Gmp responding to a complaint
Today I noticed that it's not always the Greater Manchester Police calling the number 01618566300! Although the call appears to come from the police, it's just because the scammers managed to trick the system and make the call to appear to come from that number. But are in fact dialling from 02037693336. This number, as you can see by a quick search online, is from proper scammers trying to get your money. I noticed it by checking the message left on the answer machine, and that system is not tricked by the scammers and is able to display the real number. So don't trust this caller if you're not expecting a call from the police!
I keep having these ignorant criminal bigots calling me on false claims of "welfare" despite pointing out that facts (such as the high unemployment rate of autistic people) are not evidence of being suicidal. Even when I spell this out for them, they still keep calling, wasting time they should spend on other people. Given how GM Police help DWP torture disabled people for daring to speak out about politics, I shouldn't be surprised. But if you see this number calling, and have a disability, run.

Rang once before I could pick it up. GMP = useless
This is definitely the piglets from GMP when they rung me I said oh this is Greater Manchester pigs ?
has to be said letting the phone ring around three times then hanging up is more like a prank call. I rarely answer a phone call within 3 rings. no message left, I only confirmed as a police number when I couldn't call them back and found this online. 101 dialled as its about an incident I reportedyesterday. the operator asked what it was about, then after I explained said I interrupted them, I then was asked another question and I answered being accused of interrupting again. I was always taught if an police officer asks you a direct question you answer it. cant work it, I know they are stretched, but really!
Was my local police station. Voice mail left with contactable number
The comments on here suggest any calls to 101 are tapped. I phoned 101 to report something and I wasn't asked for my phone number (it probably shows on their system at the time). 20 minutes later I had a call from this number which rang out twice then stopped.
This is the general number for GMP. The number will show up regardless of which police department is ringing. To return the call you need the direct number for the officer as the number that shows does not receive incoming calls.
Police called me regarding an incident
Have had two phone calls today(05/01/17),each time i answered there was no reply!!!,tried ringing back,but it comes up "this number doe not accept incoming calls!!!"
I had a missed call today from 01618566300? I tried returning the call. But it doesn't let you? So I Googled it and found that quite a few people have had the same number and didn't know who it was calling? Looking at the comments on here it appears that it is the POLICE? What should I do? Call 101 and ask? Or just wait and see if it calls me back??
It's Manchester traffic police. They called me regarding a traffic accident I was involved in. The number doesn't accept incoming calls.
This is NOT Altincham Police Station.
Received 2 missed calls from this number one left voicemail saying they had received a 999 call from my number and if it was an emergency to call back on 999 or 101 non ermegency. Well I'm in Liverpool not Manchester and I hadn't dialled 999 not even by accident and my phone records can prove that!! Very odd
I had a call from this number. Going to the gm police website i found that this number is no longer used by gmp. link - http://www.gmp.police.uk/content/section.html?readform&s=62B7317B7330FA84802579FB0036E4F8
