01563556530 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01563556530 👆 is reported as a suspicious and potentially fraudulent contact, often via text message to landlines, claiming to be from a debt collection firm urging recipients to call back urgently. Users note unclear information about the supposed debt, aggressive or rude behaviour when called, and unverified references.

Did you receive all your rings from mckenzielaw.co.uk? We’ve just shot them an email to find out when exactly that was because if not, it seems a bit dodgy, doesn’t it? We need some clarity on this matter!

We also received a rather puzzling text message on our landline. After reaching out to the company McKenzie Hall, it became clear that they were pursuing a debt that doesn't belong to us. We've had our phone number for a decade and are listed as ex-directory, so it's quite baffling. I specifically asked them to remove our number from their database, but the representative insisted on trying to obtain our address instead. I declined to provide that information and ended the call. Subsequently, I visited moneysavingexpert.com, where I unearthed a wealth of details about this questionable company.

We called this number shortly after being advised to get in touch as soon as possible. Upon asking for a reference, we clearly mentioned the specific details for which we'd been instructed to follow up. However, the person on the other end was quite rude. If you receive a call from them, I suggest you give it a miss - it’s clear this is a scam, as any legitimate outfit would provide additional information instead of being unhelpful.

Received a call about a debit that I don't have, and the attitude of the caller was beyond frustrating! Quite inconsiderate, to say the least.

I've received the same message as before, and I'm really eager to speak with Mike regarding a reference number! It’s puzzling because when this is a legitimate debt collection strategy, one would expect them to actually call or write instead of just sending texts, wouldn't you agree? We won't be returning their call.

Cheers for sharing your thoughts on this thread, everyone! I received a call on my landline prompting me to contact a 'mike' and providing a reference number. It all strikes me as rather dodgy, especially since I've had the same number and been ex-directory for about eight years.

I received a text from the number 01563556530, and they provided a reference number, but I'm really starting to think it's some sort of scam. I've not attempted to return the call, just to be on the safe side!

I've just received the same annoying call and won't bother returning the call. Cheers to everyone for the heads-up! -Joe :-))

I've received two texts from the number 01563556530. They’ve mentioned a reference of some sort, but I can’t shake the feeling it’s a bit dodgy. Our manager would certainly not be chuffed about getting a ridiculous bill for a random call or whatever. I’d advise just to completely ignore any further communications from this one. Is there any possibility for BT to look into this since it seems to be their SMS?

My father-in-law, who's quite advanced in years, recently received a letter from this company and decided to give the number a bell. However, these individuals were rather uncooperative, as they wouldn’t disclose any specifics about the purported debt or the creditor involved. After visiting this site and gathering some insights, I feel reassured that I can now ease his worries.

I've received two calls from the number 01563556530, both accompanied by a text message providing a reference. I'm rather suspicious and suspect it might be some sort of scam. I can only imagine how our manager would react if we ended up with an unexpected charge for a missed call or something along those lines. Best to ignore this number completely if it doesn’t seem legitimate. Is there any possibility for BT to look into this, especially since it appears to be a message from their network?

Received the same message twice, so I decided to investigate since I've never encountered this company before. A couple of things struck me: if this were a genuine emergency, surely they'd provide clearer details. Then I stumbled upon this discussion. A massive thank you to everyone sharing their insights here! Rest assured, we won't be giving them a call back!

We've recently acquired the very same phone, and we've had the chance to hear this a few times now. It's a message coming through the home phone, but we feel that BT really ought to investigate this, considering it’s a BT text! One can only hope that this situation gets resolved swiftly, before anyone ends up losing a substantial amount of money.

I received a text message on my landline and couldn’t quite catch the gist of the BT message-too quick for me! I did a little digging into the number and stumbled upon this site. No way I'm ringing them back!

We've recently acquired the very same phone. We've had the chance to hear this a fair few times because it's coming through our landline. However, we reckon BT ought to investigate this matter further since it's clearly a BT text! It would be great if they could sort it out swiftly-lest someone ends up losing a hefty sum of money.

We contacted this number promptly after receiving a message urging us to call back as soon as possible. Upon asking for the reference, we clearly mentioned the specific details that were given to us for the return call. The individuals on the other end were rather rude. My advice? Just disregard this call entirely; it was blatantly a scam. If it were legitimate, they’d definitely provide more clarity.

We stumbled upon this peculiar call on our landline, which was accompanied by a text saying we needed to urgently contact a chap named Mike at McKenzie Hall. It struck us as rather odd, and after perusing your insights, it's clear we shan't be returning the call. This whole situation has all the hallmarks of a scam, if you ask me.

I recently received a rather suspicious text from some outfit named MACKHALL, urging me to urgently contact a chap named Mike at McKenzie Hall and reference M15063739. The peculiar thing is that this text landed on a pay-as-you-go number that we strictly reserve for emergencies only; it’s never been shared with a soul, let alone registered anywhere. Given these circumstances, I can’t help but suspect this might be some sort of scam.
