1. Sounds good to me and it will only cost you $10.do it and do it quick.
2. I also signed up to be a mystery shopper and also received one of these. But I talked and got my address from a real mystery shopper and it didnt match my address. So im not sure to be honest. But I didnt do it.Pay attention to how they spelt stuff. Like there was a period in bertween Bank.One ( I dunno I notice little stuff like that and sometimes I wonder.) Sorry I couldnt help more.
3. Send the $$ and you are screwed!
4. I'd be wary of any "premier" company that uses a gmail address.
5. $200 for a convenience store visit??? Too good to be true. I've been working in the performance evaluation/mystery shopper filed since last October, and I've never seen an assignment like the one above to pay this much. While there are assignments that do pay between $150-$200, they usually involve a bit more effort than a simple interaction with a store clerk. Plus I have never had to pay any upfront fees to a company. The only investment I ever had to make was $5 for a researched list of the highest paying companies, back when I decided to do this type of work. While it is generally not necessary to purchase any list of companies to get assignments, if you get one from a good source, you will bypass the need to work with the cheapest companies in this field(majority of those are not well-paying ones, unfortunately), and get high paying assignments. Keep in mind, that this job requires a level of determination and ability to organize and manage time in order to make money. I work only on weekends, because I hold a full time job elsewhere, but during these weekends I'm able to generate $300-$400 weekly on an average. https://sites.google.com/site/theperfectjobgroup/
