812-218-XXXX

Got a call on my work extension. Saying she was from the US Census bureau. Gave me an 888 number to call back but she called from this number. I did not return the call and it looks very suspicious since the 888 number is also not the US Census bureau.

Call from New Albany, IN: Please return our call at 1-866-208-6591 today through Tuesday, June 20. Refer to case #60183.

This caller has called several times. I am not willing to give information on the phone. I have already filled out a census form which should be sufficient.

Represented herself as: US census bureau - "It is a***nst the law not to respond to our mailing request that we sent to you."

Wants "census information."

Same voice message as reported by others; calls received at various times throughout the day and week.

I received multiple calls from 'Census Bureau' different numbers, even on Sundays. Never left a message. I was very surprised to have a representative of the REAL Census Bureau knock on my door. He had all the correct identification and documents. He conducted a survey (about 20 minutes) and left me info on how to contact him & the name & ph # of his supervisor. He told me they have a phone bank that keeps calling all days trying to reach people. Eventually they send out a real person. He said the calls should stop now. I was floored!!

Actually people they are the Census Bureau (Dept of Commerce) calling about an annual business survey. I have the survey on my desk. I hate filing them out but it's the law.

Got 2 calls today from 812-218-3144, 3 calls today and yesterday from 520-798-4152, 2 calls yesterday from 240-420-6029, all claiming to be US Census Bureau. I checked this out on Snopes.com, a website that investigates possible scams, urban legends, etc. According to Snopes, the "Census Bureau Survey by Phone" is a scam that has been around awhile, but is very active lately. They even included some quotes from the real Census Bureau. Like others, I was told to call a 866 number and refer to file or project or something 44177, I think. I have been participating in a Census Bureau survey IN MY HOME for over a year, and still have 5 months to go. I will definitely ask the lady about this next time she comes over, which should be in a week or two. I have entered each of these numbers into my phone's contact list, under the heading SCAM, and gave it a custom ringtone that says Do Not Answer This Call, so I don't even have to look at my phone, I just reject the call.

520-218-3144, 812-218-3144 or any other number from someone claiming to be from the US census bureau. The cenuss is usually on your door step and they have credentials to prove who they are. DO NOT answer any questions. At most tell them to send the census taker to your door step if they want information.

Clearly a scam! Bogus Census Bureau. The REAL CB does NOT conduct interviews or ask for such personal and sensitive information as those from this number do ... over the phone! Like someone else here said...do NOT give it to them! Scam artists seeking to possibly steal your identity!!!

I am on the do not call list reg.I think these people need fines to stop this scam!!!

said they are census bureau and will not stop calling at 8pm or later in the evening. Threat if I don't fill out the questionaire they sent me in the mail. I received two of these. I have unplugged my answering machine. I called BBB and they said they called the real Census Bureau. No 25 booklets were mailed out. This is a scam.

I'm getting tired of these calls from the so called census. They've done this for the past week!And each time its a different # not just this 812 218 3144 # and they leave a voice mail saying its the census and to call back. Which I haven't done. And don't plan to do. Plus they sent me 2 fourms in the mail. The short version and then about a month later I got this package in the mail that was some sort of survey. I filled that out and sent it back. Oh and some of the questions on there were really stupid. Like what time do I go to work and stuff about the mortage on my home. Those I left blank. If thats what they're calling about. I really don't see where thats any of their business. I just wish they'd quit calling. I've actually been tempted to have my phone number changed to put a stop to it. : )

Person didn't leave his name...just an account # to reference when calling back. Stated this was a time sensitive matter that by Law I must respond to immeadiately. I am also getting calls from (520)798-4152 with the same name "Censls Bureau" on my caller ID as the (812)218-3144 only difference is that they don't leave messages.
