HOW TO IDENTIFY A CENSUS TAKER
The BBB is partnering with the census and advises: The 2010 Census may have you wondering whom you can trust. The census is easy, important and safe – just fill out your form and mail it back – but if you don’t mail it back, a census taker will knock on your door. Here are tips to help you identify a census taker. They will have an official badge, shoulder bag, and confidentiality document. If you ask, they will give you a phone number to their local census office. They will ask just 10 questions, but they will never ask for social security, bank account, or credit card numbers.
