Expert Opinion
If you get a call from +6499144100 saying you’ve messed up your NZ immigration paperwork and need to pay a fine fast, it’s almost certainly a scam. Legit immigration officials never demand money over the phone, especially not via money‑gram or steam vouchers. Hang up, block the number, and report it to Immigration New Zealand. Don’t share personal details or banking info, and never give remote‑access to your computer. If the caller claims to be from a bank, verify by calling the official number you already have. Staying skeptical and double‑checking with the real agency will keep you safe.

Harassment Call
A fraudulent operator took 0.01 and $5 from my account, then phoned asking me to access my Westpac account via a keypad to verify the transaction. They knew my name but had an incorrect address, tried to convince me it was a genuine Westpac call, and threatened further withdrawals if I didn’t comply. I terminated the call, transferred funds to another account, blocked the card, and contacted Westpac, enduring a two‑hour hold. Stay vigilant.
