The US Census Bureaun will begin going door to door in 2010,be careful of imposters.Please see Web mess for more info

With the U.S. Census process beginning, the Currituck County Sheriff's Office advises people to be cooperative, but cautious, so as not to
become a victim of fraud or identity theft. The first phase of the 2010
U.S. Census is under way as workers have begun verifying the addresses
of households across the country. Eventually, more than 140,000 U.S.
Census workers will count every person in the United States and will
gather information about every person living at each address including
name, age, gender, race, and other relevant data.

The big question is - how do you tell the difference between a U.S.
Census worker and a con artist?
If a U.S. Census worker knocks on your door, they will have a
badge, a handheld device, a Census Bureau canvas bag, and a
confidentiality notice. Ask to see their identification and their badge
before answering their questions. However, you should never invite
anyone you don't know into your home.

Census workers are currently only knocking on doors to verify
address information. Do not give your Social Security number, credit
card or banking information to anyone, even if they claim they need it
for the U.S. Census.


REMEMBER, NO MATTER WHAT THEY ASK, YOU REALLY ONLY NEED TO TELL THEM
HOW MANY PEOPLE LIVE AT YOUR ADDRESS.

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.

AND REMEMBER, THE CENSUS BUREAU HAS DECIDED NOT TO WORK WITH ACORN ON
GATHERING THIS INFORMATION.. No Acorn worker should approach you
saying he/she is with the Census Bureau.


Eventually, Census workers may contact you by telephone, mail, or in
person at home. However, the Census Bureau will not contact you by
Email, so be on the lookout for Email scams impersonating the Census.

Never click on a link or open any attachments in an Email that are
supposedly from the U.S. Census Bureau.

Census workers are usually by themselves when they approach homes but occasionally you may see them in pairs. You should not see more than two Census Bureau employee's during a home visit.
If you have any further questions call the Sheriff's office at 453-8204 or 232-2216 after hours.
