“Pays2Shop – Shop for free at your favorite stores”

Pays2Shop looks like a mystery shopping company, it sounds like offering secret shopper jobs but if you are a professional in this field, you can smell the bluff!

Let’s have a look at their services:

[ A Day in the life of a mystery shopper.

Imagine a lazy afternoon "working". You sit in front of your computer in comfortable pajamas, browsing for the stuff you want, buying only the things you like. And imagine having your purchases delivered free to your home! You can get all this within the comfort of your home, all at any time in the day. Truly, being a Mystery Shopper is a dream come true for anyone that enjoys shopping!

So how does it all work again? What do I have to do?

It's so simple:

1. Register with our service

2. Choose the online store you want to shop at

3. Shop for free - keep what you buy

4. Evaluate your shopping experience ]

It looks trustworthy because real mystery shopping companies work that way and shoppers have a lot of fun doing this kind of job. If you know to look between the lines and if you have the courage to read the boring legal statements that come with that site, you understand that Pays2Shop ins’t a legit mystery shopping company but a promotional website faking to enroll secret shoppers for online shopping jobs! Lets collect a few hints confirming the assumption that this company isn’t a real secret shopping company:

1. It doesn’t offer cash for shopping assignments but an elusive shopping card that will grant you with free money to spend online. Most real mystery shopping companies pay real money or you get the purchase for free or both.

2. You can read in the FAQ: “Complete the required sponsored offers… By “completing” an offer, you are fulfilling the requirements outlined on the pop-up window that comes up when you click on an offer. For credit card offers, you must be approved for and activate that credit card to “complete” the offer.* When our sponsors report to us that you completed their offers, your Account will be updated accordingly. This will generally take 6 to 8 weeks.” In other words you will be requested to buy something or to commit to a long term service like a new credit card! With real mystery shopping companies, you will never be requested to buy anything from your pocket! To complete a shop, you may need to make a purchase but you will be reimbursed for your expense, you will keep the stuff free and you will get paid for completing the assignment.

3. Reading the Privacy Policy, you can read that Pays2Shop can change its privacy policy without any prior notice send to you. It collects personally identifiable information (it OK!) including your credit card information (it’s total abuse!) and it can use your personal information to send it to its affiliates (what a privacy!) or “to send information about additional goods or services that may be of interest to you” (you will be bombarded with promotional offers!) The privacy policy also clearly states that by registering with Pays2Shop, “you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy” or in other words you have no right to raise any complaint!

To summarize: This company will try to sell you products or services and it will crash your mail with promotional offers. You won’t get any cash and your privacy won’t be respected!

This kind of companies should be avoided like pest! You won’t make money with them, you will lose your time and you will be dashed by their dishonest practices. Worst than all, you will miss the real opportunities which are perfectly legitimate!
