Census Text Scam
Posted: Thu, 08 Apr 2021 09:37 by Cheryl Small
Text below received yesterday. It is a scam.
Text message below states that the recipient made a mistake on their form and liable for a fine and invited to review their information. They are then directed to a bogus Census website. A couple of pages in, the recipient is asked for bank account details to pay a fee. Fortunately, the recipient became suspicious and contacted me.
We advise you do NOT respond to these text messages, and be mindful these may also appear as emails. More »

You will not be called for information about the census, unless you've made an appointment with the Census Contact Centre or made a query or complaint.
