One of the most prolific scams online today is signing up to be a secret shopper.

Yes, these companies have the names and addresses of the companies that use secret shoppers and that is all you will be getting. Once you send in your payment, which can varies from $19.95 to $39.95; you will receive a list of companies that use secret shoppers and instructions on how to fill out these companies online applications. If the company is looking for more shoppers they might contact you for a future interview. Most of these offers carry no guarantee that you will ever be chosen to be a secret shopper, let alone get paid $40 an hour for going to a restaurant or any kind of store.
