I received an automated voice message from this number claiming to be from a legal firm, and when I called back, they alleged to be from the IRD, stating that I had evaded tax and threatening arrest if I did not pay immediately.
Tax Scam Alert: Robotic Threats and Fake Legal Claims! - +64 4 889 2697 (04 889 2697)
Summary — +6448892697
Expert Opinion
Seems like a classic tax‑scam operation: robotic warnings, fake legal threats, and a push to pay immediately. The voice‑mail and follow‑up calls mimic tax authorities, but genuine agencies never demand payment over the phone or use aggressive language. Hang up, never share personal or banking details, and verify any claim by contacting the official tax office directly. Report the number to your carrier and consider blocking it. Keep a log of such calls; patterns help regulators spot coordinated fraud. Stay skeptical of unsolicited tax notices and avoid urgent payment demands.
