There are a number of mystery shopper scams out on the internet right now. The biggest is the FAKE CASHIERS CHECK scam. Be aware of this scam as it has cost many want to be mystery shoppers their life's savings, some have been lucky enough to lose only several hundred dollars.(If you can call that lucky) I don't entirely understand how it is that someone can trust someone that contacts them about a job that they the person contacted has not applied for.
There are real mystery shopping companies on the internet. You can tell the real ones from the scams. Email them and you never get a personal reply, they will not disclose their refund policy until after you have joined and they have no getting started guides to help you get going.
Your best bet in seeking a mystery shopping job is to become educated about what you are looking into. I have found that best place to start (at least in my opinion) is TopSiteReviews.Info. They have a great review of the mystery shopping industry and the companies that are mystery shopping scams and the ones that are worth investing in.

What is a mystery shopper?
A mystery shopper is a hired independent contractor (Normally all though they can be employees on occasions) that gives quality control feed back report. They report on employee knowledge, and training to ensure great customer service, cleanliness of the establishment and quality of the products or services that are being sold.
