Mystery Shopper is one of those jobs that millions of people would like to have – get paid to go shopping at your local stores then write up a report of the experience.

Suitable as a second job for anyone struggling financially or as a main job for anyone who loves shopping and you get the products you bought of course.

There are just a handful of people who do this job but they are highly trained and it isn’t as glamorous as it can be depicted.

But you will see numerous adverts offering the job of mystery shopper.

These are scams – just a way to get your confidential information and get you hooked.

This latest one claims to be from Shoppers Bay Ltd but the email sender’s address is secretshopperzuk.biz so it’s fake.

Some of the ads try to get you to buy a guide to becoming a secret shopper – always a scam.

Or to pay to join a list of secret shoppers used supposedly by the big players in the market – always a scam.

It may be an attractive sounding job but 99.99% of such offers are scams – so don’t give away your confidential information and do not pay for information which is readily available on the Internet.
