2010 CENSUS CAUTIONS

Be Cautious About Giving Info to Census Workers. The first phase of the 2010 U.S. Census is under way as workers have begun verifying the addresses of households across the country.

The big question is "How do you tell the difference between a U.S. Census Worker and a Con Artist"?

The Better Business Bureau (BBB) offers the following advice:

If a U.S. Census Worker knocks on your door***, they will have the following:
1) A badge
2) A hand-held device
3) A Census Bureau canvas bag, and
4) A confidentiality notice

Ask to see their IDENTIFICATION AND THEIR BADGE before answering their questions. HOWEVER, you should NEVER invite anyone you don't know into your home.

***Census Workers are currently only knocking on doors to verify address information.

DO NOT GIVE YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER, CREDIT CARD OR BANKING INFORMATION TO ANYONE, EVEN IF THEY CLAIM THEY NEED IT FOR THE U.S. CENSUS!

While the Census Bureau might ask for basic financial information such as salary range, it WILL NOT ask for Social Security, Bank Account, or Credit Card Numbers. Census Workers WILL NOT solicit donations.

Eventually, Census Workers may contact you by telephone, mail, or in person at home. They will not contact you by Email.


Announcements are due by 12:00 noon on Wednesdays
