If you ever wondered if it was too good to be true…

Are you a mystery shopper wanna be? There are many enticing advertisements and internet sites to choose from, but which do you respond to? Which ones are the real thing?

Here are some tips:

Most mystery shopping firms give applicants a test. The test can be for basic things like spelling and grammar, but also more subtle things like observational skills and the ability to duplicate an order.

Companies want detail-oriented people who can follow explicit instructions. They need people who are observant and can collect the data the companies have requested.

You have heard about credit reports, but what do they really report? What does your credit report say about you?

It reveals how prompt you are in paying back loans, how much money you could borrow should you decide to go on a spending spree, and how many times you’ve applied for credit. What it does not reveal is your salary or business debts (unless you personally guaranteed a loan).

Your credit record also might not reflect all of your credit accounts—such as travel, entertainment, gasoline card companies, and credit unions—since some of these creditors do not supply information to the credit reporting agencies. Your deposit information, such as your saving’s account balance, are not part of your credit report.
