Why Oculus Training is a legitimate telephone mystery shopping employer

We will never ask you to pay. We will never send you a check to deposit. We pay you.

A real, 20+ year company. Oculus Training has run telephone mystery shopping programs since long before “work from home” was a trend. We’re a named, searchable business, not an anonymous listing.

A real person leads us. Kevin James Saunders, our Lead Trainer, is the named human behind Oculus. Real accountability, not a faceless panel.

You never pay us anything. Not to apply, not to see calls, not to keep your account active. Ever.

No fake checks, ever. If anyone asks you to deposit a check and wire back the difference, that’s a scam, and it’s not how Oculus works.

Telephone shopping
$5.50–$6.50 CAD per completed call

Most calls take 2 to 6 minutes to place and score. Paid by direct deposit through our payroll system, or invoice us and get paid by credit card, whichever suits you better.

Grow into this
$75–$150 CAD per approved onsite audit

Available onsite mystery shopping audits, with expenses covered per program terms, typically $1,000–$2,000 CAD in covered travel and expenses per audit. Bring a spouse or friend along.

May become available after 6+ months and a clean telephone-shop record, audits are not guaranteed

This is flexible, part-time work, not a guaranteed income or a full-time replacement. We don’t make promises about how much you’ll earn, only about paying fairly and on time for the calls you complete.

Common Questions

The questions that
matter most.

Have an operational question, like pay, equipment, or training? Ask Owlene below.

  • It is real. Oculus Training is a named, searchable company with 20+ years in business, led by Kevin James Saunders. We will never ask you to pay to apply, to see call opportunities, or to keep your account active. We will never send you a check to deposit and ask for money back. You apply for free, we pay you, that is the whole arrangement.
  • No, never. Applying is free and staying active is free. Legitimate mystery shopping companies pay shoppers, they do not charge them. If anyone ever asks you to pay a fee, buy gift cards, or deposit a check on their behalf, that is a scam, and it is not how Oculus works.
  • You are paid per completed call, on your own schedule, with your choice of direct deposit or invoicing. We will confirm the exact terms with you directly during onboarding.
  • We have run telephone mystery shopping programs for 20+ years, with our own in-house trained shoppers rather than a faceless panel. We are led by a named, real expert, Kevin James Saunders, and we offer a genuine path to grow from phone shopping into higher-paying onsite audits.
