If you are getting your Census notice, type the URL directly into the browser window

[question everything]

Do not try to search for it on Google, or other search engines. According to a local letter today, there are many wannabe sites.

1. Thanks.

Not everyone wants a hearty (full and correct) response.

2. I'm waiting for the census in the mail

Because I don't have internet. Got a slow smartphone.

5. You mail it in

On the Internet your birthdate brings up all your info.

3. You need to enter a unique user code into the online form.

Once done, your street address will appear. That is your confirmation that you are at the legit site.

7. That's right. But until you do it, you don't know that this will be the next step

Perhaps the notice should have included this alert.

4. I just typed in Census

The form came right up, but that was last week.

6. Yep, my mom was directed to one of those sites

Fortunately, her iPad gave her a security warning, and she did not proceed.

I ended up helping her out by typing in the URL directly.
