Scammers love to take advantage of legitimate online jobs, and try to promote their own fake jobs to make money. Mystery shopping is a good example, as is data entry, both of which exist on the internet, legitimately. First of all, never pay money to get a job. The one and only legitimate online job I have ever seen that asks for a fee is called Web Colleagues. Even though they charge $49 to signup, they are recommended by Squidoo. Whenever you get spam that claims to come from Secret Shopper, though, you'll notice that it never comes from secretshopper.com. Basically, when it comes down to determining what's real and what's not in online employment, you need to do a bit of research first. Never reply to any spam offering an online job, that asks for a fee, and also asks you to reply to a free e-mail address. Chances are pretty high that it's a scam.
