A noticeable pattern emerges: callers repeatedly claim affiliation with OmniLead and push surveys, prize draws, or vague competitions. Many reports mention abrupt hang‑ups once the recipient shows disinterest, a hallmark of aggressive telemarketing. To protect yourself, let unknown numbers go to voicemail, verify any claimed offers on the official website, and consider adding the number to a do‑not‑call registry. If personal data is requested, treat it as a red flag and refuse to share details. Using call‑blocking apps can also reduce exposure to these persistent, likely unsolicited marketing calls.
The caller requested my email, year of birth, power company and again my birth year. They then posed a series of questions about which charities I would support, claiming the offer was for a grocery voucher and another voucher, and said they represented Brand Leaders NZ.
I was told to block this number after it requested a survey promising prizes, used my address and name, asked for my email (I gave a false one), then requested my birthdate, so I hung up.
They offered a free entry into a prize draw after completing a survey, sounds like a potential scam, but I didnt bother to find out.
Didn't recognize the digits, the caller ID said suspected spam so I ignored it, by the way the call came in at 12:51 pm on July 15 2024.
Total scam, be ware.
The call went to voicemail; the message claimed I entered an OmniLead competition, which I never did.
She claimed to represent "Better…", began explaining that because the call was unsolicited she was interested, then hung up abruptly. Looks shady—beware.
A woman called Rosalyn, sounding rude, called from this number. When I began to say I wasn't interested, she hung up before I could finish. Rude cow.
Missed two rings, finally grabbed the third on Wednesday June 5 at 4:24 pm, and they cut the line as soon as I spoke, lol.
Got a call from an unknown number and couldn't make sense of it. Nothing useful, just odd.
I was awakened this morning to a missed call from a landline, had been expecting a few calls all week, so I returned it and discovered it was from an unfamiliar company called OmniLead. I'm uncertain how they obtained my number, likely through dubious advertising.
Couldn't place the caller, so I stayed silent when I picked up; the line just waited and then the person hung up, honestly.
A call from 09-967-8696 was missed this morning 10/5/2024. Two days earlier, on 8/5/24, a call from Auckland landline 09-871-4439 was hung up as soon as I spoke. On 24/04/24, a call from Auckland landline 09-610-5816 was also terminated immediately. They all seem related.
Got a weird sweepstakes pitch; seemed like a typical lottery scam.
Claimed a prize through OmniLead, which turned out to be a scam.
The caller was very rude, she hung up on me after just a few seconds of talking
I called the number back, and it went to voicemail, they said i had entered some kind of competition, but i dont think i did, this is the second time theyve called me in two weeks.
The lifestyle brands survey was fairly neutral – just a few questions.
