Current Alerts For This Business
BBB has received information that indicates the name of this business is often spoofed by scammers to commit mystery shopper scams. BBB advises applicants to carefully research any mystery shopper positions. Understand whether the business is offering to employ you directly. If you are asked instead to purchase training materials or a directory of businesses that supposedly offer mystery-shopping opportunities, exercise caution.
Before agreeing to a position, verify that the business does the following:
- Qualifies and train mystery shoppers to perform specific evaluations
- Enjoys a good reputation with their clients and shoppers
- Does not charge a fee to complete an application.
To steer clear of get-rich-quick offers, the BBB advises mystery shopper applicants to:
- Ignore claims that you will make big profits easily.
- Avoid falling for claims that "guarantee" a position, without training.
- Be cautions of unsolicited e-mails offering "work-from-home."
- Never pay money up-front. A legitimate mystery shopping service will not charge money for materials, training or recruiting.
- Obtain the name of the business and check the business out with the BBB, local consumer protection agency, and state attorney general.
