Expert Opinion

Like a wolf in sheep's clothing, this number preys on trust with deceptive texts mimicking family emergencies. Reports highlight a scam targeting elderly relatives, posing as a loved one with a 'broken phone' story to elicit responses or funds. Unsolicited calls to mobiles without voicemails scream avoidance—block immediately to shield vulnerable contacts. Never reply to suspicious messages; verify directly through known channels. Report to authorities like NZ's Netsafe or Australia's Scamwatch for tracking. Educate family on red flags like urgent pleas from unknown numbers—staying vigilant keeps scammers at bay.
