Can anyone tell me what this is? Is this legitimate or not? There are lots of websites out there about this company and what they do, but honestly, I have no idea what they're talking about. I could really use some extra money, and I've heard of friends of friends who've done similar "mystery shopper" evaluations and have been paid, but can any FReepers lend thoughts about any experience with this group?
I've been with FR for quite a number of years, and I'm not advertising **at all.** I just would like to hear what my FRiends think and if you know anything about this company.
Thank you.
It’s an internet shopping network with thousands of products from hundreds of companies. Many times when you see ads on a website, many of these are done through a shopping network like linkshare. The web owner joins the shopping network, places some code on their website, and the ads are loaded each time someone views their page.
Not sure about the mystery shopper opportunity, but it is probably just being offered through the linkshare network.
I used to do mystery shopping and inspection of gas stations and movie theaters. It didn’t pay much but then I didn’t need much back then :)
I have no idea bout this Linkshare company but I’ve seen enough scams to think this is a scam.
Linkshare is legitimate - I’ve been a publisher of theirs for awhile now and have had no problems. I do not see “GuestLink” as one of their advertisers. I don’t know what that means necessarily but it might be wise to be cautious. Hope that’s some help.
