Receiving a call that hangs up immediately after answering, preceded by a text about Planned Care Waitlist Support, raises red flags for potential impersonation. The text's warning not to reply and unmonitored status suggests it could be legitimate healthcare outreach in New Zealand, but unsolicited contacts like this often mask scams targeting personal details. Verify independently by contacting your healthcare provider directly using official channels, never via the provided number. Block the caller if suspicious, and report to authorities like Netsafe. Enable call screening on your phone to filter unknowns, reducing unwanted interruptions.
The caller disconnects as soon as I pick up. Earlier I received a morning text saying, "Kia ora, you will soon receive a call from Planned Care Waitlist Support. The call will show as 0800 923 366. Unmonitored – Please do not reply."
