2010 Census Cautions
by Susan Johnson – August 3, 2009 12:07 pm
Be Cautious About Giving Info to Census Workers
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. While the Census Bureau might ask for basic financial information, such as a salary range, it will not ask for Social Security, bank account, or credit card numbers nor will employees solicit donations. Eventually, Census workers may contact you by telephone, mail, or in person at home. However, they 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.

If you receive a telephone call from either of the above companies, immediately hang up, DO NOT give them the courtesy of even acknowledging anything. Even if you tell them you are not interested, they will automatically give you a 30-day trial period in which to cancel the service. It did not matter that I did not accept the service, they sent through a charge of $99.95 plus $13.77 tax to my Verizon account.
The charge is submitted to Verizon by PayOne billing but when you call PayOne to dispute the charge, they transfer you to ZipWeb-eBusinessSvcGroup. Their customer service department did cancel my account with a verification number but would not refund the charge I had received.
In speaking with Verizon, at no charge, they added a 3rd party Bill Block to my accounts and reversed all charges. I am a very satisfied Tampa Verizon customer.

pay out $170 million in bonuses because they were “promised” and they need to keep their “key” employees; the very same ones that assisted in creating the business plan that caused their downfall. How dare they pay these kinds of bonuses when small businesses are struggling to stay afloat and keep their employees so that they can pay their mortgages, put food on the table, etc. Employers are cutting contributions to employee 401k plans to help with their bottom line to stay in business and the government has offered us $0 assistance. It is time for AIG to survive on what they have already received or ride off into the sunset like so many other businesses have. Are we so foolish to expect that these bonuses will get paid back? In whose lifetime do we think that will transpire.
