Welcome to Secret Shopping! It is absolutely 100% legitimate. Sadly, as Wassim stated, there are unscrupulous individuals who are trying to scam you with fake checks and asking you to send them large amounts of money. No reputable and "real" MSP will ever do that. They will never, ever send you money and ask you to send them large amounts back.
When you browse through the available shops, you will also notice the available shops are also very reputable and recognizable companies.
Happy shopping!
Welcome, Brenda!
Please feel free to ask any questions you have regarding doing shops. A smartphone with the app makes the shop and reporting so much easier. Make sure you download the app. Also, review the instructions/directions very carefully and completely before you accept a shop assignment. Read the instructions again and again before doing the shop, so you don't miss anything.
Happy shopping!
I understand how the first few shops can be a little overwhelming at times. I have found what works best is to read the shop details thoroughly to ensure you understand the shop before requesting it. Then the night before and again just before the shop, review all of the shop details, guidelines and report so it is all fresh in your mind.
When making recorded phone calls, you need to enter the ID number of the shop when prompted, not your Shopper ID.
As for the phone call itself, if it’s for one of those Adult stores, those calls need to be made after the visit. This is written in the guidelines on the shop (PDF file attached in the shop).
If the shop was returned to you for that phone call, you simply need to complete that part of the shop. Payment is made by the MSP. The only instance when you wouldn’t be paid by the MSP is if they declined the shop.
Happy shopping!

Welcome, Demetrius!
When you are taking photos of buildings or stores, if anyone asks, just tell them you are a lover of architecture! Or, you can pretend you are taking a selfie but instead of the camera pointing at you, point it in the direction you want to take the photo. I know these are silly suggestions and I'm just being funny. I personally just take the photos very quickly and don't worry about anyone looking. How do they know I'm not just checking my texts or emails?
Hopefully, someone else will have other ideas on how to take photos and remain undetected.
Happy Shopping,
Melissa
