AI Summary
Based on 7 community reports
This Manchester number has been reported multiple times as Greater Manchester Police (GMP), with most callers describing it as a legitimate and professional contact. However, there are a couple of suspicious reports worth noting — one person was unable to get through when calling back as the line was always engaged, and another flagged a call made to an elderly relative claiming to be the police.
While the majority of reports suggest this is a genuine GMP number, scammers do sometimes impersonate the police, particularly when targeting vulnerable or elderly people. If you receive a call from this number and have any doubts, hang up and call Greater Manchester Police directly using the official number found on their website to verify the call was genuine.
