Have you heard about becoming a secret shopper? Does it really pay off or is it a hoax?

Question

Supposedly you get paid to shop. Does anyone know if it's true?

Answer 1

you cant make a real income with it, but if you only want to make a few bucks here and there it is okay. you need to sign up with several companies and really be committed to grabbing jobs before someone else does. You have to fill out extensive reports some times, and most jobs pay between 5- 25 dollars and you are lucky to get one job a week.

a much better part time job is working in event promotions where you set your own schedule and can work alot or a little doing sampling events or working as a vendor at big ticket events. these companies are always hiring and are real jobs with real income and they are fun to do :)

Here is  a couple companies, there are many:

Answer 2

No it is not a hoax. I Work for a couple of secret shopper companies. I did not have to pay them money either. Companies hire secret shopper companies to have these shops conducted. I am paid to do restaurants, motorcycle, airport, cellular stores, grocery store, fast food, department store and apartment shops...there are tons to do. these shops are conducted in order to make sure the employees as well as managers are doing their jobs effectively. The money they pay me is direct deposited into my account, or they can mail you a check if you prefer. You will love it, believe me...lol

here are the sites... Copy paste link into address bar.
