The Southbury Police Department is alerting residents to a phone scam that's been reported recently.  It's a recurring scam where someone purportedly is calling from the Department of Social Security Administration about a suspended Social Security number because of suspicious activity.  The automated message asks the caller to press one to learn more about the case.  Southbury Police are reminding people to never give out personal information over the phone and noting that no legitimate government agency will ask for a Western Union money transfer to avoid some penalty.
