Hey I just found this website http://www.mysteryshoppernetwork.net which is supposedly a networking place for mystery shoppers. It sounds too good to be true, plus you have to pay a sign up fee. I think it's a scam, do you agree?

It is a scam. They took my registration money and I didn't make any money in return.

Anytime you have to pay them money, you're wasting it. You can gain valuable information about mystery shopping for free from the companies on-line that actually schedule mystery shops and contract out the audits. There is actually an organization (you pay to get certified through them, but browsing their website for info and links is free) called MSPA, or Mystery Shopping Providers Association. This is a good place to start if you want to be an independent contractor. The job generally takes a little bit of your own money to get started (as most reimbursements and fees are not paid to you for weeks after a job is completed), but depending on your location and your ability to compile reports, you can supplement a part-time income easily. Good luck!

Most likely as they don't really make any guarantee that you will be picked for the shopping. Plus they want you to ingest enormous amounts of emails and allow them to survey your computer through your Internet provider to see if you have opened the emails. Basically you will be totally monitored by this company without knowing whether you will be picked or not.
This is one company that you should definitely take the time to "Read the Acceptance Agreement" I'm sure that you will be shocked!

It sounds like a scam. Pay a fee?? There's the rub. Investigate first. If you can't locate concrete information about this site, best forget it.

Most online "shop for money" websites are scams. I wouldn't work for anyone who expects me to pay a fee. Don't do it.

I don't know if this is legit i never tried this site but I want you to know that not all sites that ask for money are scams. most people say that but they never try it out, because they dont want to pay the money up front. i have a lot of experience in this. check out my site http://nicolesaleh.tripod.com/index.html

I think anywhere that asks for money to work is suspicious.
look at http://www.volition.com/mysteryUSA1.html
Legit mystery shopping companies are not a newtowrk, you work fot that company and they tell you were to go.
