Mystery shopper jobs might be a tempting offer to all those who love to spend hours together shopping. After all, if given a chance, almost any person would want to earn money while being able to purchase an item at a pricey store, eating at a nice restaurant, or checking into a fancy hotel.
The Internet is the right place to start looking for mystery shopping jobs. However, it is very important to do some research before falling for any mystery shopping job offer. There's no reason why a person should pay a registration fee to get on a mystery shopping list.
Most mystery shopping companies offer legitimate positions that, at best, offer part time work. However, a stay at home mom or someone short on income finding mystery shopper jobs can be offered within his or her region. This could be a win-win situation for both parties.
Here's how mystery shopping works. Big companies (many of them Fortune 500 corporations) hire marketing research companies to evaluate the service of their company. In turn, these marketers hire "mystery shoppers" to go make an assigned purchase. After they review the experience, they get reimbursed and get to keep the product.
Basically, a mystery shopper or secret shopper is required to check the performance and service of retail businesses. In turn, they are reimbursed for meals, products, or services.
All of these options are viable sources of income. However, like paid surveys, mystery shopping industry is also not spared by scam artists. It is easy to identify the scams. On just needs to stay away from sites, ads or mystery shopping programs that charge money for registration and promise to turn up with some exciting mystery shopping offer. Also, the fraud companies do not have genuine addresses, customer support or definite terms and policies.
All one needs is Internet access and an e-mail with a PayPal account. Then one can get on the road and enjoy a free night out on the town shopping, eating, or going to the movies.
