Nielsen Ratings

This was a legitimate call from Nielsen. My household was chosen for their current radio survey. I've done these for them in the past. They send out a booklet and ask you to keep track of the radio stations you listen to during one week and they give you a small incentive in exchange.

servey call

Oh, and for some reason they won't leave a message and will keep calling until you answer.

Survey.

I worked for a market research firm that I believe had ties to Nielsen when I was a teenager. There were people at the firm who were hooked up to an autodialer whose sole job was to ask the person who answered the phone if it was a home or a business. Then they recorded the response and the firm probably provided those lists to Nielsen and sold them to other companies.

repeated calls

Got the mail, the $1.00, and the call. After answering the question, "are you, a member of your family, or a friend involved in radio, TV, etc." I was advised because I could answer "yes", I was not eligible for the additional money that would be sent - their words "that might buy a doughnut or a cup of coffee".

No VM. Just static.

If you answer numbers you don't know,the consequence is all on you.If you do you probably trust a web link you see on the comments section.Come on people,put common back in sense.DTA!!
