Expertenmeinung
The 0161 856 6300 line is widely recognised as the outbound number used by Greater Manchester Police. Most callers report a short, one‑off ring and no voicemail, which is typical for police follow‑ups on incidents or complaints. However, scammers do spoof police IDs, so always verify the purpose before handing over any personal details. If you weren’t expecting a call, let it go to voicemail and then call the official non‑emergency line (101) yourself. Never call back the number that rang you, as it usually won’t accept inbound calls. Keep a record of the call time and any reference numbers you’re given.

It appeared to be a call from Greater Manchester Police.
In my view the number is genuine; those claiming it’s a scam appear to be the criminals.
A pocket‑held phone accidentally dialled 112; they called back to check if I was alright.
Since I never picked up, I can’t be sure, but the number has rung a few times and GMP have no reason to contact me. The mixed reports suggest scammers might be hijacking this legitimate number, which feels odd and untrustworthy.
According to my son, he got a call from this number at 2:03 pm during school. When I tried returning the call, I received a message directing me to 101, but the call was rejected. The message mentioned a 999 call, yet my logs show no emergency call, so it was likely a misdial.
This appears to be a genuine Greater Manchester Police number.
I missed a call while asleep, looked up the number and it claimed to be the police, so I dialled 101 to verify. They said there was no record of police trying to reach me. The caller hasn’t called back and I have no police business, so I suspect it was a spoof.
I had a prior automated message about an incident, didnt answer this call as I was unsure what it was about

Initially, I was suspicious after the call, but during the conversation the language was proper and the questions matched a crime report I made earlier, so I rate it neutral – likely genuine, though the person admitted they weren’t a police officer.
