IS A MYSTERYSHOPPER a good job?

Depends.  The one's I've done are not worth your time or money because they want detailed, aptly written descriptions of everything you did on the shop all for a few bucks.  A lot of them want you to purchase something, but they'll reimburse you after the shop.\n\nThen again I hear being a mystery shopper for Hotels.com is a blast.  They put you up in Hotels all around maybe even some ritzy ones.

i dont have references really but i work there i guess i could ask and get back to you... buuuut id say no. they have cameras out and they look for anything suspicious plus they have guards and stuff... theyd think you were waiting for a relative you are mad at to open the store so you could hurt them or something... they have lots of security measures, so i dont think it is a good idea... maybe if it was like black friday or something... when they open all early and have lots of sales....

These aren't particularly random websites.  I found that the only way to become a mystery shopper besides signing with the following websites would be to find a market research company that you would like to work for (or several because this is kind of a long shot) and contact them about becoming a mystery shopper.  Otherwise these are some other choices(all the full websites are listed in sources):\n\nFabjob.com has a section on mystery shoppers and how to become one.  I've personally used fabjob before with other job ideas and they're very helpful and informational.\n\nQAMS.com has a place where you can sign up to become a mystery shopper. You fill out your information and sign a release that says you are shopping for their research.  It is an application and they review it and you are contacted if they need you.\n\nsecretshopper.biz is another site where you register and they contact you.\n\nmystiqueshopper.com is another where you can apply to become a shopper.  Their payments are sent through paypal so everything is safe, and you can be sure they they're a real company that will pay you.\n\nBut those are just a few.\n\nI simply went to yahoo.com and searched for "become a mystery shopper" and got a huge list.  you could do the same to search for market research companies in your state who need mystery shoppers.

Forget mystery shopper -- that's all hype and scam.  You'll pay through the nose for that one.\n\nI have no clue how you'd become or why you'd want to be part of a focus group.  #1, can't pay, #2, what a boring drag that would be.\n\nSad truth -- you just have to bite the bullet and get a real\njob like the rest of us.

No, but lots of them are. Bottom line: If you are told you have to pay to register with them, don't.\n\nLegitimate mystery shopping companies do not charge you to apply.

That is my guess.  I've tried to track down some head office telephone numbers for Dollarama, they are by far one of the most secretive companies I have ever tried to deal with.  Kudos to the store though!

Yes, if the place isn't clean or if the needle isn't sterile. Check the place out well. Check their work (the designs they have done), check out the work space. Check out the needles. Talk to the artist. Do your homework, this is going to be with you for life. It is worth paying for the quality.

Mystery shoppers must sign Independant Contractor Agreements. If they disclose what is on a mystery shop form, or what mystery shopping company is shopping what store, they break their agreeement and are terminated.\n\nI've been mystery shopping for 6 years now.

Some of those "secret shopper" things are legitimate, just don't pay to join a service.  It basically pays you to do stuff you might be doing anyway, like going to a bank or gas station.  You are then asked questions and have to submit a report.

It is not a scam, but a lot of work.  They are similar to a wholesaler for products that you will have to sell yourself or to a retail store.  It involves a lot of leg work on your part and time.
