Beware of Census postcards with QR codes

BY JENNIFER CABRERA

The Census Bureau has advised its partners that a postcard has been circulating with a QR code. The postcard appears to be a 2020 Census mailer, but it is fraudulent. The QR code links to a Chinese website.

The Census Bureau wants citizens to know that they do not use QR codes.

If any citizens in Alachua County get messages with information like this, they can contact Armon Lowery, armon.e.lowery@2020census.gov.
