    I actually posted today on a mystery shopping scam that is making the rounds. It’s important to check all jobs out carefully.

  2. Thanks Laura. I’m pleased you posted about mystery shopping scams as well.

    Legitimate mystery shopping gigs are still an interesting service to be involved with.
