Someone pretended to run a survey for NZ Police; despite recent interactions with the force, the comments made me skeptical. I asked them to call back later because I was at work and plan to block the number.

Expert Opinion
A wolf in sheep's clothing shows up at your door, pretending to be a helpful survey. These repeated calls from +6448307867 claim affiliation with Research NZ, ACC, MBIE, or even the police, but they never leave a voicemail and often ask for personal or business details. Since legitimate agencies always provide a callback number or email and clearly identify themselves, any unsolicited request for confirmation is a red flag. Hang up, block the number, and verify the claim through official channels before sharing personal details. Report the number to the local consumer protection agency and add it to your phone’s spam filter.
