Many people are fascinated by the topic of mystery shopping. When I tell people I mystery shop, their eyeballs often widen. Mystery shopping has a cool name but it is not a mystery nor is it mysterious. The most common question people ask me is, "What is mystery shopping?" In this first article, I will explain what mystery shopping is.

Fun article. I was a mystery shopper many years ago. I liked it but it just wasn't worth the time it took to complete all the tests and paperwork I had to fill out. Still it was interesting in a secret agent, spy kinda way.

Here is an additional note to my article: Some Mystery Shopping gigs are scams! (Just like some work-at-home gigs are scams too.) If there is a phone number in your newspaper and it asks you to pay $90 (or X amount of money) for mystery shopping info, that is probably a scam. You can get information about mystery shopping for free on the internet. I will explain this in my next article. :)

Thanks for telling us about this. I, like Silva, thought most of these were scams. I know SOMEONE has to mystery shop, but I would like to know how to go about starting this. I will "stay tuned!"
