Be Wary of Fake Census Takers.

Arcadia PD have a great blog. In it they have "Tuesday Tips" which has all sorts of relevant and great info for us. Being neighbors what happens there isn't that dissimilar from what happens here in Monrovia.

This week's tip was to be wary of FAKE "Census Takers" and gives invaluable information regarding how to ID a real "Census Taker". They also point out the potential for identity theft with the fakes.

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.
Be safe, take care Frank and Renee
