Under the guise of volunteers conducting the all-Russian population census, fraudsters may try to get into the apartments of Russians, the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs warned. The corresponding message is posted on the website of the department.

The all-Russian population census will take place in the country from October 15 to November 14 this year. “People who will offer residents of the regions to take the census earlier than this deadline may be swindlers,” the ministry said.

If a person is offered to take part in the census using an SMS message or through a phone call, then he should not provide any information about himself – scribes do not use this method of obtaining information, they also noted in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, specifying that the survey is carried out only in apartments, and not in yards or streets.

The message also says that the scribe receives information only from the participant himself and is not interested in his passport or other personal data. Volunteers do not agitate citizens, do not charge them money and do not offer to purchase certain goods or services.
