THIS IS A SCAM. The FTC warns about the secret shopper scam here http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/alerts/alt151.shtm and here http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/credit/cre40.shtm  If you fall for it, there are endless ways you can be screwed. One of the worst is they ask you to test Western Union wire services by sending you a check, you cash it at your bank and wire the money to them. The check is fake but it will take days for your bank to find out and in the meantime, *your* cash that you wire them will be in their hands (wires takes short hours to complete). Your account will be in the red when the check bounces and you may be prosecuted for passing a bad check.
If they tell you to wire the money in the name of a friend or a relative but not tell them about it and for you to return in a few days to cancel the wire and get a refund, they may just send a warm body pick the money up at the other end using a fake ID. Or the story could change in mid-stream, like they may want you to change the destination to a city of the scammer's choice, saying they want to test the WU office at a certain location using your transfer but it's safe because your friend or relative doesn't even live in that city. Believe me, they *WILL* get *YOUR* money if you wire it.
There are legit sites that you can sign up on to become a legit secret shopper but *NONE* of them pays $50/hour or $400/task as promised by some scams! THIS IS A SCAM.
