.The idea of mystery shopping jobs is becoming very popular with people looking for part time work with flexible hours. Mystery shopping jobs offer good pay, short hours, and a fun, interesting work environment. Most mystery shoppers only work 1-2 hours per job, and can accept or reject a job with just a day's notice. The work usually consists of visiting a store, making predetermined purchases, and evaluating the customer service. Of course there are variations, such as going to a restaurant or hotel, and evaluating the food, cleanliness, and overall attitude of the staff. In any case, the mystery shopper will fill out a report after their work is done, and turn it in to receive their pay. How many of you out there have been scammed into this "too good to be true" deal already? By participating in these offers you are likely to find hundreds of fraudulent websites claiming to help you get daily work. But in most cases, these websites have one intent - making you pay to become a member of their website just so they can supposedly tell you where to go on the internet to find real mystery shopping jobs. But all they actually do is provide you with a list of useless links to companies that no longer exist, or flood your email with spam and spyware. These websites will charge you a $20-$50 fee for access to their directory of mystery shopping job sources. In reality, most of these websites offer you nothing more than the following: # Outdated mystery shopping resources with non-working links, phone numbers, & email addresses. # No customer service. # No refunds if you are unsatisfied . # Poorly designed sites. Most mystery shopping jobs pay $25-$50/hour, but most jobs DO NOT last more than 2-4 hours.
