Upon questioning the caller said she was representing Car Company.  She started asking questions about my location while offering little information as to why.  

The connection was poor.  I had to request she repeat herself several times.  When I asked why I heard an echo when speaking I was told the call was being recorded.  She had not informed me at the beginning of the call it was being recorded.  I informed her that to the best ofmy knowledge it was illegal to record calls without informing the person being recorded.  Thanked her and hung up.

When I called that number back an automated voice said that it was Venture Data Call Research and the reasons for calling were for the following:

Political poll
Consumer Research Survey
Customer Satisfaction Survey

There is no 'press x to be removed from our list but there is an email address given: comments@venturedata.com
