Did not leave a voicemail but after reading the reports down below, definitely a spam phone call to prey on people.
Answered the call and a man stated I had reported housing issues. I told them they had called a restricted line and would have to report them to the national crime agency and he hung up immediately

"Housing repairs", definitely a scam due to being Indian and having not contacted any housing repairs
Didn’t answer so unknown who was calling. No voicemail left
Scam number, be careful.
Asking about housing repairs I’ve not contacted housing and don’t live in Manchester definitely a scam
Manchester based number. Said they were from the housing affairs team and were calling regarding housing problems. I have not contacted anyone about housing problems and I live nowhere near Manchester
They said they were calling from housing repairs about the issues I have with my property. I have not contacted anyone about any issues with my property. Definitely a scam.
