"I'm a 40+ year shopper with over 11,000 jobs completed for more than a hundred companies in 17 states, Puerto Rico, and Latin America. Trendsource is one of my favorite companies because, even in pandemic times, questions sent to them are answered in a matter of hours. Plus, they recently started to pay every week which these days is amazing."

If they have to look deeper into my question they touch bases with me. I have been a field agent for many companies. TheSource is my favorite. Thank you for all that you do for me."

Beware of Scams!
As the exclusive Field Agent Database for TrendSource, TheSource is a leader and trailblazer in the mystery shopping industry. There are a lot of imposters out there, so be careful, and always remember:
- This is the only place to sign up for Mystery Shops with TheSource. Accept no substitutes.
- Never (NEVER!) pay to become a mystery shopper.
- If you received a check that seems suspicious, do not trust it! No reputable mystery shopping company under any circumstance will ever pay you for work that has not been completed.
- When in doubt, reach out to the Mystery Shoppers Professional Association (MSPA).
- If you are certain you are being scammed, reach out to the National Consumers League and contact your local authorities.
