It is an unsolicited call made at 8pm. I don't care if it's a scam or not - it is unsolicited. Get a job that does not involve harassing people!

Caller: KANTAR

NOT A SCAM. these people are just doing market research for Nielsen Television Audience measurement.
If you do the call they wont call you ever again. just research for the TV ratings for the whole of Australia.

NOT A SCAM. JUST DOING A SINGLE SURVEY NOTHING ELSE.

If we don’t reach a certain survey KPI we will get harassed and abused by our supervisors (most of us are students just trying to do a part time job lol) SO PLS IF U CAN JUST DO THE SURVEY :)

Hey, I work here. We are calling from Kantar on behalf of Nielsen Television Audience Measurement. It’s a one-off call to update the TV ratings in Australia. It is not a scam or marketing call. The toll free number is 1800 665 281.

SCAM

I am on a do not call register So how come I am getting called? I also had my number removed from a couple of companies who keep details that they sell to companies like Kantar & Nielsen who are suppose to match with the do not call register before calling.

Interesting they called me and said they were from Newcastle Permanent doing a survey very questionable in my opinion and how would they know who banks with them

Who cars if you are students or not
SCAM

Scam call

I am on the don not call list, so its a unwanted annoying call that you cannot determine if is legit anyway. So it is a scam unless they wish to provide account detail to be billed for my time first.

It is something the government needs to take hold of & fine people that ring either scammers or anyone in a unsolicited call. I do not donate to anyone who calls and block every call other than those in my contacts.

Just sick of the bombardment of calls.

Simply if you did not request the contact then block the number, report it and they will research in this case in a normal manner with people they pay, not people they steal time from by calling!

Caller: Scam

Do want want this to call my number !

For the person who commented about Newcastle Permanent, The numbers are from Newcastle permanent, thats how they know who banks with them. Newcastle Permanent have asked Kantar to do the research on behalf of them. They even have a disclaimer on their website that Kantar is doing research for them and that it is all legit

The Do Not Call register only applies to Sales calls and telemarketing where there is a sales component. This is stated on the DNC website, you can call them and confirm. The DNC register does not apply to market research. Kantar and Nielsen didnt get your number from anywhere. To maintain the TV Ratings panel, the numbers Kantar gets have to be from a process called RDD (Random Digit Dial) which is exactly what it sounds like. This is to make sure Kantar talks to an unbiased sample of Australian households. Get a random representative. For the study to work, it cannot be from any list of any sort. Hope this helps

SCAM Bastards, get a real job scumbags

Called on a Sunday afternoon whilst I was at the footy.
Do they have no manners whatsoever calling people on weekends.
Blocked.

That only applies to telemarketing. It doesn't apply to market research. You always have the option to just ask to be removed though.

Caller: (02) 9184 3890

Same here, sh*t they know a lot about you as well.

In response to the various people representing the company calling from this number. Calling random people who did not sign up or ask to be called is spam. Calling people to take their personal data to then profit from is absolutely a scam. You are bothering random people, for your own profit, and they get nothing in return...

Caller: Michael from (something) "Field Services"

Called me at 5.45pm doing a survey for the Victorian Government (an 02 number?). Very polite, asking if I had a few minutes - I didn't. Wished me a good night.

f*ck off then c*nt! Nobody wants to know about it. Beat it!
