I received one and checked it out. It's legit. 2015 National content Test. I let the first one sit on my desk and then received another notice stating that if I didn't submit my on-line information, they would be sending someone out to obtain it. Curious, I went on line and found out that it was, indeed legit. You can also call the Census bureau, but they have all the information on their website to verify it. I doubt if a scammer is going to use the dot gov website to steal your information, but they are getting better at it every year. Also, notice that the website is using a secure https: when you log in using the code they provide you under the bar code. Use your own judgement. I figure that if it is legit and you don't wish to do it on line then you can wait and see if they send someone out. Which is safer? Better safe than sorry, is a good practice. And remember the old saying " just because one is paranoid does not mean there isn't someone out there trying to get them."
Use your best judgement and be safe. Mine turned out to be legit, but I can't promise you that yours is not a scam.
