With the 2010 census about to begin, Floridians are being warned to watch out for scam artists who might pose as census workers to steal your identity.
According to the federal government, approximately 134 million households will be mailed census forms on March 1. The form includes 10 questions about your age, date of birth, race and whether you own or rent a home. It does not ask for your Social Security number or information about your taxes or income.
If you do not return a completed census form by April 1, it is likely that a census taker will either call or come to your door to obtain the information. Remember that all census takers carry official government badges. Do not provide your Social Security number or any financial information, including credit card or bank account information, to anyone claiming to represent the U.S. Census Bureau.
The Census Bureau will also not contact you by e-mail, so any website that pops up disguised as a census survey is fraudulent. For more information about the 2010 census, you can visit the U.S. Census Bureau website at http://www.census.gov.
