Shadow Shopper Reviews

Don Tillman   Claxton, GA

I have been a member of Shadow Shoppers for almost eight months. I have made good money through them with the companies they list and have only good things to say about them.

I would just like to point out that Shadow Shopper Australia is not connected in any way with Shadow Shopper US and would appreciate this being acknowledged in your article.
We get a lot of complaints and abuse directed at us which have nothing to do with us. We also show up as having a lot of complaints against us and we would really like you to clarify the situation to your readers.

this was supposed to be easy, but I have had no luck, now I see another $29.95 has been taken out of my paypal account!!

I signed up for the $4.95/One month trial membership. I was on my bank acct website and noticed a withdrawal of $30.00. I got on the website to complain, but of course the "Live Help" chat site was off-line. I checked my acct and noticed then that the auto-withdrawal choice was highlighted; like I had checked it. I would have never allowed this; especially while I had just chosen the "1 month" membership. This is a scam!!! Do NOT DO IT!

They are totally a scam. I don't think I even had anything but the free account, and they started charging me each month until I luckily oppened one of their spam emails and found they are unsin my debit card. I have filed a claim with my bank. They are a scam and totally set up in a way to fool you so they can charge you. Don't let them trick you. It "IS A SCAM." They can't be trusted.

THIS IS a SCAM. I signed on for a FREE trial, and they have taken 30.00 out of my bank account for the last 5 months

I also have concerns about this "company". They have my s.s.# and credit card . i signed up for the "free" trial and have no way to cancel. They do not answer the phone number on my charge statement.My fault for trusting. I thought it looked legit. Just filed a charge dispute with credit card company. Hopefully that will get these charges stopped.

What else can I do??? I gave SS Credit card # today, I just cancelled the card. The first job notice required me to go to Private eyes web site, then that required me to go to Eventbrite, "hosting successful events"???? What the hell!!! How do you cancel membership? I'm afraid to....

I signed up for the free-bronze membership a couple of months ago. So far I have gotten 2 calls for jobs that are a couple of miles from my house. I am very pleased.

This is obviously a scam company. You should not have to PAY to sign up with a mystery shopping company. When I worked with Certified Reports I didn't have to sign up for a fee, they hired me by sending my information to them and they hired me to work for them. You should not have to pay a fee to join a mystery shopping network. Those are scams.

I joined shadow shopper on Saturday dec 17th 2011 and literally just got a call for a job in nj this friday and saturday. I will be back on this to let you guys know how it goes. Wish me luck. Fingers Crossed.

BIGGEST SCAM i ever heard of. I hope someone rips them off worse than they rip-off their so-called employees!

I've been with SS since 2007. In my opinion they are a job board (or middleman) of work to be done in your local area if you look and do the job board right. They are very, very legit and I've had very good success with working for variety of companies thru their job board. I have no complaints so far. I have never, never had problems with them or the companies that I work for! I've been very pleased with them.

I joined Shadow Shopper June 2011. I took advantage of their 3 month membership for $37.95. I got a good number of assignments,and when it was time for the next renewal, they billed PayPal in October 2011. I just tried to login (Nov 30th 2011) and they NO LONGER EXIST!!! I was directed to some coupon service instead with a message that read "We're sorry but this offer is no longer available. BEWARE OF SHADOW SHOPPER ANYONE WHO'S A MEMBER CHANGE YOUR FINANCIAL INFORMATION BECAUSE THEY WON'T FORGET TO BILL YOU!!!

I have a free subscription with shadow shopper and I got a job at Walgreens for $13 an hour. They called me! I was shocked! Though I would not pay for it the free membership has been proven good for me. :) I'm 17 and finally have something better to put on my resume! Not only that but now I have a contract with Action Events&Promotions! Which means more jobs, and not a dime out of pocket. :) That's my personal experience, I'm going to work my first day in an hour :) wish me luck!

This is not a review but Just wanted to thank you all guys who after finding something wrong with a site , take time to come and update here. This link today is such an eye opener. I was about to sign up but my instincts asked me to check for reviews. I m not signing up. You guys saved me 99 dollars. How sweet.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Jessica   Colorado

Stay away! Signed up for a trial period, then unsubscribed. They will not stop filling up my junk mail box. I've unsubscribed to all of their emails, but they continue sending them anyway. Once they have your info, they'll never stop. Seems very unethical.

I haven't had a problem with them. I am a bronze member. all I did was give them my phone number and address. I never gave them any credit card info. I just got a call yesterday about a job that is at my local walgreens on Nov.9th,16th, and 23rd for 15 dollars an hour for 4 hours(3pm-7pm)handing out info on Diabetes. I didn't call them back on the job I went to the website and found the same job in my inbox and replied back that way. I asked them saying if there was any way the could send me some info on the job and does my local walgreens know about this job also. I just sent that today so I am waiting back for reply. Now about getting checks from them. If you read the website it says do not cash check you get from them. They say there are scams going around that are posing to be them and paying people for jobs they haven't done. No body gets paid for jobs they haven't done right? It is just common sense.

I signed up for a two week trial. On 9 August the trial was up and I had been in vacation in NYC. I came home today and immediately canceled my membership. I e-mailed customer service and they were very rude and basically just copy/pasted my service agreements. The funny thing is my last log in was 07/26/2011 and I found that I was billed 29.95 yesterday for a two week trial that started on 07/26/2011. I was in NYC until today and have not even used the site since 7/26/2011 when I signed up and forgot to take auto-renew off. I can honestly say I have not used the site once, and I missed the deadline by one day (because I flew home this morning). I am a college student and my funds are super tight right now... I understand if I had been using the free trial then of course, I wouldn't mind paying for it. However, I have been in NYC and feel almost scammed for being charged for something I had no access to and have not used even once while I had it. However they will not refund me, and they are a bunch of rat ba******. STAY AWAY FROM THIS.

A TOTAL SCAM!!!! Do not associate or time on this website. I know because I was desperate to find a job and I added "just" my email address. Now I get over 10 junk mails from them everyday.
Does anyone here know how to be removed from their mailing list? This company is a RIP-OFF! Soon after you will have problems with your computer too.
