Where do I find the "get verified" link to try it out?
Hi Amy,
If you are interested, simply log in to iSecretShop.com and over on the left there is a link called Age & Identity Verification. Click that. There is a one-time fee of $9.98 to run the check - you then confirm all the information is current and correct before you do so - and then your profile will be officially verified and you will be notated accordingly.
Note: This system is currently only operational for shoppers in the United States. Shoppers in Canada will not see this option on their profiles.
If the get verified feature doesn't work for you, you can always upload your drivers license or ID and most MSP's will see that and know that you are a verified shopper for them.
Keep in mind that you can deduct the cost of the verification as a business expense on the Schedule C of your federal tax forms. This is the form you file to deduct business expenses from the income you receive as a mystery shopper. Any business deduction helps reduce the taxes you may owe as a mystery shopper!
I haven't looked into this, but that's great news if that's the case! :)
I am a little concerned about this process. When I applied I must have answered a question incorrectly. The system started asking very personal questions about not only me, but about my family as well. My family has nothing to do with my shopping and the system does not have the right to question me about them or what they do.
I DON'T TRUST IT!
Hi David,
The service used relies on Public Records information. If there is a perfect match between the information provided by the shopper and the corresponding public records, the verification is immediate. If there is an imperfect match, the service scours Public Records and presents Challenge Questions to help determine and confirm proper identity.
Once again - this service is entirely optional. If the applicant does not want to answer questions necessary to complete the verification process, they are welcome not to.

Susan -
Money can be made mystery shopping....I pull in over $2K each month while working full time in my profession. I have done over $2K in a week when I am off work. However, it takes time to make connections, etc.
What's your secret and where are you located? I'm in GA and I do 10-15 assignments weekly and I am not making that kind of money.

I am in Washington State, but there are just as many (if not more) opportunities in Georgia. It's not really a secret:
Thank you so much for this information. It makes sense and I will implement.
