Beware Census Scammers: Official Field Officers Explained
Field officers are out and about to help folks who haven’t filled in their census forms yet. Whether online or on paper, these officers offer encouragement and guide you to support services if you need help completing your questionnaire.
What Field Officers Will – and Won’t – Do
- They won’t enter your home – no exceptions.
- They carry official ID to prove they’re legit.
- They will never ask for money or your bank details.
Spot The Fakes: No Fines Over Phone or Text
Don’t fall for scams demanding fines by phone, text, or email. Any real fine for refusing to complete the census must go through the courts—not a quick message or call.
Stay safe and know your rights!
