    Thanks Laura. I’m pleased you posted about mystery shopping scams as well.

    Legitimate mystery shopping gigs are still an interesting service to be involved with.

    I guess the usual caution applies to research anything you take on carefully, before signing up.

    Definitely, never give any money to a mystery shopping organization. They should be paying you!
