Shopper Scams

Mystery shoppers should never have to pay. Be careful when dealing with websites that offer large cash reimbursements, or ask for your checking information. Make sure the mystery shopping company you work for is recognized by the Mystery Shopping Providers Association (MSPA) so you can be assured that your personal information will not be shared.
