| | We have been informed of a scam email being circulated,
supposedly regarding the 2011 Census. If you receive such an email,
please delete and do not respond. Please see details below.
Statement from Director of the 2011 Census, Glen Watson, Friday 27 January 2012.
Email Scam
We
are aware 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
believe the links in the email could download malware to any computer
where the user clicks on the links. This could put your personal data,
including financial information, at risk.
Anyone receiving this, or similar emails, should delete them, not open any links and certainly not provide any information.
For more information on how to protect yourself from this type of threat, please see www.getsafeonline.org
If you wish to, please report receipt of any such suspicious emails to www.actionfraud.org.uk
ONS
takes the protection of personal census information extremely
seriously. Collection of census data was completed last year and no
further requests will be forthcoming from the Office for National
Statistics relating to the 2011 Census.
