Do not reply if you recieve this invitation. Its BOGUS.
I have worked off and on, part time, for a couple of different "secret shopper' companies.
This isn't one of them.
Just look at the "sent by" line:
From: "Howell Martins" <hmmartins@webmail.com>
I got this email from two different "people" today.
If it were a legitimate company, the sent by would have read something like: "H.Martins@secretshopper.com
And no company pays anywhere close to $200.00 per assignment.
Anyway, for your entertainment, here's the email:
"We have a mystery shopping assignment in your area and we would like you to participate"
