More on the scam:
To steer clear of get-rich-quick offers, the BBB advises mystery shopper applicants to:
Ignore claims that you will make big profits easily. Mystery shopping will not make you rich; at best it provides part-time income.Be cautious of unsolicited e-mails offering "work-from-home."
Avoid falling for claims that "guarantee" a position, without training. Never pay money up-front. A legitimate mystery shopping service will not charge money for materials, training or recruiting.
Obtain the name of the company and check the business out with the BBB, local consumer protection agency, and state attorney general.
