Nationwide Mystery Shopping Services

 

We provide mystery shopping services across the U.S. and Canada and need shoppers who live or work close to our clients’ locations. Many of our mystery shoppers are certified by the Mystery Shopping Professionals Association (MSPA). With each shopping assignment, we strive to match the skills of our shoppers with the needs of our client. The number of assigned shops per month varies, depending on the client’s needs.

Here is a brief video to show you how to get started:

Mystery Shoppers Work Independently

If you are selected for a mystery shopping assignment from Customer Perspectives, you are an independent contractor and are responsible for declaring and paying your own taxes. We do not cover you for workers’ compensation or unemployment and do not pay any of your Social Security taxes. However, as an independent contractor, you are also free to work for other mystery shopping companies at the same time you are doing shops for Customer Perspectives.

Avoid Secret Shopper Scams

Customer Perspectives is among the most respected and reputable mystery (secret) shopping companies. But there are unscrupulous imitators trying to defraud unsuspecting shoppers. If you think you’d like to become a mystery shopper, here are a few tips to avoid scams:
9

Never apply for a job where the company asks for money up front so you can start working. NEVER pay a fee to anyone to sign up, purchase a book or list of names and NEVER pay a “membership fee.”

9

NEVER accept an assignment that requires you to deposit a check or money order before doing your “shop” and NEVER accept a mystery shopping assignment that requires you to do a wire transfer.

9

Mystery shopping companies that promise high paying assignments, “lots of assignments” in your area or other “too good to be true” offers to entice you to register should be investigated further before registering.

9

Legitimate mystery shopping companies NEVER send checks or wire funds to anyone until AFTER the assignment has been successfully completed and accepted.

9

NEVER send personal information — especially social security numbers — to a site you do not trust via email. NEVER go to a website through a link sent to you in an email. Go to the website independently of any link sent to you. Scammers often copy websites so they look real.
