Census Worker (from comments)

From a concerned resident in the comments section, MTGP has learned that there are potential offenders making their way into residences by pretending to be Census workers. If this is the case, MTGP has a few suggestions for you.

It may be difficult to determine who is or isn't a Census worker. This is not something that we as a society are used to seeing. That being said, do not let anyone into your house that you do not know, whether it is a real Census worker or not. Census workers can take your information from the front porch, through a screen door if they have to. MTGP's other piece of advice, the Constitution only requires that you provide a numerical number of people that live in your residence. So, provide only the numerical number and nothing more. Do not give away personal information if you do not have to. You will not be penalized from not providing your name or race or income or the other questions that are asked.

Watch out for your elderly neighbors and call anytime you see someone you don't recognize going to people's homes.
