“How do I get a list of companies who are mystery shopped and looking to pay to do so?” — Charles P.

EPMS is a mystery shopping company that has a good reputation among mystery shoppers. They specialize in apartment shops, which are often some of the higher paying shops available. They do have extensive reports, but most shoppers say that the extra effort is worth it for the extra pay.

So I definitely recommend registering with them.
