Have you received a text from a strange number regarding a census survey? This time, it's not a scam. 

The Census Bureau is conducting a Household Pulse Survey regarding the COVID-19 crisis. 

Those who have been selected to participate in the Household Pulse Survey will receive an email from COVID.survey@census.gov or a text message from 39242 with a link to complete the survey. 

Officials say all communication from the Census Bureau regarding the survey will originate from a census.gov domain or be sent via text from 39242. 

Respondents can reply "stop" to opt out of receiving the text messages.Â
