I won't do them, but.... Some of the strip clubs in my area are shopped. They reimburse something on the order of $300 in expenses... I've shopped Ferrari, Aston Martin, Lamborghini and Porsche several times..... I've gone to an international bank and posed as somebody who wants to set up an account to wire money in from some very questionable companies.... I've attempted to bribe a couple of folks.... I've posed as a buyer for a $3M home.... I've been led on an apartment tour by a drunk manager....

LOL!

I just joined....how do they pay you? Via paypal or is there a section where you can ad your bank account info?

You set up a PayPal account and they shop will pay you once you have completed it satisfactory. It usually takes a few weeks to a month or two. Some shops can take a month or two to complete.

MFJohnston - WOW! That has to be the most interesting set of experiences I've heard of recently :)


Charles - most MSPs do pay via PayPal (and you can enter your PayPal email address on your Extended Profile on iSecretShop), but some can have other payment methods, and they all have their separate payment schedules - so for anything payment related, should should be contacting the MSP that pays you :)


Cheers!

HI all,


I'm somewhat new here, but have been this type of "shopping" for many (many +) years. Getting paid all depends upon the company you accepted the shop from, make sure you read ALL of your shop prior to doing it. The terms and agreements are all within whatever you signed on for for the most part. Each company is usually a bit different, but not by much. I can remember when I used to get an actual paper check mailed to me at one point, yes, a real check, lol. Even for $2.50. Those were the days...hehe. I can't say who, as I signed a NDA(non-disclosure agreement). Now it's usually PayPal, or some electronic form of payment.


Secret shopping, mystery shopping, reveal shopping or whichever type shopping we do I believe is needed in most areas today (and yesterday) as people, workers, management and sometimes the owners in some cases, need to be aware of what is and isn't happening in their business. Just be as true as you can to the shop in any way possible. I took me a few shops to get that down once the anxiety, scariness, thought they knew who I was moment, wore off. After that it's like riding a bike. Have fun with it :) T.

I'm glad I never had that problem. At my age I would look like a dirty old man walking in there.

Hee hee that is unbelievable. What a story.


I remember the paper check days and actually even funnier...my mom used to mystery shop too. She used to have to call in the shop because it was pre-computer days. Can you believe it....
