Gail 10-16-2009 10:14:26 AM EST 2010 Census to Begin
Cautions from the Better Business Bureau :
With the U.S. Census process beginning, the Better Business Bureau (BBB)
advises people to be Cooperative, but cautious, so as not to become a victim
of fraud or identity theft. The first phase of the 2010 U.S. Census is under
way as workers have begun verifying the addresses of households across the
country. Eventually, more than 140,000 U.S. Census workers will count every
person in the United States and will gather information about every person
living at each address including name, age, gender, race, and other relevant
data.
The big question is - how do you tell the difference between a U.S. Census
worker and a con artist? BBB offers the following advice:
** If a U.S. Census worker knocks on your door, they will have a badge, a
handheld device, a Census Bureau canvas bag, and a confidentiality notice.
Ask to see their identification and their badge before answering their
questions. However, you should never invite anyone you don't know into your
home.
** Census workers are currently only knocking on doors to verify address
information. BDo not give your Social Security number, credit card or
banking information to anyone, even if they claim they need it for the U.S.
Census.
REMEMBER, NO MATTER WHAT THEY ASK, YOU REALLY ONLY NEED TO TELL THEM HOW
MANY PEOPLE LIVE AT YOUR ADDRESS.
While the Census Bureau might ask for basic financial information, such as a
salary range, YOU DON'T HAVE TO ANSWER ANYTHING AT ALL ABOUT YOUR FINANCIAL
SITUATION. The Census Bureau will not ask for Social Security, bank account,
or credit card numbers, nor will employees solicit donations. Any one asking
for that information is NOT with the Census Bureau.
AND REMEMBER, THE CENSUS BUREAU HAS DECIDED NOT TO WORK WITH ACORN ON
GATHERING THIS INFORMATION.. No Acorn worker should approach you saying
he/she is with the Census Bureau.
Eventually, Census workers may contact you by telephone, mail, or in person
at home. However, the Census Bureau will not contact you by Email, so be on
the lookout for Email scams impersonating the Census.
Never click on a link or open any attachments in an Email that are
supposedly from the U.S. Census Bureau

Jan Janet.sherburne@yahoo.com 10-07-2009 6:19:27 PM EST Hi all, I have been trying to get a good deal for the Wii. I purchased ours last Sun. at Best Buy for 199. it came with a extra Game CD and I bought Ins. for two years. We thought that was great so I have been pricing them for the Park. I went back to Best Buy to see if could get the same deal and they said no. OK I went to Walmart in Gibsonton to see if they had the Wii for the same price they said yes and we will give you one year Malmart warranty and a two year Wii warranty. (Great) That was tues. went home .Went to work at the attic fineshed there went to Walmart in Sun City to see if they had the same deal. They said no, it is only a 30 Day's for Walmart and a one year for the Wii, it would cost 39.99 for the year. I said I went to Walmart in Gibsonton and was what I told you. He said oh no there is no such thing you must be mistaken. So I told him OK than I am going to go back to Best Buy there's was cheapter. Well was going all the back to Best Buy. I took 301 down,I started to think I know what they told me at the Walmart in Gibsonton so I went back there first. It is a good thing I did because I wasn't dreaming he did tell they had a three year Ins. Not only did get it there it only cost us 234.21 the Wii and the extended warranty. Whew I stayed under 250. after all. Ha Ray
Boo Hoo it cost me ten dollors more. BUT I GOT A FREE CD
I did it Sue
Catch ya all lateer. Jan

Washing or cleaning streets in preparation for a parade or other public event is allowed.
Other than these instances, washing or other water-based cleaning of streets and other impervious surfaces is allowed only to meet federal, state or local health and safety standards, such as required dust control.
