I got a letter in the mail last week from the Nielsen ratings company saying I had been selected to rate radio stations in my area. The letter warned me that they would be calling me in the next few days. I was not interested and never replied. They have now been calling me twice a day for the past four days. They never leave a message. I recently bought a call blocker for my home phone and have this number on the list to be blocked. Unfortunately, the Nielsen people are undeterred. I have an unpublished number and am on the do not call list. I have no idea how they got my information.
This company does send you money for answering their questions and filling out their surveys. I have made a few bucks so far for simply sharing my opinions.
