on 7/13/2009 Never sign up for anything that says you have to pay for it. PremiewShoppers.com is probably a scam because you have to pay for it. Please read my article as well. Thanks for your tips. I like them. MSPA is a great stop for many mystery shopping companys. Its great!!!

on 2/1/2009 One of the newer comapnies on the net is Premiershoppers.com (www.premiershoppers.com). They have almost 100,000 opportunities on their job board - and they keep a running count right on their home page. I have actually spoken to a few recruiters and they tell me Prermiershoppers.com is the most professional company they have worked with in years. Worth checking out for less than 10 bucks!

on 10/26/2008 The MSPA (Mystery Shopping Providers Association) is NOT a "not for profit organization that helps educate and train potential mystery shoppers". Never sign up with a company that charges for certification.
