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.
Despite requesting to be removed from their call list, the computer program continues to call our home phone, disregarding our 'do not call' request.
This company is legit, its a survey company, they pay you to do their surveys, I did a paper survey and they payed me.
I alredy declined to take their survey, yet they continute to call me.
After researcing, I found that Nielson is a legitamate survey company that pays real cash, so it's not a scam.
For the past few days, this number has been calling twice a day
At 09.00 am, I received an unwanted call from this number, and I warned the caller that we're on the Don't call me Registry
Surprisingly, they have been calling twice a day, and I have no idea how they obtained my unlisted number, but I finaly decided to block them after they continud to call despite my initial hang up.
Cooperation with this number likely led to repeated calls; initially, mail with a couple of dollars was received, followed by $10 after completing the survey, and subsequent interactions yielded additional compensation.
A woman with an accent answered when I returned the call, claiming to be from Nielsen in Tampa, FL, conducting a radio survey on behalf of caller number 5136961920
Despite blocking the number, nuisance calls persist, with 2-3 daily calls and no messages left between 7:45AM and 9:30PM.
Repeated calls are made early in the morning and late at night, and despite expressing disinterest, the calls continue
This number have been calling multiple times a day, even late at night, it woke up my kids during nap time and after bedtime
The calling dont stop, i am on the do not call list, but they dont care
As a senior citzen, I'm at my wits end with these calls, they come in 4-5 times a day, from 7:30am to 9:00pm, I've asked them to stop, but they just wont, and I'm on the no call list, so I dont know how they got my number in the first place.
Sending back a flyer has resulted in receiving money, and although the payout is small, it can be a fun way for kids to earn some money for their piggy banks.
Despite being registered on the do-not-call list, this company continues to call without leaving messages, and I've asked them to stop contacting me.

The constant calling has become a nusance, i would apreciate some help on how to block them permenantly, thankyou
I've been getting constant calls from this number, mornings, afternoons, and evenings, i've blocked it and contacted Nielsen, but it seems like DNC lists dont work for surveys or political callers
This number calls frequently, often between 7:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m., and does not leave a message, which raises concerns about the legality of such calls

Repeated daily calls to my home have been made, but no meaningful messages have been left.
The frequency of calls from this number is excessive, ranging from 4 to 6 times daily, often until 9 pm, yet they never engage in conversation or leave a message.
Daily calls, sometimes as early as 8:15 AM and as late as 9:20 PM, have been persistent for over a week, prompting the question of how to stop this harassment.
We get daily calls at inapropriate times, we started picking up to ask to be taken off the list, but nobody ever answers, we are on the national do not call list, dont that meny anything?
