need to be careful of scammers posing as legitimate companies. I would say: Investigate the company itself. Look online; find the address of the home office. Find out how long they’ve been in operation.

There definitely is a lot of scamming and a good deal of criminal activity at the moment due to the obvious fact that people are more urgently looking for work than in the past (more people are out of work, etc.).

Good luck! Just be careful.
