These people are scammers!If you gave them your card information,call your bank and cancel your card,i did!They take $1.95 from your account,and tell you to go online and do your first assignment,but you acctually come to this page of comments.Don't believe nor trust these people,they are horrible!

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

I also tried to sign up and NOOOOOOO I could not get in as well and yes there are other shopper sites that are free check out wahm.com there are a lot of free shopper sign ups there don't cost a thing to sign up
I canceled soon as I heard this review I even had to cancel my card and get a new acct so that no more charges would go through.

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? What happened to the good old american dream? was it outsourced with everything else? We should say 'I'm tired of this and I not going to take it any more'! good luck all Ed

I just signed up yesterday and tied to get on training site today, and of course won't let me on. Will be calling to cancel soon as possible. They told me everything that they told everyone else. I will be contacting me newspaper and ftc with this one. I have been out of work and they getting ready to foreclose on my house. Wanted to try and make some good money quickly so could save my house. I have looked into these shopper things before and most were a rip off, but didn't seem to think this one was.

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!!! Oh yes and about the bonus programs! there have been loads of those and ... read more »

But I was paid for what work I did for Shop & Chek in one of the southern states 2 years ago. I am trying this to see if it works, if not, I'll be very upset!

I called about the mystery shoppers ad in the penny saver. The person I talked to had me going for a while there, but then she asked for a credit or debit card number, I asked if could mail a money order to them she said no. 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. I decided to check their site out and I came across this site. Thank God.

Well, I did it and gave them my info and a few minutes later saw this after looking for the website. They told me I have to call back in 24-48 hours to cancel this bc my account hasnt gone thru. This is such a crock I am having them run it in the paper and callin our paper to tell them.

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.

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!

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!

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 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 !!!

I just recently signed up for shopperservices trying to make some money.I got the job listing online.When I keyed in shopperservices and looked to the side and saw shopperservices scam and clocked on that and saw these reviews.I just called from my cell phone which is the number I registered with and got no answer.Then I called from the home phone and got an immediate answer.I was told by Patrick #4070 that it should be no problem canceling and he gave me the number to customer service.of course,they are closed.If I cant get anyone on the line Monday my card will definitely be canceled! I will keep you updated!

Thought I'd try it- when I logged on the the website address I got yours instead. What an eye opener. I called and got through to a woman named Jackie who was very nice and cancelled the membership right away. I told her what had happened and she didn't even try to talk me out of it!

Thanks!

omg! i just signe up to be a mystery shopper. i fiured it would be legit because mystery shoppers used to come to my job all the time! i didn't think i'd get scammed. i went to log in to the shopper services website and could not even log in! when i called customer service this lady told me that the servers were down andi should try back in an hour... yea right. in the mean time i've read all of these horror stories and i'm wondering if i just made a big mistake! to think all i wanted to do was make a little extra money for college...

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?

You know these scam artist should not be aloud to do this to us!!!!!! I am a single mother of a 6 year old little girl and i know a $1.95 isn,t alot of money, but the women I spoke to on the phone
( 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... Then I tried to log into the website and this is what I find..... Thanks for the info.... I am canceling right now!!!!!

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.

I guess we all fell for it!!!1 Its so funny how going on this website opend my eyes. After getting off the phone I felt so exited, that i couldent wait to go and do my training on line, and to my surprise I came across many people who have been scammed, just like me. These people are just trying to husstle volnurable people. So do ur self a favor, if you see this before you contact these loosers, FORGET about it. Remember its never to late! Call and cancell ur accounts now!!!!

UGh! This is one disgusting SCAM! STAY AWAY!! Logged on to the website provided and got onto this site, and freaked out that I,like so many others, got scammed. After reading about the appalling experiences of so many, I immediately called the "customer services" number, and was never able to get through... There's No way to cancel if you can't even contact them! Called my CC company and am having a new card issued (takes 5 business days)and a fraud alert put on my account. For all of you out there,it's probably the only way to prevent future unauthorized charges to your account. The $1.95 is no big deal, but I'm greatly concerned about future fraudulent activity by these con artists.

HELP! I’ve been scammed by shopperservices.com. I am new to mystery shopping. Shoppersevervices was the first company I signed up with, and they railroaded me. Over the phone they told me they needed my email address, phone number and physical address. I thought this would be for business reasons; to contact me for assignments. I immediately began getting SPAM, telemarketers, and junk mail. They also needed my credit card information for postage and handling of $9.95 to send me training material. I also had to pay two more fees of $9.95 for some kind of shopping and traveling discount programs. I had about 12 days if I wanted to cancel. I was told the material would be here in 5 days. It arrived in 10. The training material was nothing but a few pages of a disclosure filled with legalese. Snuggled in this mess in very small print were two more fees of about $30.00 each. There are twelve days in the trial period and it took 10 day for me to get the material. Now there are 2 days left. I... read more »

I fell for the ad in the RJ, and called to apply. I spoke with a rep, giving her the info requested, then got all the other add-ons brought up. I declined them, stating I just wanted to apply for the Mystery Shopper.
I was told to log on and fill in the form on line.
When I logged on I came upon this site, and read thru it, realizing I had really blew it!
I have called to cancel, without completing their "test", and was given a confirmation number for the cancellation, and told my $1.95 would be creditied within 5-7 working days.
Don't fall for it!

I called Shopper Services the same as everyone else. When I mention contacting the BBB after they gave me their shpeel, they told me that I didn't have to decide today if I wanted to join. They claimed they were listed, I found no listing for them. There was no way I would give out a cc# without checking with the BBB.

As the wife of a police officer you would think I would have known better. I saw the ad in the local paper. My oldest daughter had been a "secret shopper" in NC. I thought this was the same type of thing. After I had given all of my information, including my cc, to operator #4115, Lonisha Freeman, as well as being put in to "Surplus Supplier.com, American Leisure and Easy Saver", costing $7.84 all together, did I began to wonder if this right. After I got off the phone I called my daughter to ask her about it. She advised that she never had to pay for anything. She sent me a list of the companies she dealt with. When I got on line to look up this company I came across this site first. After reading all of the comments I knew that I had been had. I called the phone number, 866-297-1823, to cancel. I spoke with Joseph and was given a cancellation #; the phone # for "Surplus Supplier", 877-414-5117; "Easy Saver", 877-844-9554; and "American Leisure", 877-564-8538.

I too, fell for the sales pitch and decided I couldn't go too far wrong with an investment of 5.85, so agreed to the program.
I tried 4 or 5 times to log on for the training and
after doing as instructed (and reviewing their instructions)never did get anything except there was record for me. I just checked THIS web site and am now telling them I want to cancel. I was on hold for over 20 minutes before speaking to anyone and was given a little hard time when I simply said I wanted to cancel. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one to fall for their deal, but am among a group of people who did the same dumb thing!! I was told that only one 1.95 would be credited to my card and that they have the recording of me agreeing to 2 additional charges of 1.95 each and that I understood they are not refundable. I certainly didn't understand it that way. So be it - I've learned a valuable lesson and guess I won't go broke if in fact I will be responsible for the 2 charges of 1.95. I also ca... read more »

Hello Everyone. After reading all the comments about shopper services I believe that just today I made a very BIG and STUPID mistake. I did give all the requested info and now after researching this company I am stuck for words. Does anyone have one good thing to say about the mystery shopper business. I need to know. I will call on Sat. Feb.23,08 to cancell this whole thing. Will let you know how it goes. I was able to sign on and take the exams and passed with good % rate. I even called the customer service number 1-888-727=0593 and the woman who answered my call sounded very professional and answered my questions. Help me I need to know what to do!!!!!! Dis anyone call the BBB and see if this is a true and good company?

I too fell for this scam. In the middle of shoppers conversation I relized something was not right. I decided not to join and asked that my credit card not be charged. I was told that I would not be charged any fees. I checked my account the next day and I was charged $1.95. I've called my credit card company and have cancelled my card. Please tell your newspaper editor about this scam. Hopefully we can stop this scam.

It's so sad to know that people are out there like this. I fell hook line and sinker thinking this was a great way to generate extra income and all I got was misery. My account was charged 1.95 not once but 3 times. I canceled on today thanks to the above comment that gave the correct phone number since the number I was given in the beginning for cancellation was always busy.Thanks Kathy from Cleveland for the info.

I was online with Rodwyn Baker, and he became so ugly and pushy that I became concerned and told him I had changed my mind. I hung up, and he called me back, and got even pushier. I told him that when I hung up this time, not to call me back. That my husband, upon hearing the conversation (he was shouting so loud on the phone that my husband could hear him from 8 feet away) told me to hand up, and definately not do it.

After signing up with shopperservices.com for the $1.95 fee to take the course and providing my credit card info, I received several automated telephone calls requesting my SS# and other confidential credit card verification information that my credit card company already has including the card number itself.

This truly sounds like the multi level scam of all scams. BEWARE!

While looking thru our local Penny Saver .. Found this great job.. Shop and get paid. Sounded great! Boy was I scammed. My sales guy Blake was quite the Sales man! He was a fast talker and had all the answers. He even sounded like a Robot. Trained well to Scam. Unfortunately I fell for it! I gave my credit card and my husband completely went crazy. Found this message board and confirmed it was a Scam. I just got off the phone with my credit card company and cancelled. They are sending me another card and I will still have to pay my 1.95.. Guess I didn't lose to much. Be ware of this Scam! Don't fall for it!
