There are many companies out there so I guess you have to be careful to get a reputable one. Good luck on your search.
: I was seriously thinking of entering into the mystery shopper world to make a few extra bucks, quickly, but after reading your post it doesn´t sound like it would be worth the hassle. Thanks!
