Turns out these rings are almost certainly Nielsen survey solicitations. Callers dial early mornings and late evenings, often multiple times a day, pressing you for opinions on TV or radio ratings and sometimes slipping a one‑dollar “gift” to sweeten the ask. While the outreach is legal, the frequency can feel harassing, especially for folks on the Do‑Not‑Call registry. The safest move is to opt‑out directly with Nielsen—most scripts include a polite request to be removed—or use your phone’s blocking feature and report the number to the FTC. If the calls persist, consider filing a complaint with the FCC’s robocall complaint portal.
I know that Neilson ratings somtimes sends money in the mail for participating in surveys, but this call from this number seemed suspicious.
I recieve daily calls from this number, they even sent me a dollar, claiming to be Nielsen, but its a scam.
I received mail from this company, including a dollar bill, and was asked to complete a short survey about radio listening habits. After completing the survey and returning it, I received $10 in cash, and they sent me additional surveys with $2 in each. If I complete these surveys, they promise to send another $10 per survey, making it a worthwhile opportunity
This was a call from Nielsen Media, they was following up on a survey, they gave me instruction on how to document what I listen to on the radio
Regarding a radio listening survey
The call is from Nielsen, I am on the do not call list, my number is unlisted and unpublished, but they keep calling me, like 3 times a day, they are relenetless, I hope they stop calling me
Being on the do-not-call list hasn't stopped unfamiliar numbers from calling me, and I'm puzzled as to why they never leave a voicemail
This number has called me 6 times this week, i never answer and they never leave a message, i finaly blocked the number, the do not call list doesnt seem to work.
A call from this number was answered by a machine, but no one spoke, and as a policy, unrecognized numbers and survey requests are ignored.
I have successfully blocked this number on both my cellphone and house phone, effectively resolving the issue
Daily, we receive multiple calls from this number, but we refrain from answering them.
Nielsen, a company that tracks radio and TV ratings, has been sending numerous mail advertisements and making repeated phone calls to my area over the past three days, offering incentives such as cash in the mail, but it's essential to be cautious and not feel obligated to respond, as their intention is to collect and resell data at a significant markup.
After 9:30 p.m., any calls to my house will be met with a stern response, and I'm eagerly awaiting the next one.
Despite being on the DNC list, we've been subjected to numerous calls from this number, with a total of 21 attempts to reach us at inconvenient hours; they're trying to solicit information for Nielsen, which will likely be sold to third parties
Can you please stop calling me 3 times a day, i'm not interested in your telemarketing and it's an invasion of my privicy
Daily calls from this number have become a nuisence, especialy after doing som research and discovering that Nielsen is likely a telemarketing company involed in TV ratings, apparantly they've been arround for a wile.
Recieved a suprise call from 513-696-1920 at 10:50 pm, they appologized for the late call then proceded to talk about tv/radio ratings, i was extremly annoyed and hung up imediatly !
This number has been calling multiple times daily, from early morning to 9:00 PM, seven days a week, and despite requesting to be removed from their records, they continue to insist on my participation.
The caller claimed to be from Nielson
Repeated calls from this telemarketer have been made to my residence, even at late hours of the night, and it's becoming a harassment issue since no messages are being left to clarify the purpose of these calls.

Despite being on the no-call list, this number has dialed me five times within two weeks.
Daily calls, often multiple times a day, including as late as 9:00 pm, have been received from this number, which is deemed to be a nuisance.
Using a air horn or whistle wont bother the caller, it will just hurt your ear more
Regular calls have been received, and despite being on the National Do Not Call registry, the calls persist, with the callers being pushy and aggressive
This number wont stop calling me, especialy late at night, with 3-4 calls per day, it's getting anoying.
No message was left, and this number has called me multiple times. I'm convinced it's a scam, as I don't answer calls from unrecognized numbers.
I want to let every body know, that this call is legit, it's the Nielsen TV and Radio rating company, they send you surveies by mail, and you can actualy get money for participating, no scam's or joke's, just a legit survey.
