Monroe Police recently received several complaints of a Social Security scam.  The scammer tries to convince you that there is an issue with your Social Security Number that requires some form of payment to resolve.  The Social Security Administration will not call to solicit payment and they won't demand payment by gift cards. Monroe Police say the easy remedy to this type of scam call is to hang up the phone, or at the least not talk to them longer than you have to and don't give out any personal information.
