Population Census Scam Email
We
have been told that an email entitled 'Population Census: a message to everyone
- act now' is being circulated, allegedly in the name of National Statistician,
Jil Matheson. This email demands individuals provide
further personal information, supposedly for the Census and threatens fines for
non-compliance. This email is a scam and a hoax. It has no connection
whatsoever with the National Statistician, the 2011 Census or the Office for
National Statistics. We are asked that anyone receiving this, or similar
emails, should delete them, not open any links and certainly not provide any
information.
