My sister and I were talking the other day and I mentioned that I would like to make some extra money. I said that I wanted to find work online but was skeptical about the online jobs I have looked into. She told me that she had heard of Secret Shoppers. Does anyone know anything about this type of work? Is is legit and can you make money being a Secret Shopper? Is anyone on myLot a Secret Shopper?

I am a mystery shopper. I am not certified yet but I plan on doing that in the future because you get the highest paying jobs. The mystery shopping websites that are legit are the ones that don't cost you any money to sign up. I currently belong to 3 different mystery shopping companies and I get any where for 3-15 mystery shopping jobs each month. It keeps me busy and I have made some good extra money doing this. You pretty much get to make your own schedule. I just did a yahoo search for mystery shopper websites and signed up with a couple of companies. Mystery shoppers are important because they ensure company guidelines are being followed and customers are receive good service.

I have never been a mystery shopper, although I have been thinking of beinging to try one. I have heard that you can make alot of money secret shopping. I know alot of people that secret shop, and they say it pays really well, you just have to find the right site. One site I have found is www.mysteryshopper.com It is the site I have been interested in trying out.

Thanks for responding Jennifer21, I tried going to www.mysteryshopper.com and it took me to the AMC Theatres website. Go figure. I appreciate your response and will start searching for legit sites. Good luck finding a good site, let me know if you hit the jackpot! Take care...

Well, I have looked into, and I got hoodwinked. It was a gimick. I thought secret shoppers were jobs that they paid you to do shopping either in local stores, and or online. They are strictly on line, and you have to use your own money to shop. I had a heck of a time, getting out of it. They kept trying to send me stuff, and I had to send emails after emails, to stop. To me it was too risky, and I was afraid, that I would be putting more out, then what I would take in. Maybe you will get some people who have been successful, and can direct you where to go. I would be interested in knowing.

Yes, I have just completed an assignment a while back and am now awaiting payment for it. I have done it twice and what you do is check out the particular place in question, make sure you take good notes, be as inconspicious as possible so as not to let on that your checking out the place, turn in a thorough report, and wait for payment.
