A few years ago I saw an ad in the local paper for one of these jobs. I called the number listed in the ad for more information. I was told I’d have to pay a starting fee of about $100. I did and never heard from the company again. The best advice I ever recieved about these kind of things is that: “If it seems too good to be true, than it probably is.” No legit place of employment would make you pay a “start-up fee”.

Hey,
You are right.. We can earn a lot by becoming mystery shoppers, not just that, you will also be able to travel to different cities & the company will pay for your stays !!

I know all this coz one of my friends has worked in a company for 2 months in India as a mystery shopper.

Thanks for sharing it with us... really liked your post

@clockwork: It is indeed a legitimate possibility. I’ll get into more of the specifics in one of my future posts. I highly suggest you take a look at the two links I included. That will get you started!

@ankit: There’s a bit more to it than just hanging around, but yes, it’s pretty cool huh?

I always was skeptical about those job positions. They seem to be in every city. It never seemed legit. I wonder how much you even get paid.
