Unknown calls in New Zealand
Unsure about a New Zealand number? Explore concise community notes to judge calls and texts. In Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Hamilton you’ll see a mix of legitimate callbacks (deliveries, banking, appointments) and waves of robocalls or phishing. Prefixes like 09 (Auckland), 04 (Wellington), 03 (Christchurch), 07 (Hamilton) and 02x mobile ranges don’t reliably prove location or identity because of portability and VoIP.
Verification: return calls via the official number on the company website/app, check in‑app notices and never share one‑time codes by phone. Use device/carrier blocking for repeat issues and leave a short, factual note here to help others.
Got a brief, unidentifiable call that didn't provide any useful info.
I received a call asking about a filter‑change service for an HRV system.
The caller identified themselves as Westpac, which appears legitimate.
An Indian male sounding extremely angry
I’d recommend ignoring it—someone claimed to be from the Red Cross and kept pushing me to set up regular donations even after I told them I already give, which feels like a scam, you know.
The number pretends to be Uber, requesting email confirmation and likely trying to send phishing links; beware of fake Uber sites that capture login details and alter bank information to divert payouts.
Got a ping call that rang once and hung up; no voicemail left.
Another unknown number that left me wondering who was on the other end.
I ignored a call from an unfamiliar number; a quick search suggested it might belong to Vodafone.
The call started with a loud beep, and the speaker had a strong accent that made it hard to identify them. When I asked for clarification, they mentioned something about a part‑time or full‑time job, but after I said I still didn’t understand, they disconnected—seems like a possible scam.
The debt collection company keeps calling, and the tone is very aggressive. It's stressful to deal with.
A fraudulent call posed as a recruitment agency; the caller disconnected when questioned about the purpose.
This number keeps calling at odd hours; it's become quite annoying.
I received a call from an unknown source that was polite but offered nothing concrete. Hard to say if it's trustworthy.
Scheduled HRV callback to arrange a home visit for assessment and quotation of an HRV system.
I received a text saying “Hi”, and when I replied with “?”, the next message was “are you single?”. I promptly blocked and reported it as spam.
The call was disconnected right after I answered.
User marked this number as good.
Got a scam call where the caller claimed a friend gave my number, spoke Mandarin, and sounded like a typical con, FYI.
