Why do they keep starting their paragraphs with the phrase "Steady speed?" Why is Martin Jones such a generically English name? Why do they only use a Hotmail address and phone number but don't provide a Web site or use a corporate email address? Why do they keep referring to the job as a vacancy (a very non-North American way of saying "job" or "opportunity")?

The first thing you should know is that this is very likely a fraudulent offer. The second thing you should know is that even if it *was* real, mystery shoppers don't earn enough to live on. You might want to consider something more suited to your skills, and not something mass-mailed to potentially hundreds of thousands of people in hopes of a couple bites.

This one sounds like a Stupid Concept if you ask us.
