Just left me a message. Claimed to be the U.S. Census Bureau, and requested a return call to 1-866-208-6591. Today is Veteran's Day, a federal holiday. I highly doubt any government employee came in on their day off to call me.
Been getting these calls for a couple of weeks now. Never had
A gov. Agency tell me to call back before. Woman was
Very insistent and told my husband we had to fill out the
Forms and take the survey. Feels more like a hard con then
A gov. Project.
I received this call on a business line. That in and of itself makes me very suspicious. The lady left a message asking for us to call back a toll-free line with a case number.
Doesn't seem legit to me. I've never received any form from the census bureau. They did come to my house a few years ago.
got a call from US Census Bureau, after another call got from a different number (812-218-3144) today. It sounded real. I told her about this site and she knew there were people complaining about these calls. Anyway, I had time to talk to her.
She asked me if I am an adult in a household.
Yes.
She said they sent out a survey last month and asked if I got it.
No.
She provided an address associated with my number and the address was not current. She asked if I knew the address.
No.
She asked my current address.
I refused to answer.
She understood and said good-bye.
In this day and age of huge idenity theft, the person who thought that they could bully Americans to giving up that much personal information needs to be put in an orange vest and made to clean up trash along the Freeway. These people claim to be the census bureau, but their questions are none of anyones business. I have relegated them to the auto refuse pile. I am also planning a little talk with my congressman about gov't waste. These harassing phone calls are a prime example.
