Anybody get surveys that as if you'd like to be a mystery shopper?

I haven't seen any surveys like this, but I guess if you think about it, completing surveys about retail stores is like being a mystery shopper without advance notice.

Hmmmm, don't think I've seen one of those.  I'm not sure how that would work.  Were they trying to see if you would want to be a mystery shopper?  Sounds like something I would not want to be involved in, so guess it's good I've not seen that one.

I think if you see those it would be a good idea not to do them. I called the store that they were supposed to be for and they do not participate in such a thing. I started receiving text messages with offers so I had to check it out

I looked into Mystery Shopping back in the day...I am sure there are some who make some $ doing it, but I found the rules to be very strict for lots of the "shops".  I've never seen a survey about it.

If I get one, I always opt out. I don't have time to do these sorts of tasks. Anything more than a survey or forum panel discussion and chances are, the reward isn't worth the efforts in my experience.

I don't recall a survey invitation for mystery shopping.  I have done a couple of shops offline some years ago but they had nothing to do with a survey invitation. 

I think if you see those it would be a good idea not to do them. I called the store that they were supposed to be for and they do not participate in such a thing. I started receiving text messages with offers so I had to check it out
That's one good way to find out if the invitation is legit or not.  Mystery Shopping in itself is a legitimate industry.  Unfortunately there are many scams as well.  It's just like many other things I suppose.

I get on here on a daily basis, and I can't say that I have seen any mystery shopper offers or surveys in all my time here. I have been here for approximately 3 months.

I sure agree with that, some of that it end up with scams
