It’s that time of the decade again.
More than 140,000 U.S. Census workers will attempt to count every person in the nation for the 2010 Census, and the first phase is under way.
The Better Business Bureau is urging people to be cooperative, but also cautious when giving out information.
The BBB states that if a U.S. Census worker comes to your door, he or she will have a badge, a hand-held device, a Census Bureau canvas bag and a confidentiality notice.
Before answering any questions, ask to see the person’s badge and never invite anyone you don’t know inside your home, the BBB says.
A census worker might ask for general financial information, such as a salary range, but never for Social Security, bank account or credit card numbers.
Census workers also will never seek donations. Workers may contact people by telephone, mail or at their home, but will never contact anyone by e-mail.
Anyone who believes someone is trying to obtain information for fraudulent activity is asked to contact their local police department.
