A call from this Indianapolis VOIP number arrived today.  When the answering machine picked up, a fast-talking male voice asked for feedback for Angie's List and provided an 888 area code number and a website for a response.  The guy talked so fast over a poor connection it was difficult to understand what was said, even after playing back the message several times.

This is not terrible in and of itself, but a better approach for Angie's List would have been to send an e-mail to each subscriber, instead of a fast-talking messenger whose voice is indistinguishable from the telecriminals we beleaguered consumers contend with daily.

This is Angie's List, calling for information/opinions.  A reasonable enough call, but I don't feel like giving them my time right now, and I wish they'd have their name on the caller ID.  I don't understand the secrecy -- I don't pick up unknown/unidentified numbers.

Received the call, didn't answer because I didn't recognize it.

I will not answer unidentified calls. No message was left so it can't be that important!
