01612745200 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01612745200 👆 is reported as a generic Manchester City Council outbound number used by multiple departments for official calls, including housing, social services, and welfare. Callers often cannot leave voicemail or receive call backs on this line, causing confusion. Some report genuine council contacts like surveys or follow-ups, while others suspect scams or incorrect targeting, especially due to calls at odd hours or threatening tones. Recipients sometimes get repeated calls without explanation, and occasionally odd or unrelated messages are left. Experiences vary widely; some calls are legitimate council business, others appear suspicious or harassing. The number is commonly associated with automated calls or callbacks, and council staff working remotely may use it. Users express frustration over unclear identification and unanswered queries about who exactly is calling.

I find it pretty strange that someone said they were from Manchester Council called me, especially since I’m about 400 miles from there. They said it was about paying rent for 21 Rowan Court, which I’ve never even heard of. I just blocked the number and reported it as a scam.

This number is the main contact used by pretty much every department at Manchester City Council. Whether someone from there is ringing you personally or it’s an automated call you asked for, it’s genuine. The problem is, if they don't leave a voicemail, you’ve got no idea which branch of the council was actually on the line. Good luck figuring it out!

This evening around 6 pm, I got a call from 0161 274 5200. The person claimed to be from the council and asked for my current and former addresses, even knowing my full name, which was quite unsettling. I grew suspicious and told him that I’d already sent the details about my sold property to the council via recorded delivery earlier today. Then he said he’d ring me back on Wednesday. When I questioned why he was calling so late, he said they work until 7 pm, which only made me more wary.

Got a call from a young lady claiming she was ringing on behalf of a charity called "Care and Repair." She said my name and number were given to them by the NHS because I’d just left hospital and might need some assistance. Thing is, I haven’t been discharged recently at all - just had a couple of outpatient appointments, which don’t mean I need charity help. Not sure if this was a scam or just a really poorly run organisation. There’s a few groups called Care & Repair, but none match this number, and it’s not listed on Manchester Council’s site either.

Hey, I’m with MCC. No need to worry, it’s just an automatic callback number. If you try calling MCC but the call doesn’t go through, you’ll hear an automated ring when it calls you back. Sometimes different departments like housing or council tax might call you, and if all their lines are busy, the call could come from 0161 274 5200. So it’s nothing suspicious!

This number has called me twice within just a few minutes this morning, which feels like straight up harassment. When I looked it up, it showed up as Manchester City Council. I live in London and have never been to Manchester, so it makes no sense why they'd be ringing me. Seems like a dodgy scam to me. I found out the number is with EE and is linked to some “Dorothy Kibirig,” whoever that might be. Plus, there’s a mention of an “Azra Furheen” in a Salford City Council document tied to this number. Looking around online, it appears this has been going on for years now. Honestly, my best tip is just to block the number or at least ignore it if blocking isn’t an option.

Today I saw I had a missed call from this number, so I decided to call back. When I did, it was just a recorded message claiming to be from Manchester city council, and it said you couldn't get through to anyone or leave a voicemail. I then rang the council’s main line at 0161 234 5000 to check, and they confirmed the number belonged to them. However, they couldn’t say who exactly had called since it’s used by the entire building. Pretty baffling!

Just like a few others mentioned, I noticed this number popped up as calling me. They’re supposed to say who they are and then the phone rings me so I can pick up, reject or get a voicemail if I’m out. But this time the caller did nothing except hang up right after the initial bit. When I tried calling the number back, it says it’s from Manchester council, but you can’t leave a message as it’s only for outgoing calls. Bit odd really.
