1. MSPA Spoof: mspa-worldwide.biz

If you've been here before, you've probably seen us explain that offers containing the phrase 'shopping and dinning out' are quite prevalent here. That's because they're bogus. This isn't the first time someone's tried to align themselves with...

Sorry to disappoint the scammers, but we caught 'em red-handed. We thought some of the phrases in this message sounded kind of familiar, and sure enough, we were right. Look at what we found when we

3. Mystery Secret Shopper, Dennis Hunt of Poland

Nothing professional about this mystery shopper offer, which comes from a foreign land. You might not realize it at the outset though, because the sender forged the headers (illegal) to make it look like it was sent from Gmail, when it was...

4. International Service Check

This company would make a really crappy employer considering the very first question they ask after the first paragraph is YOUR NAME! If the sender doesn't even know you, it's not a good idea to send your precious and invaluable personal...

5. Spoof: David Allen Enterprises

The company is real, but the sender of this job offer is a scammer, because the message originates from Nigeria. Scammers who spoof legitimate companies usually throw in real web site addresses to make you feel like you can do your due...

6. Mystery Company - Jeff Lawson

Several important things are wrong with this offer:     1.  No company name mentioned.     2.  Uses free Yahoo Hong Kong email instead of corporate email address.    ...

7. Retail Track Mystery Shopping & Consulting

GRRRR...we'd like to smack these people with their stinkin' dead piece of phish job offer, which is pretty scary. They want to send you $4000 to 'evaluate' Western Union or MoneyGram (apparently they have no preference) by wire transferring all...

8. PYC Mystery Shopper LLC

Just another bogus money transfer/mule offer masquerading as a mystery shopper offer. We know this because the headers show the email originated from Nigeria, home of the money mule scam. These scams, originally known as '419' or advance fee...

9. Alt field Inc

This message originates from Nigeria according to the headers, so we don't want you to waste your valuable time or personal information on these people. Their only goal is to rob you. This is one of those mystery shopper offers that doubles as...

10. SecretShoppersOnline - Mary Spencer

Looks like someone else's email might have been compromised in the the sending of this bogus offer. Headers are spoofed and there is no opt-out, so beyond being a bogus job, it's also legally spam. We find it interesting that they won't...

11. 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...

12. 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...

13. 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...

14. 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...
