Learn how to make as much as $100 a week as a mystery shopper.

Many people have heard of mystery shopping, but not all of us understand exactly what it's really about.

Mystery shopping is focused on monitoring and improving service quality to ensure consistency with brand standards using anonymous resources. A growing trend involves home-based mystery shoppers who conduct their work by calling (as opposed to visiting) catalog companies, call centers and others, which accounts for 15 percent of the industry, according to trade group Mystery Shopping Providers Association.

With mystery shopping, an individual walks into a retail, grocery or convenience store, a restaurant, or a gas station to measure specific behaviors and make certain observations. Among them: associate greetings, the length of time to be served, the availability of merchandise, the knowledge of the sales team, and so on.

@ShiningNow Simple enough: Did they charge you a fee? Then it's a scam, period.

Sometimes they send you a worthless list of companies allegedly hiring secret shoppers, Fior instance, Sears hires secret shoppers. They could give you Sears' address, and you would soon find out that they don't hire people off the street. There are other versions of the scam. Look up secret shopper on snopes . com.

@carlcartman Your comment worries me. I just applied for (supposedly) a mystery shopper job vacancy. Could you please tell me how to notice if it is a scam and how the scammers work in this particular case? Thank you in advance.

I have difficulty with freelancing and I am not making that much from taking online surveys.

I was hesitant about mystery shopping but if all I have to do is go to a store, analyze everything, buy whatever I want, get paid, and so on, then I am interested.

I am so interested in doing this. Here is my AOL email if anyone wants to hire me as a mystery shopper:
