It's startling how a single online insurance quote can unleash a barrage of persistent calls from mismatched numbers. This pattern points to aggressive telemarketing tactics, where companies scrape leads from public sources and ignore opt-out requests. The Auckland-Nelson discrepancy in the number's origin raises red flags about authenticity—likely a tactic to evade tracking. Block the number immediately and register with New Zealand's Do Not Call service to reduce unwanted contacts. If calls continue, report to the Telecommunications Commissioner for potential violations of anti-spam laws. Verify any claims before engaging, and consider using call-screening apps for added protection.
A voicemail pretended to be from a financial firm—Google lists its headquarters in Auckland, yet the number appears to originate from Nelson. After reviewing insurance policies online, I’ve started receiving calls from this and similar numbers despite stating I’m no longer interested. I have reported it.
The insurance telemarketer called with a scripted pitch; felt a bit pushy.
