Dear Yelena,
 

Thank you for reading this message.

We are an international quality consumer research company with offices in the US and in Belgium.   This year we will have several projects in Ukraine, for which we will need people who are willing to do an assignment for us as a mystery shopper.
 
What is Mystery Shopping? Mystery Shoppers are people who visit various shops (clothing, restaurants, hotels etc.) acting as potential customers. The only difference between a real customer and a Mystery Shopper is that a Mystery Shopper gets an opportunity to comment the service he/she has received and in this way to improve the customer service. In addition, mystery Shoppers are paid for shopping! This is a fun and interesting way to earn some extra money. But please keep in mind that this is not a fulltime employment.
 
Shoppers will be able to do as many shops as they want.  The shoppers, who are signed up in our system, will be updated on these offers.  If you are interested to participate or if you know anyone (friends, family, colleagues, students, and expats) who might be interested to do an assignment for us, please sign in at our website.  
 
If you have any further questions or suggestions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Have met 'mystery shoppers' elsewhere and before. Of course, the guys advertising here may be different, but - the ones I met were suggesting 'interesting' jobs like, you go to this-and-that shop on this-and-that day, and evaluate their service quality, and you'll have a 22% discount on whatever you buy there...
Simply a trick, a scam, but perhaps not quite swindle from a legal point of view.
So, before you commit to anything, I suggest that you make very sure what it is you commit to!

Dear Claus and other potential mystery shoppers,

Please note that this is not a trick or swindle! When you visit our website, you'll see that we are an international company, existing already a while.
It's true that you have to evaluate the service of a particular store and fill out an online questionnaire afterwards, but we always pay the agreed fee to our mystery shoppers.
If you still have questions or doubts, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Dear Admin, An idea. The Moscow expat site does not allow blatant commercial advertising like this. I think Ukraine should do likewise.
