need to block callers from this number-- bad news!

Report nuisance calls to the Federal Trade Commission and your state attorney general's office.

I concur with you American Dad. These people are as useless as they can get.

I have been receiving calls from this number over and over. I answered all the questions the last 3 times they called and I told them already I didn't want them to call me again but she insisted.

this number calls me all the time, leaving messages. i answered finally and told him to stop calling me and he got so obnoxious. totaly unprofessional which is a HUGE red flag to me. i don't know how to get them to stop calling! it's definitely a scam!

I got calls from this number and others everyday for weeks saying it was the Census Bureau. I called the Census Bureau at the number listed on their website to confirm that the case number given to me was actually legit. Turns out it is. All they needed was my address because the one they had on file was not even close to being correct. I can only assume that my cell number belonged to someone at that address in the 2000 census. My advice is call the National Processing Center number on the census website to get it straightened out.

It is a questionnaire about small business health insurance crap..give them HELL!!!..I did ..I refused to answer on the grounds they have NO RIGHT according to our constitution to answer SOCIALIST questions about health care..what they are doing is finding out if small business is giving healthcare to employees i mean really small 1 employee small..here it comes..FULL BLOWN SOCIALISM. and .to the consumer., Your patio will increase about 30% if this happens..ALL construction will slow EXCEPT for unions..they also asked me about that to..so they wlll be going after the small guy to force them to join...progressive IS communism..Dems you had better wake up ..your freedom is about to be taken for good.and liberty will be no such thing..

A guy called my home at 10:30 PM claiming to be from the Census Bureau (my caller ID showed the same) asking for a relative's address. I gave him nothing. He stuttered a little when I quizzed him where he was calling from, why he was calling so late, and who he really represents, etc. I then hung up.

Yes it is the census. In our case, we were one of the "lucky" 250,000 houses randomly selected to receive the America Community Survey (the old "long form" census) in May - first step in attempting to get us to answer this intrusive questionnaire - and have been inundated with 25 calls so far this month (June) with a week to go - this is the second step since we refuse to answer the intrusive questions. I expect the third step of harassment, census workers discharging their "federal duties" by trespassing on our clearly marked private property, will begin in a few days and last throughout July. Everyone should do some research on this "survey." The government has proven time and again they can not be trusted with the information they have (look up stories related to the census providing the military with locations of Japanese Americans/immigrants during WWII that allowed the military to round up law abiding citizens and dump them in internment camps - census claims no wrongdoing since they didn't provide specific names and addresses but just a general population count of each neighborhood, more recently the census bureau was providing information on Muslims, they also "accidentally" posted the private information of 300 households on their website multiple times without any penalties to the persons involved in the debacle, as well as loosing hundreds, if not thousands, of laptops with all kinds of private information on hard drives - who knows if the laptops are encrypted or even if the users are keeping anti-virus definitions updated). I've heard the argument that the information is available in public databases so I should just give them the info they are asking for - if it's all public anyway, they can "create" jobs by employing people to comb through the databases and compile it. Furthermore, the title they cite relates to the census as it pertains to the decennial enumeration of the country to apportion Representatives to Congress. We did our civic duty last year when we answered the decennial census. However, the census bureau has interpreted this to mean they can deem mandatory any questions they want answers to (they do also perform other surveys that aren't mandatory), as in the case of the ACS. The bureau gives all kinds of convincing reasons why I should tell them how many bathrooms my house has, when I leave for work, the full address of my employer, how many hours a day I work, if I own the property I live on, how much my mortgage/rent is, how much the property is worth if I want to sell it, if I have any mental or physical disabilities, how much money I earned last year, how much money from agricultural crops I received, how much my power bill is, what kind of power does my house use, does my house have a fully furnished kitchen including stove, refrigerator, and indoor plumbing, how many cars are in the driveway when we are home; all the questions are required for all persons living in the home. All this information could be used to target the house or could also be used by identity thieves (or by clever scammers pretending to be the census bureau). They state the information is kept confidential and there are stiff penalties for unauthorized disclosure. However, the census website states the information is going to be shared with the agencies that submitted questions for the census to ask (IRS for wages, USDA for agricultural, etc) but when you ask the census worker, they simply state the information will not be shared, which is a false statement since it is plainly stated that the information will be shared with other government agencies. They also state that any identifying data is removed from the data before it is shared, but there have been plenty of studies over the last 8 years or so the ACS has been conducted that shows programs can be written to re-identify the data (meaning the researcher was able to add back in the identifying data with 90%+ accuracy). From all the research I have done, I have not found anyone that has been fined for refusing to answer these intrusive (and IMO unconstitutional) questions - theory is that the bureau is afraid to take an action against anyone for fear that person will fight back and get this into the court system to have a judge rule on the constitutionality of telling private citizens they have to answer any questions about their private lives simply because the government wants to know the answer. Last time I checked, this is the United States of America, not 1930's Nazi Germany.

Got a call today earlier and this very very foreign lady, left a message, but you could barely understand her. She says she's from the census bureau, I got that much. They just called this evening and turned around less than a minute later and called again. We've already had a census bureau member visit us about 5x so far this year
