Hello, I found this forum and thought I would add my 2 cents. Out of economics, I became a secret shopper. I lost my career job of 27 years and since 2009 I have been "underemployed" so I secret shop to help supplement my income. I can speak for several companies I have worked for and are legitimate as I see so much doubt since there are shady companies asking you to pay to join. Let me tell all of you that if a secret shopper company is on the up and up they will Never ask you to pay any kind of fee to them. Remember they are supposed to pay YOU. So far I have excellent experiences with Secret Shopper (www.secretshopper.com), Trendsource (www.msishopper.net), Insite (www.insite.intelli-shop.com), Market Force (www.marketforceshopper.com). I have also done revealed and merchandising assignments with a few of these companies as well. Well any comments? Please ask any questions.
