I had considered signing up to be a mystery shopper -- a friend of a friend had sent me a couple of sites that she's had good experiences with, and it sounded like fun.

I don't really like people calling me though, especially since I only have a cell phone, and everyone was asking me for my phone number. Is anyone a member of a quality site that has never called? I honestly don't think they need to be calling me, since I'm easily and reliably contactable via e-mail.

I have not received anything from any mystery shopping sites. Im just waiting patiently. Im from a small town maybe thats why LOL

I signed up with SG marketing. I don't remember if they asked for phone number, but if they did I didn't give them one. They email reminders about jobs, but usually you go their posts and apply for a shop. I'm in CAnada, and right now they seem almost desperate for people to do CIBC Shops (that's a bank). They're even willing to pay you mileage if you have to travel to one of the locations they want done. Unfortunately, they want experienced shoppers for this job and I'm a newbie...... I figure as the closing date nears and they get more desperate, I might get considered.

I tried to not give my phone number to each of the sites I signed up for, but it was a required field. :(

Edit: Just looked into that site -- in the requirements, it says that I have to be comfortable returning phone calls (and emails) to editors and schedulers. The form requires a phone number.

I fixed your link for you because when I clicked on it I was getting an error because it was not putting the ".com" on it. Hope you don't mind :)

i'm signing up for the cybershop...but you have to enter in your ssn? is it like that with all mystery shops? :(

[digital_d0rk]

not all but most. usually they will ask AFTER you do the shop...so they can reinburst you. Its more like a job then survey sites...kinda hard to explain. Ill look into to more sites if you want.

it seems like almost all the sites i look into as for it. i just don't want my bank cleared up out of the blue lol. if you're interested in mystery shopping and looking into it anyway, please let me know what you find. thanks!
