My name is Paula Farmer. I have been a field rep for the US Census Bureau for more than 15 years now and work from my home in Lake Co. I know there are many scams out there. Please go to CENSUS.GOV to make sure the survey you may have received is a valid Federal survey. If someone comes to your door, ALWAYS expect and EXAMINE their ID.
Are You in a Survey or Census?
Information for Survey and Census Participants
The
Census Bureau conducts a variety of censuses and surveys, not just the once-a-decade census. Every month, quarter and year we conduct surveys with households and businesses.
We use a workforce of trained federal employees to conduct a variety of household surveys by telephone and in-person interviews, as well as the mail.
If someone from the Census Bureau has visited you, and you have any questions, you may speak directly via telephone or e-mail with your Census Bureau Regional Office 800-424-6974.
If you have received a telephone call from someone at the Census Bureau, and you have any questions, you may speak directly via telephone or e-mail with an employee of the National Processing Center.
We Protect Your Information
The surveys we conduct provide information about social and economic conditions in the country, including employment, housing, manufacturing, trade, and many other topics. The questions we ask are used only to produce statistics, and you are never identified individually. For more information on how we protect your information, please see our Data Protection and Privacy Policy website.
