The caller already knew my name but when I asked who was on the line, they just cut off the call straight away.

Had my phone on silent all day, so I didn't pick up - trying to enjoy the summer and not get disturbed by random calls. I never bother answering numbers I don’t know anyway, these calls are just a pain.

Just got a call from 0161 676 2491, and they actually knew my name. They wanted to ask me some questions about my experience with the Greater Manchester Police. Bit surprising, not sure if it's legit.

I got called by a bloke from DJS Research and ended up doing a quick survey about things in my local area for GMCA. It was just for some market research.

I didn’t pick up but tried ringing them back and their number just wouldn’t come up anywhere. Feels a bit dodgy if you ask me!

Been rung twice by a lady saying she's doing a waterways survey for the Environment Agency. I've told her I'm on the TPS and don’t entertain random calls. She did sound quite convincing, but after seeing what others have said here, I'm really relieved I didn't share anything. If they ring back, I’m definitely ignoring it since it feels like it’s probably a scam.

Twice now I’ve been called by someone saying they’re doing a survey for the Mayor of Manchester about a criminal case. What’s weird is they even mentioned the crime number and date. They cut off halfway through the chat though. I looked it up and found a research centre in Manchester with that name, but when I rang them, they had no idea what I was talking about. Watch out, folks!

I just got a call from a woman who asked for my name, and her voice sounded all robotic. It creeped me out so I ended up hanging up. No idea how they even got hold of my name, it's pretty frightening.

Last night, about 7:30pm on 10/10/24, I got a call from this number. The caller said they were conducting a survey for the Mayor of Manchester, asking about Greater Manchester Police, and mentioned I had filed a report with them on June 19th - which is not true at all. It made me feel quite uneasy, especially since I’m currently dealing with a domestic abuse situation involving someone I used to know well.

I got a call from someone claiming they were doing a survey for the Greater Manchester authority about the local police. I ended up answering quite a few questions, but looking back, I really shouldn’t have. Be careful with these calls and don’t share any personal details with them!

I had a similar experience recently-this time it was a lady on the other end. Strangely enough, she addressed me by my first name, which caught me off guard. Thankfully, I managed to hang up before things escalated!

I had a call from a woman with an English accent claiming she was from Greater Manchester Police, talking about some crime I was supposedly involved in. When I ran the number through a search, loads of info popped up suggesting it might not be genuine.

Got a voicemail from these guys supposedly doing a survey, but honestly it was pretty strange. The voice was super faint and hard to make out, then suddenly I heard them chatting amongst themselves before the call just dropped. Honestly, it felt quite off. I’d say best not to pick up if this number calls you.

I received a phone call from the same number, and the chap on the line was inquiring about some research topics. It's rather puzzling how they even know my first name, isn’t it?

Claimed to represent a market research firm, reaching out for feedback on a survey. It felt rather dubious, as if they were fishing for sensitive details.
