Have you also got an invitation to respond to the 2020 Census? Well, if you have got a letter from U. S. Census Bureau, in which they have mentioned website my2020census.gov, then you should know that is not a scam since ".gov" sites are under U.S. government organizations or programs. However, it is still better you check other details on that letter before you completely fall for it and you should not send the reply to that letter to any other place than the 2020 Census and should not visit any other website than the official website of 2020 Census. If you have got a 2020 Census letter with links to other websites than the ".gov" ones, then you should not visit such websites.
We suggest you double-check the details provided in your letter. For example, instead of directly following the letter, check either the provided details are real or not by browsing the information on the related official website, which means on the official website of the 2020 Census.
We don't think it is a scam because such letters are sent by the government every 10 years.
So, the letter you received may not be a scam if that has provided .gov link of 2020 Census such as 2020census.gov or 2020census.gov because ".gov" links belong to U.S. government websites since only U.S. government organizations and programs are authorized to register ".gov" domain.
However, if your letter contains other domains than ".gov" such as ".com", ".info" and so on, then you should not visit those websites without confirming that by contacting the officials of the 2020 Census since they may be from scammers.
Scammers always tried to trick people by sending such letters in the name of different companies. Scammers send such letters to get your personal information so that they can scam you. So, you should not follow any instructions provided on those letters without confirming their legitimacy. If you visit any link provided on those letters other than the ".gov" or follow any instructions, then you may end up losing your personal information. Scammers can provide you the link to such websites that may contain some viruses or malware or spyware that can hack your device to get your personal information.
Once these cybercriminals get your personal information, they make money by selling those details. If they get your credit card information, even they can steal money from your credit card. So, you should not follow any instructions provided on these kinds of letters.
