Utah Better Business Bureau
The Utah Better Business Bureau is warning residents to be cautious about giving unnecessary information to Census workers. With the U.S. Census process beginning, the BBB advises people to be cooperative but cautious, so as not to become victims of fraud or identity theft. The BBB says the first phase of the U.S. Census has begun to verify addresses of households across the country. States will gather information about every person living at every address, including names, ages, gender, race or other relevant data. Relevant data could include salary ranges but legitimate Census workers have no authority to ask questions about your financial situation, social security or bank account numbers. The BBB says if a Census worker knocks on your door, they will have a badge, a handheld device and a Census Bureau canvas bag and confidentiality notice.
