I worked for this company, when u try to cancel your trial customer service is trained to offer u free time hoping u forget about your acct. now your billed over 80.00 from all these scamming trials u signed up for. don't make rep mad, if u do your acct. won't get canceled. also watch out for Brandy, Joel and the crack head supervisor Katherine.

good thing for this site and a gut feeling! i saw the ad for this company posted on a local help wanted site (you would think they would screen for these things!). I called...the lady on the phone was really nice and I asked her straight up if this was a scam and she said if i'd like to check it out online and call back that would be fine. but no...I continued...gave her my name, addy and email addy...stopped when she asked for a creditcard number...smartest move I made through the whole thing. YOU SHOULD NEVER HAVE TO PAY A COMPANY TO WORK FOR THEM...THEY PAY YOU! If you've already given them your credit card number, don't even bother trying to get in touch with these people...you will get a runaround. call your credit card/bank IMMEDIATELY...do NOT wait for monday, do it NOW don't waste time. the longer you wait, the more charges you get. And you think 1.95 ISN'T ALOT? Imagine MILLIONS of people thinking the SAME THING!

i called them from a pennysavers ads just hoping to get some money for college. when i called they were rushing me and pressuring me and were very rude. when they told me they had to record me they added some BS like surplus service and easy saver free trial. i told them i didn't want to sign up for those. i hope the guy didn't sign me up so i don't have to cancel that. an hr later, i realized that i just gave out my personal information OVER THE TELEPHONE!! i canceled my credit card and am going to cancel my membership tomorrow morning. i am now afraid on what they can do with my billing infomation such as address and my first and last name. i am very scared to tell my parents that i got scammed and had to cancel the credit card. being just 18 years old i finally realized how stupid i am and how gullible. after reading ALL THE COMMENTS i realized how people are easily tricked like myself. and that there are SOO MANY PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT ARE BEING TRICKED BY THESE SCAMMERS!! i am real... read more »

I worked for this company. I thought it was easy money and an easy job. Yes, there is a script and the management tells the new employee that we are providing jobs to people and the other "upsells" are other ways for the customer to make money. I bought into this and thought I was providing a service for people. I found out real quick that this was a "boiler room" and that the majority of the workers were scamming people. The few people I met there were like me and had know idea what they were doing to the people calling in, but the veterans that had been doing this awhile knew exactly how to manipulate the callers and "sell" the products to the callers. The employees made the majority of the money on the additional sales. The customer thought they were getting a job, but ended up tied to 3 or 4 web-sites that they were not interested in
The management of this company,are the most despicable people I have ever met and once I figured out what was going I QUIT!!!!!

I posted before saying how this was a scam earlier. I decided to come back and see what's happened since and it's very sad. Yes you do have to verbally say yes you agree to the charges, but what's bad is that you're paying for something you can get for free. Also the upsells you agree to pay for are scams as well. They continue to take your money even if you cancel. On my first actual day of work, I left on my lunch break and didn't come back. Yeah it's called the Veracity group to try and cover their butts. I don't know it it's still off of I30 just east of 635 in Dallas in a little office building, but they definitely need to be shut down

Look... They will take your money for services you can get for free. There are thousands of websites that do the same thing out there for $0.00. Don't get scammed. It should be obvious when you call them because you want to make more money and then they turn around and take money from you. That's what you call a scam. Fuck Shopper Services, they'll burn for what they do to good people.

I have never dealt with this company. I have heard of many people who have. Once they sign up there bank accounts, and credit cards are drained. Alot of people incur overdraft fees, and over limit fees from their bank. Some say they never receive anything and never agree to the additional services. One person said when she checked her bank account, there was six charges on her credit card statement. She had to call the bank to put a block on her bank account. Another person's credit card company called to alert them. Be very leary about this company. Do not answer the ad in the paper. From what i hear it leads to nowhere.

Yeah I worked there last year and quit after my first day on the phone. Yeah there are ads all over the us and all the calls were sent to that office. When we ask for your zip code and tell you there are a lot of shops in your area is just a bunch of bs. We type the zip code, such as 75243 and dallas comes up in our screen and we pause then say well, there are quite a few shops in your area! All we really see on the screen is that line I just typed just like the rest of the script. Thankfully I was a bad salesperson and didn't sell anything.

OMG, do not sign up for this crap. It is just a damn scam. I signed up on September third 2008 and the rep told me it would just cost $1.95 to sign up then I would have to fill stuff out once I was logged in. The rep I spoke to said it was a 14 day trial membership and that I would be charged 19.95 a month after the 14 days If I did not cancel it. Some of you were sent training material in the mail, I was never even sent that. I was just told to go to the website after the call and log in then I would be able to take the test. The rep told me more than once on the phone that the mystery shopping thing was just 1.95 and that the 19.95 would only be charged after 14 days if I did not cancel. Like many of you the first time I tried after signing up I could not log into the website. I called back and told the rep I could not log in she checked stuff out for me and I was able to log in. The damn job board on the site I came to find out is nothing more than a bunch of links to other my... read more »

If it sounds too good to be true then don't waste your time, let alone money. Mystery Shopper my ___. More like mystery thieves. Less than 30 days after calling the Pennysaver ad my bank account was billed for over $200.00 by companies I had never heard of. Nor did the "sales rep" mention that it only took clicking on one of their various websites for them to think it was ok to bill you for yet another enrollment fee. One of the employees I spoke to trying to cancel their service wanted to 'just quickly' tell me about some of their "other opportunites" before processing my cancellation request. Hope she didn't take it personally when I told her I was recording our conversation and didn't have enough tape to listen to yet another shady scam. My bank was very understanding when I explained my situation and said sadly it was a story they were all too familiar with. So, I have been reimbursed for most of the charges by the bank and will be sending copies of my fraud case to the BBB,... read more »

It sounded too good to be true, I should've known. I have a 3 year old and wanted some extra income, when I called to sign up, there was a problem with my card address, when I called my bank to fix it, I happened to check my account, and ShopperServices had already charged my account, TWICE!! They dont know what they are doing! It really should be illegal for this kind of thing....the economy is too bad for scams to be all over the place!

to everyone who says "i will call and cancel tomorrow" do NOT wait till tomorrow call your credit card company or bank company right away and get them to cancel your card!! canceling your card is possibly the ONLY way to not get scammed. they will tell you the account is cancelled and even give you a confirmation code but it is all a lie! cancel your cards immediately!

It is a scam. I was unemployed so I thought it might be a good way to make some spare cash until I got a real job. As soon as I hung up though, I couldnt even access the website anymore and had a hard time even reaching anyone to cancel the trails and accounts. I too fell for it and cancelled my card so they wont be getting anymore money from me. BEWARE!!! How they can get away with this and not face legal consequences is beyond me.

man, thanks a lot for your input..

i just saw the ad

"Earn upto $150/per day. Get PAID to SHOP. PT/FT. CALL NOW! 1-888-727-0598."

And i did call today, due to excitement..but when the guy over the phone started saying i had to pay $1.95 and when he asked for my info, my instincts told me to check the company first..and so, i asked the guy what the company's name is and he said "Surplus Supplier & Shopper services"..

I knew I had to check out the company first before giving my debit card number..

Good thing I did..and good thing i read your comments and complaints..

Thanks again for your concern for other people..it really helped me from committing a financial suicide..

I got all the way through until he told me about signing me up for the extra website. I stopped him and told him it was ridiculous, and he got angry and said "well good bye then" I told him to wait a minute and I wanted to make sure he canceled he said he did and that our conversation was being recorded and if I said to cancel he had to cancel, still not being polite. I immediately called my Credit Card Company they said it was still showing an approval for the 1.95 but it hadn't been posted yet, then she set me up with a new card number, so that they can't make any more charges.
Those of you who are trying to get them to stop charging might want to try calling you creditcard companies or bank and see what they can do to help.

I seen an ad in the newspaper and called the number, the lady told me that I could make about $50.00 per assignment for $1.95 for registration fee for training. I gave her her my info and she told me about ohter trial basis stuff and I told her that wasn't interested in nothing else but she said it came with this. She said that I had to try the web store because that is where I would get a lot of my money from. but to make a long story short, when I tried to go to the website one of the links that I saw was WAHM so I read some of the reviews and immediately called to cancel in which she gave me a cancellation number but the other places told me that I wasn't in the system and to call back in 48 hours. I called my bank for the scam officer and told her everything and she said that she would cancel my debit card immediately so no charges would come out of my account. Thank you for a lesson well learned. This really did scare me.

The Veracity Group "shopper services" is not a legit company. I am a former employee there and I can say that the day I left there was a big weight off my shoulders. It literally sickened me to sell their services because I knew firsthand that the company was scamming the callers.Do not give out your credit card numbers! You should never have to pay to work. One of the reps put told her supervisor she felt ad for working there because she knew it was a scam and the supervisor basically said for her to think of it as making money for herself. Do not sign up

Did not pay them 1.95, don't give out information over the phone like credit, debit card numbers, but never received any info. on line or confirmation of any kind. It sounded good and I was gullible. Thinking of starting my own marketing company, so should all of you and do your own studies and secret shopping. I am sure it could be done with alittle ingenuity and honesty it is just collecting money for these things which is beyond me, oh well, oh yes I'd love to pay some of my debts which are piling up with no end in sight, Is the world coming to an end?

first of all this is not a scam!! yes there are definately free sites out there and yes i would participate in those. however, i do feel as though i should let people in on a little secret. the only pathetic people who feel as though they have been scammed and the very smart people who do not pay attention to what they are getting into. It is made very clear in the phone call that the initial fee is 1.95 and a monthly fee of 9.95/14.95/19.95 will be charged after 30/14 days, depending on when your sign-up date was, if they do not call to cnc prior to that window of time closing. ShopperServices even records it just in case there are any clerical errors. Only if the Cx give a yes or an ok to the info stated do they even get signed up. So it is definately the consumers fault if they: A. do not pay attention to what they said yes to and B. if they dont call after 2months+ to cnc and are charged for the monthly fee!!!

I told her I didn't feel comfortable giving her that information. She assured me that everything was legitimate I still wasn't comfortable. My phone ended up shutting off due to alow battery.

She told me to hold on then the line got cut off. Thank God I did not give the info by phone and I did not register.

i just applied to be a secret shopper from shoper services two weeks ago,and i found the regisration process confussing and frustating! I started at $1.95 and was gonna be charged $19.95 per month! A friend of mine is nice enough to pay for it through his debitbank card. when i called to cancel, the custmer service rep gave me a extra month free but reading comments about the service being a scam...I will cancel first thing monday morning!

Thank God for this thread. Called the 800 number in the pennysaver. Told her to call me back as my husband "ran out" and had the CC in the car. Came to check up on them. What's sad is so many people will fall for this... :(

All you get after signing up and paying their fees, and making your resume, and waiting for them to grade your resume is a page full of links to which they encourage you to apply to as many as possible,

For those of you who have cancelled your accounts, did it actually work? I read that some of you were given confirmation numbers and told that the 1.95 charge would be refunded. Was it? Were you ever billed again for anything?

Don't get mad - get even. And do it legally. The Federal Trade Commission monitors this stuff on a national basis. Go to ftc.gov and file a formal complaint - right now. It'll take less time than your phone call to ShopperServices.com. Then print it out so you'll have a documented copy of the action you took - in case you need it later (fraudulent use of your credit card, identity theft, etc.).

Call your local BBB, and the Atty.General's ofc., and your local newspaper if they have a "consumer watch" section.

You didn't do anything wrong, and don't stop trusting people - just be very careful about who you trust. The world needs more people like you - honest earners, and less people like them - the scammers who have to resort to these tactics to make a dishonest buck.

Good luck to you all - and remember to pay it forward!

I just wanted to make some extra cash. Buying the food or product seemed odd but I was reassured I would be paid back. After a certifaction test, two "Training tests" and a resume I learned I then had to sign up with the company and take thier test also! I put out money and now I am at a loss on what to do. PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS!!!

This information will help you: The customer representative with shopperservices with was very smooth, yet pushy and pressuring. She told me that they were registered with the better business bureau (which could mean anything). Later she had me listed as agreeing to other services when earlier I stated very strongly that I didn't want anything else. This was the red flag. I refused to do the recorded agreement on audio tape at the end of our conversation (which prevents authorization), then immediately called my credit card folks to cancel my credit card (which prevents any other billing possibility) and will have a new one sent to me within 3 to 10 days.

I was sure there is something fishy,because after asking me about the address and phone number,which they already had known,the woman came up right to credit card information.I asked twice if they had a web-site so that I can go through and then I'd make a decision.She told me I wouldn't be able to log in,if I didn't pay the register fee of $1.95.And she talked so sofly and fast,so I couldn't get everything.Always be alert for your personel information,especially when money are involved. I am glad they didn't catch me,but this is because of my bad experience in the past and my friend's mistakes like that.Somebody has to do something about it.

I contacted shopper services after seeing an advertizement in the 'want adds'. I had heard of 'secrete shopper's' and I was told how easy it was to complete the required training and start making money. I wasn't mailed anything but told to go to the website, complete some online training, then to print the training reports and 'shop' a fast food restraunt and a retail store. Then, return online and record the information. After my reports were reviewed, I would be notified via my e-mail address and provided names of places I could sign up to be a secrete shopper and make $$. I did my part. I did save all my notes taken during the initial call I had made to shoppers services, (3-25-08) Now I'm pissed off and think I'll follow up on why they didn't follow through on their end.

I have been a stay at home mom for years with four children. Bringing home extra income is imperative these days. This company takes advantage of people who are not in the workforce and do not have a vast knowledge of business internet scams. The tests that they give you and the "training" they provide set you up to never succeed in passing. I plan on reporting them to the BBB.It's all just a scam to get your money.

I was reading the New York Post and saw the ad, I figured it was a good way to make a little extra money before I went back to school.
I followed all the instructions my customer service rep "Lisa Martin" gave me. When I decided to logged on to the website and start my training, the website was not going through. I thought I had written down the website incorrectly until, I found this website. I feel so betrayed! I JUST HOPE THE NEXT PERSON WILL LOOK INTO THE RATINGS BEFORE SIGNING UP. I WOULDN'T WANT ANYONE ELSE TO BECOME A VICTIM OF THIS SCAM. IM ONLY 18 AND NOT READY TO BECOME A VICTIM OF FRAUD!

i just got this message, and when i saw that everyone was saying that the shopper services was a scam, i was highly upset. i thought this was legit,the girl i spoke to was named somica, she told me about signing up for only 1.95, that's why i joined. i sent in my first report for a retail store and they sent it back rejected, when i called to find out why, the girl said it was because i didn't fill in all the comments boxes, i was suppose to fill in all the comments boxes even if i only write a sentence, write something. if anyone has any info about how to report them and who can shut them down, please let me know

I then emailed shopper services and surplus supplier to cancel my subscription. Shopper services did, surplus supplier did not and I have now lost almost $80 to these ppl so now that I have finally found the customer service # for surplus supplier I will be wasting my day doing something that should have been done 2 months ago!!

Shopper Services is a total scam and lies, you can't get a refund from Surplus Supliers, as well as all the other comments listed by other "scamee's". I feel that the better Business Association, as well as the U.S. post office needs to know about this !!! People work too hard for what little money they get to have some fly by night scammers more or less stealing it !!

Sorry to hear you all fell fot it. I am an experienced Mystery Shopper with 50+ shops and never had to pay for anything. The minute I was asked which credit card, I told the operator,"I don't think so". The operator then said, if I was to change my mind go to the website and register. As a Mystery Shopper, you're not supposed to pay to join or register. Best Wishes & Good Luck to all!

It amazes me that not one of the posts on this site tells that a recorded audio verification is done at the end of your call. The rep went over all of the charges with me and I had to give an audible answer saying AI authorized the charges. Yes, there are allot of low paying jobs available but once you do more assignments there are assignments available that pay allot more. They told me what I put in to this is what I'll get out of it-did y'all miss that part?

( AMANDA BROWN # 6439 ) didn't even tell me about the other fees. She just told me about the free trip you get for signing up.... Then when it was time to check me order over the phone I heard what the fees were gonna be... I was stupid and still gave them my info...

I'm a former employee of shoppper services. It is a SCAM...Don't try it. It is TOTAL BS. Someone need to close this place down!! They train thier employees to SCAM. Most of the Reps on the phones are Drug Addicts and Ex Convicts.(At least 90% are) I beleive this company was created to hire ex convicts who can't find real jobs. I believe it was created by an Ex-Con.

Well just like everyone else I should have known better its not worth it. Some other company hired me and only pays 10 bucks a shop and I am suppose to be paying "shopperservices.com" 15 bucks a month. Now I am worried about my information being shared and I all I was trying to do is make a little extra money. I think as soon as you feel it in your gut it might be a bad idea follow it.
