Why contact Wirral residents who have never step foot in Oldham? Is this the organised crime outfit that masquerades as an outsourcing company that is universally hated? Capita, me thinks.

Haven't used this number in ages, like 2 years or so, but yesterday (20th Feb 2026) I got a voicemail from it. It was just breathing noises - normal heavy breathing at first, then it changed into this weird tune made with breaths, sort of like whistling but with breathing? It's tricky to describe and honestly gave me the creeps. Wondering if anyone else has had a message like this from the same number. I know it’s linked to Oldham council since I phoned it before from another phone, but still, it’s pretty unsettling.

I received a missed call from 01617707000, which I believe is most likely related to Oldham Council. I decided to give their switchboard a ring, and they confirmed that it was indeed one of their numbers. However, they weren't able to pinpoint which department was trying to get in touch. It’s a bit irritating when they don’t leave a message, leaving you to ponder over what they might want...

Indeed, Internal Audit seems to be inundated with calls ever since folk started responding to Andy's recommendation regarding the number 0161 770 4084. Unfortunately, if you're not familiar with the caller from the council, it might be best to hold off until they attempt to return your call. On the other hand, if you do recall who it was that got in touch, but don’t have their direct line, you should call the switchboard at 0161 770 3000. Hope this information proves useful!

Recollect back to when you received that call-did a text arrive perhaps an hour later? It seems this particular number might be sending out messages to all parents to inform them about any cancellations regarding school activities for their kids. That could explain the silence you’re experiencing; a landline won’t let you hear the texts coming through. I hope this sheds some light on the matter. Best wishes! 😊
