[fcb-l] Caution! 2010 sensus!

[Kirk]

Charles, the comment giving reference to ACORN not working with the Census 
Bureau was a additional comment by the sender if you notice. It starts out 
sasking people to remember, than his comments. I am assuming that he was 
referening to all the national and local news about ACORN getting the 
contract to work with the Census and then after all the negative information 
came out about them were ddropped from that proggram and effort! This is how 
I read into it Charles. It was sent to me from a president of a State in our 
BVA organization and personal friend, Kirk

  Kirk,

  I looked on the BBB Web site and saw the list of things to be aware of; 
however, there was nothing mentioning Acorn. Where did you get that 
information?

  Thanks,

  Charles "Randy" Randall

  Hello all, I just thought I would pass this along for all of you as a 
caution to the new census  that is to start soon! Your friend in the cause,

  Census to Begin

  With the U.S.. Census process beginning, the Better Business Bureau (BBB)
  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? BBB offers the following advice:

  **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 E-mail, so
  be on the

  lookout for E-mail scams

  impersonating the Census.

  Never

  click on a link or open any attachments in an E-mail
  that are

  supposedly from the U.S. Census Bureau.

  PLEASE SHARE THIS INFORMATION WITH FAMILY AND

  FRIENDS.
