Are the Mystery Shoppers offering money to be a secret shopper for real or are there hidden costs?

Answer 1

Beware of phony advertisements or job offers for Mystery Shopper jobs. Legitimate shopper job do not advertise, they will not guarantee you a job and will never require a fee to join. There is also a check fraud scam trying to entice people to cash fake checks. Check with the Better Business Bureau if you have any doubts. Educate yourself about spotting scams on the internet, there are too many out there, and never pay a fee for any kind of job.
