I called the phone number the form provided to answer any questions concerning privacy, spoke with a female named "Sandra", and expressed my concerns. She did not help in any way before terminating our call by calling me a "stupid man", and hanging up. Very unprofessional!

Just wondering if any others here have received such a strange request from the "U.S. Census Bureau". I am tempted to shred it and forget it in this era of SCAMS. Would appreciate your comments, please. --Thank you.
You bet it's a scam. I used to work for the Census Bureau and there is no way that is legitimate.
