I am looking for any information about ; INTERLINK’
If anyone knows something please clue me in
I received an email from interlink. I am to go to Walmart and evaluate the service there.This smells bad;has scam written all over it.For one thing the money is too good.Total scam.
The Source or whatever their name is this week is exceptional in Low balling their shoppers.I had shops assigned to me only to be told I was now a back up,because someone offered a lower shop price.
They we’re the bottom of the barrel of MSCs in my opinion for other reasons also
I have severed all connections with them, with no regrets
Sinclair was excessively overcrowding me with banks in the area. They asked me to do the same bank 3x in a month using different last names. After the first one I said no to the other two. I have severed my connections with Sinclair since then. They mainly focus on banks and financial institutions.
Intouch Insight is a really good company to work with! They offer a variety of opportunities from gas stations, c-stores, fitness centres, retail and age compliance. They have been increasing their volume too over the last year. The best part is that they pay every 2 weeks!
I’ve been shopping for 3 months now. My impression with most of these shops is that they are shady.
They lower the pay rates, and give you challenges so that they don’t have to pay you. (none on this list)
The very last shop I did for a MSC, had me to do the shop and then cancel on me so that I did not get the opportunity to turn in the report. Most don’t value you.
They want reliable people…but they don’t want to pay for them. I’m moving onto other business now.
I agree with Celeste that some companies don’t want to pay, after a mystery shopper has put in her time and effort. However, all companies are not like this! I am signed up with over 40 companies and this is only happened to me about four times. In my situation, one company was very vague and contradictory in their instructions and this send up a red flag for me but I accepted the assignment anyway because I’m a person of my word! Then after I filled out the report and submitted it one of the staff members had the nerve to tell me that I didn’t follow the instructions thoroughly so that I was not going to be paid for that particular assignment. I wasn’t happy to say the least but but all I did was complain to them and deactivate deactivate my account so that I would never be cheated again this way. I do like mystery shopping because I find it interesting and convenient around my other obligations duties but most of all because it’s supplements my income!
