NOTE ON 2010 CENSUS!
Make sure you get Identification from anyone who comes to your door claiming to be
from the government census bureau. We know that extra workers will be hired for the
2010 census but do not give them your Social Security Number. That number is not for
identification purposes, except for the Social Security department regarding your account
only. Yes I know everyone wants your number, but don't give it to someone who may be a
crook looking to withdraw money from your account!
There are supposed to be 10 questions that they will be asking but you do not have to
answer any questions except how many people live at your address. The number of people
determines your representation in Congress and also apportionment of federal dollars.
Do not answer any questions for other people!
Check also this WARNING from the Better Business Bureau:
"Be Cautious About Giving Information to Census Workers" - By Susan Johnson
With the U.S. Census process beginning, the Better Business Bureau (BBB) advised people
to be cooperative, but cautious, so as not to become a victim of fraud or identity theft.
The first phase of the 2010 U.S. Census is under way as workers have begun verifying the
addresses of households across the country. Eventually, more than 140,000 U.S. Census
workers will count every person in the United States and will gather information about
every person living at each address including name, age, gender, race, and other
relevant data.
The big question is - how do you tell the difference between a U.S. Census worker and a
con artist?
BBB offers the following advice:
If a U.S. Census worker knocks on your door, they will have a badge, a handheld device,
a Census Bureau canvas bag, and 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 no matter how cold it may be. Get a
coat so you can stand outside with them during the questions.
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.
REMEMBER, NO MATTER WHAT THEY ASK, YOU REALLY ONLY NEED TO TELL THEM HOW MANY PEOPLE
LIVE AT YOUR ADDRESS!
While the Census Bureau might ask for basic financial information, such as a salary
range...YOU DON'T HAVE TO ANSWER ANYTHING AT ALL ABOUT YOUR FINANCIAL SITUATION.
The Census Bureau will not ask for Social Security, bank account, or credit card numbers,
nor will employees solicit donations. Any one asking for that information is NOT with
the Census Bureau.
AND REMEMBER,THE CENSUS BUREAU HAS DECIDED NOT TO WORK WITH ACORN
ON GATHERING THIS
INFORMATION.
No ACORN worker should approach you saying he/she is with the Census
Bureau.
Eventually, Census workers may contact you by telephone, U.S. mail, or in person at home.
However, the Census Bureau will not contact you by E-mail, so be on the lookout for
E-mail scams impersonating the Census.
Never click on a link or open any attachments in an E-mail that are supposedly from the
U.S. Census Bureau.
