Unknown calls in New Zealand
Unsure about a New Zealand number? Explore concise community notes to judge calls and texts. In Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Hamilton you’ll see a mix of legitimate callbacks (deliveries, banking, appointments) and waves of robocalls or phishing. Prefixes like 09 (Auckland), 04 (Wellington), 03 (Christchurch), 07 (Hamilton) and 02x mobile ranges don’t reliably prove location or identity because of portability and VoIP.
Verification: return calls via the official number on the company website/app, check in‑app notices and never share one‑time codes by phone. Use device/carrier blocking for repeat issues and leave a short, factual note here to help others.

An AI bot on our help‑desk line pretended to be from Google and tried to extract information.
Fraudster.
When I picked up, all I heard was heavy breathing before the line went dead. Creepy, right? 😬
User comment: miscellaneous.
User gave this a thumbs‑up, saying it’s good. 👍
A fraudulent call labeled me as a 'little rat'.
Nova Energy reached out, and it seemed like a legit service call – I’ll follow up if needed.
Fraudster on the line babbled nonsense, so I hung up.
The following SMS arrived: "Make sure your toll‑road fees are settled within five days to avoid issues. Outstanding balances will be turned over to our collection agency. https://t.ly/8w7nS?dz=F40190" It originated from Morocco, a place I've never visited.
The Wildz casino sweepstakes call felt like a typical lottery pitch – probably spam.
Received an SMS spam message from this number; definitely unwanted.
User warning: Caution
User tagged this as Bad, FYI.
Please help me.
This is a Visa card scam: press 1 to supposedly cancel a Bitcoin payment, 2 to confirm. If you hit 2, you get routed to an operator who thinks you chose 1 and then demands your Visa debit details. Watch out! 🤔
Claims unusual transactions on a Visa for Amazon and iTunes.
Harassment call kept repeating the same phrase and wouldn't stop. Very annoying.
