Trend Source as field agent experience anyone?

Does anyone have any experience as a field agent for Trend Source? They've been emailing me offers of assignments. How extensive are their reports? Fees seem to be on the low side if you have to drive far. However, if job is within 5 miles, it may be doable provided it doesn't take too much time to report back.

TIA!!

I just received a request to do a shopping trip with pictures, for 7.00. It was staples and I shop there often, I question whether they would appreciate my taking pictures. It Was a connection to a previous field serve co.

Talk about lowballers! For some assignments you have to purchase a money order and then cash it at the assigned check cashing business and then submit a report for which they will pay you less than $10 and reimburse you for the money order you bought. Not profitable, particularly when you tie up your own funds while waiting for reimbursement.

Why would anyone do this?!?!

So let me get this straight. You have to purchase a money order (with your own funds), then drive to a check cashing place somewhere and cash the money order, and then submit a report? And for all that hassle and driving, you get paid less than $10? No thanks! I think I'd do better doing $40 loan signings for Nations!!! (which I won't do, either, by the way)

I've worked for similar companies they are all the same. Not worth your time.
