Yet Another Mystery Shopping Scam

If you have read previous posts then you know that I have been a mystery shopper for some time, and I am aware there are scams.  Please see previous posts or send me a message on the Facebook page if you have a question!

Here is a screen shot of the scam I found in my Gmail.

You can tell its a scam in many ways. There are spelling errors.  The error in the word "Address" which shows as "A_ddress".  Of course, as I mentioned in other posts, no mystery shopping company will approach you without you first inquiring for information. Also, they won't EVER pay you before you do work. They will never ask you to send them money. They will ask for a receipt or business card to verify the shop visit, but never payment. 

Feel free to find me on Facebook, and ask me any questions!

Instant Rewards - Possible Scam

Just notified today about a "way to make money" that may be a scam. While there are pictures posted all over the internet about the money people made with them, its flooded. Meaning, the search engine is flooded with all this good stuff - and much of it hiding under the company name and it being a scam. This is what companies do to hide the fact that they have bad publicity. They want you to think its all peachy.

Instant Rewards. Apparently, people are making tons of money on this site.. I highly doubt it. Especially when you see the type of advertising these people have to do to make it. Basically, its one of those trial sites, where you have to sign up to do trial offers - using your credit card (and pray to GOD that you remember to cancel before it fully charges you), and then you get compensated a tiny bit for that. While some people can make bank on these trial offers (and I have seen people do it) the problem is with this site you cannot cash out until you refer people. Now, each referral is around $20 each - but that info may be wrong. It is hard these days to get people to sign up for something. Whether you have 2000 people following your blog, or just 20 friends on Facebook. People are skeptical, and don't want to use their credit card for stuff like that.

IF you decide to join a site like this, be warned, you may not make any money.

If you decide to start some sort of make money at home venture, and you want help deciding if it is a scam or not, feel free to send me a message!!!

Free Month of Redbox Streaming Service + 4 DVD Credits

I've used this service, and I have to say, if you watch movies often then this is for you. You do not need to be a Verizon customer either! 

What you get:
Unlimited streaming PLUS 4 free kiosk rental credits per month for subscribed users. Join Redbox Instant by Verizon for unlimited streaming movies PLUS 4 DVD rental credits at any Redbox kiosk. Join today to get started! 

Stream to your computer, Xbox 360, Samsung Smart TV & Blu-ray players, Apple iPhones & iPads, and Android phones & tablets!

After trial, just $8/mo and you'll continue to enjoy 4 Redbox DVD credits every month.

Each credit is good for 1 overnight rental of 1 DVD. If you keep your DVD an extra night, it just uses another credit. You won't be charged until your credits are all used up. And the next month it refills to 4 DVD credits again.

You can cancel any time before the trial ends if you are unhappy. 

Sigh up here!

Free Photo Mug

Not work at home... but it is free!

You can get a free 11oz photo mug from York if you use the code MYMUG. This would normally cost you $9.99, so its a pretty good deal. I do believe (as with all similar offers) you will have to pay shipping. This offer ends July 31, 2013 at 11:59pm your local time. There are several options available as to how you put your photos on there.. Yes, you can have more than one on the mug! My order came to $5.99, that is the shipping costs. So not bad at all!
