Does anyone know how Mysterious Shopper work? Is it a trap?

Answer 1

You're being hired to go into an establishment to purchase items,ask questions,and take notes on the service You get.then write up a report an send it back to base.
It depends on the facilities available in Your area-You may not want to travel 100 miles for a shopping trip..
Avoid any service that's asking You for money up front.It's a Job-You get paid,not them!

Answer 2

A mystery shopper is someone who comes in and acts as a regular customer and sees how the work environment is, how the employees treat the customers and how effectively they do their job. I have experienced a secret shopper several times and I have received perfect scores each time. They usually do it like once a month and there is usually an incentive for the employees such as a small bonus or a little bit of extra money for doing a good job. Basically the company hires them to make sure they have the right employees that will do the best job for the company.

Answer 3

If you are getting emails in regard to hiring mystery shoppers, I would be very cautious about them. Many of them are fraudulent, so beware. They're not all a fraud, but just use caution when responding to any emails that promote or offer jobs. To be on the safe side, I would just delete them without even opening the email. I've gotten them, too, but I just delete them from my 'Inbox'.

From my retail experience, mystery shoppers are people that pretend to be regular customers. They come in to evaluate the employees 'customer service' performance and some are dressed as customers to catch shoplifters.

Answer 4

Mystery shoppers are paid to test store employees it is legitimate but not done daily so you cannot live on the income

Answer 5

Mystery shoppers are hired to catch people stealing. They get paid to walk around the store all day and look like a regular customer.
