Keep your guard up when the same Auckland‑based number keeps popping up. Scammers often masquerade as charities like Ronald McDonald House to harvest personal data or push bogus offers. Verify any request for donations or account details by contacting the organization through official channels, not the inbound caller. If the call sounds scripted, mentions vague "thank you for donating" without a receipt, or pushes a product (e.g., iPhone purchase), treat it as a potential fraud. Block the number, report it to your carrier, and consider a call‑filtering app to reduce repeat nuisances. Staying skeptical protects both your wallet and your privacy.
