During a quiet afternoon in New Zealand, this call from an unfamiliar mobile number caught someone off guard. The pre-recorded message claiming to be from Visa raised instant red flags—legitimate banks rarely use random NZ mobiles for outreach. This setup screams scam attempt, designed to hook you into sharing card details or personal info. Hang up immediately if you get something similar; never engage or press buttons as prompted. Block the number on your phone and report it to authorities like Netsafe or the Do Not Call registry to help curb these nuisances. Staying vigilant keeps your finances secure.
After answering on impulse, a pre‑recorded Visa alert played, so I hung up right away—my bank never calls from a NZ mobile. Appears to be a scam; best to ignore.
