1. Discreet Surveys

Charming. This is a bogus mystery shopper job masked as a 'survey' job. They want you to send personal info to a free Live.com email account. They don't have a corporate email address, not that it would help. Bottom line: this request...

2. Tommerset Textiles Industry

Okay, first of all, why is a textile company asking you to be a mystery shopper at all these stores? We suppose that at first glance they might be trying to convince you that their products are in these stores. So let's move on. The hiring...

3. About Face Concepts Inc.

Spam filters didn't catch this one, so we're glad *WE* did! This was sent unsolicited to our very own CEO, who has never been a mystery shopper or expressed an interest in BEING a mystery shopper. The message is unsolicited, was sent by an...

4. Radiant Marketing Solutions Group

We don't recommend responding to offers from people who contact you from the Philippines. The person who reported this offer received it unsolicited. So although it seems as though some sort of contact was previously made, this is just a way...

6. Mystery Company - Chun Chi

Google clearly recognized that this message was NOT sent from job.com as claimed (see headers). That makes this a forgery -- spam -- and that's illegal. We could go on to tell you all the other mistakes, like the lack of company name, Web site...

7. Opinion Research Poll LLC (ORP)

These scammers are complete morons. They solicit as though you'll be completing online surveys, but once they've hooked you, they basically just want to give you a bogus mystery shopper gig. One of the BAD mystery shopper gigs we so often...

8. Clark Wolfe

What can we say that you haven't heard us say every other time? How stupid it would be to respond since they don't even mention their company name? How Mystery Shopper jobs aren't really very good ways to earn money to begin with? How...

9. Shopper Alliance

This is one of those offers that could easily trick you because if you do a Google search for "shopper alliance" you'll find a site. Does that make this offer legitimate? No way, man! For example, do you think the legitimate company,...

11. Obat Service Concept

You probably shouldn't respond to mystery shopper offers that only give you a free Gmail account for replies. Think about it for a sec. You haven't got a clue who this person is. Do you really think it's a good idea to give a total stranger ANY...

Do they have The Gap, Wal-Mart, Pizza Hut, and Bank One in Russia? Because that's where this email offer originated. So ask yourself...doesn't it seem odd for people in Russia to be hooking you up with secret shopper jobs? Wouldn't you feel...

They don't have a Web site or use a corporate email address. The email originates from France but they claim to be in downtown New York city. Riiiiight... If you browse through some of our other mystery shopper scams you'll see what has...

15. Premium Shopping Service

The email originates from the UK according to the IP address 217.37.27.149 in the headers, which is odd considering they claim to be in California. Chances are good they're spoofing a real mystery shopper company by that name, since they cite...
