Don't let greed let you drop your guard

Many online and offline scams exist, because greed and quick returns for little or no work, is what drives all the conmen to easily take your money!.

If you really are seeking a job or change of career, remember to check if the agency you are dealing with is approved by the Human Resources Ministry. In Malaysia you can check at http://www.mohr.gov.my/

Remember agencies get paid from the employers and by law, the most they can take for your registration is RM12. If they ask for more, just call up 03-88865000 to enquire if the agency is approved and registered.

As for online agencies, remember this - with computerisation, there are no more typing jobs, filling forms or stuffing envelopes!. Don't be conned by the promise of earning hundreds weekly or big bucks!.

There is no free lunch in the world - unless you are a mystery shopper and can get paid to eat at restaurants and hotels in your area.

Since January 2008, I have been paid RM 2593 for eating at KFC, Mcdonalds and Pizza Hut and from May 2008, I have started with another company and will be getting paid RM 105 for pumping Mobil petrol twice and eating at Sushi King once.

I have written an ebook on how to go about mystery shopping in Malaysia, how to register with these 2 companies, and how and when to select assignments and ensure you get the best deal for your mystery shopping jobs.

If you would to get paid having fun eating and pumping petrol, I am selling this Guide to Mystery Shopping in Malaysia it in my ebay store for just RM 97 / US$ 27 / S$ 47.
