Mystery shopping is one of those rare fun ways to make money. You get to shop and get paid for it. The only problem with mystery shopping is actually finding a legitimate mystery shopping company to work for. Mystery shopping has been bombarded with scams of all kind, specially in the past few years. Many people have become victims of these mystery shopping scams and instead of making money lost money.
That’s why I thought it would be a good idea to share my finding.
