Don’t Fall for This 2020 Census Con

In a census year like 2020, con artists pull out a scam they can only run once every 10 years – the Census Scam.

If you receive a phone call or email from someone claiming to be a census worked asking for you to provide your social security number as part of the 2020 Census, beware!

Census workers will not ask for social security numbers, nor would they ever threaten you with jail if you refuse to provide it. Ditto with attempts to “raise money” during the census.
