Confero has been alerted to a new type of mystery shopping scam.  Scam artists are taking Confero’s name and other company information and creating fake job postings.  They are posting these fake advertisements on various help wanted and job seeker sites.  When a potential applicant tries to apply for the position, they are asked to provide a variety of information, including personal information like Social Security Numbers.  

Confero, Inc. is not posting these job advertisements.  Our mystery shoppers register on our secure website that consumers can click on from our homepage.  Mystery shoppers are independently contacted, never hired as employees, as we cannot guarantee assignments or work.  Mystery shoppers are free to accept only those mystery shops in which they are interested and a fixed-fee amount is agreed up in advance of the shop.  Confero does not pay hourly rates.

If you see a “job” posting for Confero mystery shopping which states an hourly rate, it is a fake.  If you are interested in mystery shopping for Confero, please register with us by visiting our Shopper’ Center link at the top of this page and clicking ‘Become a Mystery Shopper.’
