I completed a few assignments and was paid as stated.   Seems, like after participating with mystery assignments and other gpt sites that I'm bombarded with mail from unscrupulous companies/people sending checks in the mail for amounts ranging between $1,500 - $6,000 stating that you're selected to participate in new assignment, cash check and keep $300, forward the rest to us...RIGHT!

It is a good idea to have several secondary email accounts that you can  use to sign up for things like this so that when the spam starts to come it does not drive you crazy.  I have an email I use for personal correspondence.  Two for business, two for safelists, and several for offers. 

Also, know that there are legit mystery shopping companies out there, but use some common sense.  If it sounds too good to be true, it is.

I have joined a couple of mystery shop sites.  I've done a few so far.  They have been very easy.  Just have to make sure you take in as much detail as you can.  A lot of questions are answered.  Make sure you read and follow all of the shop instructions.  If you don't supply the necessary documentation, you won't get paid.  Now a days, every little of extras help!
Have a wonderful day!

There ARE good mystery shopping companies out there. I worked for a few different ones. Went and did "car" shops and ended up with free oil changes, wheel allignments, ect. I was told that a legit mystery shopping company will NOT ask you money to sign up! Make sure you read the fine print! Good luck!

I'm always skeptical of all that business and avoid it all together...rather spend my time on FusionCash :)

I actually was going to try this too, I heard an add on my local radio station so was not sure if it was legit since they aired the add on the radio or not.  I am skeptical to try it.  I did take the email down though so well see, I guess it cant hurt and if i research first before doing anything, and yes no sending money to anyone first  ;D

I would get the coupons in the mail to actually try a place out, and they would send me money for that particular "assignment". There are some that are legit, it is just the matter of whether or not you find the right ones. If they ever ask for money back... never, ever, send them money! It is a scam! Good luck! :)

Yeah I didn't believe the one I got in the mail at all. It didn't ask me for any money, but it asked me to cash the check and spend so much at different places, then go to the western union and send money out and report how the service was at western union and keep $300 or something like that. I threw it out cause I didn't think that this particular one sounded right.
