IT IS LEGIT
It really is Neilson survey for media. This was our second call in a few months.
They did send small gratuity (their words "enough for a doughnut or cup of coffee")
Very polite non-intrusive
Tried to select SURVEY on drop down menu below but it only let's me select 'unknown'
Nielsen has been calling for about 10 days. Twice a day. Have received calls as late as 10pm. Only once did they leave a message stating a Nielsen Rep would be stopping by (uninvited). They sure did at 8pm pounding on the door and insistent ringing of doorbell. I was in bed due to odd hours of my schedule. They have called on Sunday and on Memorial day. It has actually reached the point of harassment. I do not have cable tv as I cut the cord sometime ago. This phone number is now blocked. Will not under any circumstances respond to this company.
The money is real. They compensate you to complete surveys about the media.... haven't you ever heard of the Nielson Ratings? It is for helping ad companies radio stations and tv stations to know which type of advertising is best suited for which stations. And yes, they can "just send you mail".... It is no different than local businesses sending coupons in the mail to you.
