anyone know nielsen.com? Feedback pls

Last week I got mail with congrats stuff like I won the Lotto... (straight to the trash can).

Saturday I was in the shower when someone knocked on my door. By the time I got out, I seen the person leaving and since I was in a rush and did not recognize the face, I brushed it off.

30min ago I got another knock on the door and it was the same guy with a car sales man attitude/voice. Gave me flowers and said congrats, I have been selected for nielsenTv. He gave me papers on the company and who, what, when, why they do it. No contract, signing papers, etc... no personal info or authorization needed from me, just a date for them to install the box for my TV's.

Call me crazy but I am super skeptical about this as I have never heard of the company (but he did show me newspapers with current dates stating the company name and TV stats).

My question is... has anyone ever heard of them and is it legit? I mean who would decline money for doing absolutely nothing except pressing my stat number?

Thanks for the replies. I was only interested because of how it was pitched... "you watch TV anyways, why not get some extra cash for it?". Who would not think about it lol.

Doing some research today, I think I'll pass. Sounds like there is a great deal of wires connected to the TV and an additional DVR type box that transfers the data, just don't have the time for a 6-8hr install.

For anyone in the future that will consider doing this... Under 35yr old Latinos in a bilingual home get a great increase, $500.00 for the first month and $40.00 every month after that for 23 months. Pretty good deal considering the cash reviews I have read.
