Mystery Shopping And Movies

Hi All,

Question:

I'm a movie buff. Are there any mystery shop opportunities to view movies?

Answer From Coach Melanie:

Yes there are. As a mystery shopper, it's really more to check out the theatre and personnel from a customer service point of view, but you get to stay for a movie too! :)

Watch Out For This New Mystery Shopping Scam

Hi All,

They're at it again--those son of a guns who take a perfectly good field like Mystery Shopping and give it a bad name. The latest mystery shopping scam that several Southeast shoppers have written in to me about involves a variation of a famous internet scam.

Classified ads are placed in local newspapers along with legitimate job ads in many different fields looking for mystery shoppers. The "assignments" involve being sent a check that you use from these scam artists to make a purchase at a major chain like Wal-Mart or to "evaluate" a bank, and then you are asked to send part of it back to the scammers and you get to keep what's left. Except it's a bad check! You will get nothing, the villains get money and make you the unwitting victim and accomplice in a money laundering crime!

As I've said time and time again, I have only one time seen a legit mystery shopper ad in a local paper. It's just not the way real mystery shopping assignments are obtained! Plus, any legit mystery shopping job where you make a purchase, always requires you to front the money (a nominal amount), and you get reimbursed once you submit your report. No one sends you an upfront check!

If you want to know how to get mystery shopping jobs for real, check out the resources and articles on my web site at: http://www.mysteryshoppercoach.com, and remember if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is!

Using Mystery Shopping Message Boards

Hi All,

Question:

I bought your Mystery Shopping 2-Volume Set but I think I haven't fully grasped the message board thing you talk about in your articles and books. Do I need to find message boards that are just for my state?

Answer From Coach Melanie:

In regard to your question, while you may very well find a state-specific mystery shopping message board on Delphi or in Yahoo's groups, it really isn't necessary. Usually the important thing is to check out the more active boards like the ones I suggested in the book, and as you monitor them, you'll tend to see which ones are more active for your area. You can quickly scan the postings for your state and then make contact as I recommend.

Ultimately, you'll have networked well enough over time, that you will be in the databases of all the top schedulers for your area, and know which companies that let you self-assign that you like to work with and have many assignments in your coverage area (the only ones worth applying to directly in my opinion--for more on this, please check out my book Secret Mystery Shopping Sites Revealed! when you are ready.

Then you'll have accomplished your goal of having mystery shopping assignments coming to you, rather than you having to go look for them--the smart way to maximize your mystery shopping income.

Have a great day and happy shopping!
