Field Agent

This came across my desk this morning. FieldAgent.com does mobile audits and research. I haven't tried it, but the billing looks good if you're looking for extra money.

From the web:

Field Agent is one of the best apps to make money with. You download their app, fill in some info so they know who you are, and then you can start looking for jobs close to you to complete. You will typically make $3 – $12 for each job you complete. It’s as simple as that. An example of a job you can expect to do is to walk into a store and take a photo of a product, and input the price of it into your phone. Done. Companies need to know what their competitors are charging and it doesn’t make sense for them to go to each city and store to check prices themselves. They’d rather pay you a fee to do it for them.

This sounds like such a scam. Why would they pay me $3 to check a price. They could just call the store and ask. A minimum wage employee at a call center could do that a couple dozen times per hour for far less money. Plus most chain stores today have apps where you can just look up the price yourself.
