Spotting another Mystery Shopping Scam

Intellishop is a real mystery shopping company. However, I just received an email, and this is NOT from the company. 

Know the difference. If you are registered with a company, their emails will not look like the one below. It will not come from INFO@whatever site.com - it will have a NAME attached to most times. Also, if your registered - emails will come to your inbox telling you what shops are in the area, as well as the pay. They will not come looking for information - for this company, they already have my information, so it makes no sense that they would ask for it again. A legit email would not come from via eigbox.net.

Mystery Shopping Scams: Know when to spot one!

For some reason, mystery shopping scams have popped up a lot in the past few years. And the sad thing, is that people are still falling for the scams. Mystery shopping is a legit opportunity. But you should know how to spot a fake. 

• Please remember people - If they are legit,  they won’t send you an email like this. 
• If they are legit, you would not get unsolicited emails from them. You would only get emails if you were registered with them, or with another site that you opted to receive recruiting emails for shops in your area.

Here is the email I got. Sad thing is, I work for a company called The Secret Shopper. This is the second email I got from someone claiming to be someone from a company I work at… Tisk. Please note the bold and see notes…
