I’ve done some mystery shopping. It was fun and interesting. The only fee I paid was the one for the list of “home businesses” that I got from an ad. In those days, the list was a mail-order type thing, and was actually somewhat worth the $35.00 I paid. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for a lot of the fee-charging internet ads today.

Very interesting. There is nothing like mystery shopper here. Thanks for sharing.

Mystery shopping is much like any other biz. There are legit agencies and scams. A lot of stores actually use the service. Wal-mart is one co. that I know uses many mystery shoppers. I am glad you had a good experience and made some money in college. My advice to others is just to research any employment opp before signing on.
