Note there are multiple grammatical errors in it. This person knows a little about secret shopping, however, a personal assistant as the ad indicates is not a mystery shopper. I decided to look up the company & found multiple scam reports for them. A legit mystery shopping company never promises a specific amount of income. You are competing for jobs with others in the same area & no income is guaranteed.
