Please review the following important information from the City of  
Evanston's Police Department regardng the 2010 Census.

Don Wilson,  Alderman, 4th Ward

DATE: 11-4-09

REFERENCE: Evanston Police  Suggest 2010 Census Cautions 

WARNING: 2010 Census Cautions from the  Better Business Bureau 

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. 
REMEMBER, NO MATTER WHAT THEY ASK,  YOU REALLY ONLY NEED TO TELL THEM HOW 
MANY PEOPLE LIVE AT YOUR ADDRESS.  

While the Census Bureau might ask for basic financial information,  such as 
a salary range, 
YOU DON'T HAVE TO ANSWER ANYTHING AT ALL ABOUT  YOUR FINANCIAL SITUATION. ; 
The Census Bureau will not ask for Social  Security, bank account, or 
credit card numbers, nor will employees solicit  donations. 
Any one asking for that information is NOT with the Census  Bureau. 

Eventually, Census workers may contact you by telephone, mail,  or in 
person at home. However, the Census Bureau 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.

PLEASE SHARE  THIS INFO WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS.
