Has anyone tried mystery shopping through Service Intelligence and if so is it legitimate??

Question

Looking for extra income.

Answer 1

I can only tell you second-hand, from a reliable friend, that it is NOT legit.  Good luck to you! :)

Answer 2

Be careful -- check first if that organization is a member of the national association of mystery shopping companies (there is such a thing to maintain professionalism and standards in this industry)

There are indeed a lot of scams in terms of mystery shopping jobs. But mystery shopping is a legitimate market research tool used by big companies to evaluate the quality of their services.

I suggest you go to the National Mystery Shopping Providers Association (MSPA) http://www.mysteryshop.org , an organization of mystery shopping companies. This is the organization that you can TRUST in this field

Check out their listing of shopping assignments by country and by state from member companies. Companies are accepted as members of the association only if they have been in existence for two years and they can submit proof of business existence. Make a list of these companies and check out their requirements to be a mystery shopper.

The MSPA North America has a job board listing available mystery shoppers position

If in doubt, double-check the company with the local Better Business Bureau http://www.bbb.org , usually under the Service Intelligence category. Find out if any complaints have been lodged with the mystery shopping company, before agreeing to do work for them.
