A questionnaire from the U.S. Census has some people wondering if it's a scam. The Division of Consumer Protection has received several calls asking if the survey is legit.
The survey asks for your personal information and nothing in return, not even an offer for a loan.
Utah Commerce Department Executive Director Francine Giani says you never know. She says, "I don't think that you can ever be cautious about, you know, extra cautious or overly cautious. In my opinion, it is better to be safe than sorry."
However, she says this one is legit. She says the mailing is from the Denver office of the Census. The Census Bureau is telling anyone who questions whether a census mailing is legitimate to call the Denver regional office at 1-800-852-6159.
