It seems legit, but I'm not sure, how can I check on it. Also what about the online surveys? Anyone ever do one of those and get paid for them in cash?

Google (or whatever) the url. You'll probably find comments from victims. Don't add to their number.

It isn't legit, those are scams. They'll take your money and give you a list of companies that might or might not actually have mystery shopper jobs - or even worse, tell you to check your local yellow pages. Same deal for online surveys. For some you can make a little cash, but not enough to be worth your time. Most will just collect your personal info and spam you to death, and you'll only make any money if you recruit other people to sign up, then you'll get part of their signup fee - that's why there are so many people here who say "this one is great - sign up using my link".
If a "job" requires you to pay a fee up front, it's a scam.

Scam. You should never have to PAY money for a job. Mystery shoppers are usually hired by the company who owns the mall and they are usually people who already work for the company (ex. secretary, mail room, etc.). Save your money.
Some of the online surveys do pay money, but you are not going to retire with them. You sign up and have to be invited to do a survey (they send it to your email) and you might get $5 or credit for a gift card.
Now giving plasma pays about $30-$40 a pop. The only problem is having that needle stuck in your arm is NO fun,. But back in our early days of marriage and baby that extra money bought a lot of diapers.

No, No, No.... don't pay for information..... of any kind, especially for job info... if it's not free info, RUN the other way... If you will go to my profile here, click on the link for advice on working from home... scroll down to the comment section... You will find 2 links to legit work at home JOBS...
Also, I have never heard of any work at home business that was legal that paid you in cash whether it was a JOB or a home based business. Anything that you sign up for that is dealing only in cash... is probably illegal ...
~best to you,

The best way to get mystery shopping jobs is to register directly with mystery shopping companies. They do not charge you to apply or to see job listings--they pay you when you work for them.
There is a list of nearly 200 legitimate mystery shopping companies that do not charge at http://www.MysteryShoppersManual.com/mystery-shopping-companies
As for online surveys, most award points or chances at prizes, but do not pay. You can spend a lot of time looking for surveys and filling out forms for little or no reward.

Applying for those jobs is like a wild goose chase. It's really just a way to get you to sign up for various mailing lists. All the while you think you're following a promising lead, you are really being coaxed into filling out another form. It's an endless trail.
