520-798-4152 / 5207984152

Keep getting calls from that number and two other numbers claiming to be from the US Census Bureau. The CallerID shows up as Unknown, which is suspicious in itself. It is to a cell phone at all times of the day and even on Saturday and Sunday. Checked the US Census Bureau website, including the American Community Survey site and none of those telephone numbers are associated with the US Census Bureau or any of the US Census Bureau Call Centers.

census scam

I have been involved with the Census Bureau for almost 8 month now and have alway gotten a call from the same lady who came to my house twice. This is the first day anyone has called me from this number. I have not answered them or called them back. This number is not even from my state. Will call my census taker on Monday to find out if this number is a a scam. Will let you know what I find out

This is a scam call

I just called the Census Bureau call center in Hagerstown, Maryland 1-800-392-6975 to find out if these are legitimate calls. The supervisor explained that they are legitimate and even repeated one of the phone numbers left on the voicemail, 1-888-817-2153. She was very helpful and transferred me to a case worker who verified that the address they are trying to reach with the phone number was in fact not my address and has removed my phone number that they are calling from the call list. The census bureau even had a complete list of the number of times they have called my cell phone.The Census Bureau call center phone numbers are:Hagerstown, MD: 1-800-392-6975 Jeffersonville, IN: 1-800-523-3205 Tucson, AZ: 1-800-642-0469 The American Community Survey is a lawful survey but they go by addresses, not phone numbers, so they can get an idea of the demographics in certain areas. I suggest anyone with concerns call one of those call center numbers to get things straightened out. I too was concerned about getting unsolicited calls on my cell phone and finding out that someone wanted to conduct a "survey" on a cell phone which would eat up the minutes.

called several times

get this call every day and now not answering the phone

leave me alone...

they could have gotten your number because they are the federal gov't. it wouldn't be that hard. and any joe schmoe could do the same thing, all they would have to know is your name. and pay the $20 or whatever it is to get that information.I'm not saying its right by any means. I'm saying its alot easier than most people think that it is.

I got a call as well. I had to listen to the message 4 times and STILL couldn't understand through the heavy accent who was calling. I figured that if it was the real "United States....anything" I should be able to understand their English. I will not return the call. My gut is telling me to stay away.
