    Thanks for helping spread the word about these scams and how to avoid them. AboutFace is a legit company, and the person or group sending these emails is using our name to try and scam people. We do all we can to shut these people down, and we appreciate all help in making that happen. If you truly are interested in mystery shopping, it is best to start at the MSPA website. The companies listed there are all credible and will NEVER require money to become shoppers. AboutFace is one such company and I encourage you to join us. Our website, http://www.aboutfacecorp.com, has all the info you need to become a shopper for us.

    Thanks!

    Rachel Stansel, VP of Operations
    AboutFace Corp.
