Wow, a masterpiece of professional voice mail.
Do you have caller ID? I'd call back and see who answers.
I swear, the schedulers must be taking their stupid pills today. I just got an email from another one with a list of addresses asking me to email back which shops I would be interested in. No mention of what the shops are, how much they pay, or even who the MSP is (I couldn't tell from the email address).
Just locations. That's all.
Must be something in the water.

I did. I left a message to the effect that if she wanted me to resend the report today, she needs to call me back and TELL ME WHO SHE IS!!!!

You mean Mystery shoppers aren't the only ones to error, that's good to know!
Live consciously....
OK not on the quite the subject but I got a message on my machine. It offered me a $2 bonus to do a gas shop, IN ANOTHER STATE. 125 miles away. Right my car gets such great mileage I can go that far on $5 in gas.

No, but she sent a followup email.

I got an email that a company was desperate for a shop to be done "today", a HUGE $5 bonus on the fantastic $7 fee and it was in Indiana. I'm in New York state.

Easy ... I am not a Psych-IC -- I am a Psych - O!
Following along with the not enough information rant:
This morning I received an email titled, "Fun and easy shops available."
It then gave a short description of the shop and crappy pay offered, and listed 18 locations strictly as "Los Angeles, CA"
Umm...how would I reply to that? "I'll take the shop in Los Angeles?"
It's a rather big city. I'm not going to play MS roulette and get a shop that may as well be in another state. Even worse, a part of town that I wouldn't really want to find myself in.
I always suspect that when info is left out, it's in order to lull unsuspecting shoppers into to taking shops, then not canceling out of fear from being deactivated.
Fun & easy almost always equates to long and arduous. If you need to sell a shop like that, something is off. And who considers spending an hour in a car dealership, negotiating the price of a new car, to be fun.

"Fun and easy" is the bait to get you to the $14 part. I agree that not providing the address is a further attempt to seal the deal.

Steve, once, in the middle of a new car shop at one of those "no haggle" dealerships the sales person was explaining that the owner of this huge dealership actually paid people to go out and "shop" the competition to check out their prices and tactics. We both had a laugh as I said, "Golly, I can't think of a worse way to make a living than negotiating with car salesmen all day!"
