A Nielsens rep said if we let them install a 'ratings box' to our TV, we get $100- month. is this for real

The lady rep said they will install a "ratings box" to our TV and someone will come every month to check on what shows we watched. For each such visit, we get $100. is this for real or a scam? any tips on where I can get more info about this?

regards

Nielsen is not a scam. They do put boxes on TV to measure viewing.



I am though a bit concerned that the person who contacted you was not from Nielsen -- this may have been a scam designed to get into your house. There are a few things in your description that differ from how Nielsen works.



Do some homework. Get her business card and call the number. Verify that it's Nielsen you are talking to. I wish I could be a Nielsen home but I'm in the business so never could be. I think it would be cool -- just make sure it is really Nielsen who wants to come into your home.
