Authorities - State Statistical Office: False census letters in circulation

The Saxony-Anhalt State Statistical Office warns of false letters with the "Census 2023" logo.

Contact details are always given in letters from the State Statistical Office and the email addresses end in @stala.mi.sachsen-anhalt.de, not @outlook.com or others.
