Check unknown NZ numbers with recent reports (Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Hamilton) and share your experience.
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.
Received a call from an unknown number that offered nothing concrete. Probably a spam call.
Kun hakking, en plagsom 'terror' på lørdagskvelden, lol.
Wolt’s delivery rider dropped off my order, all good, no problem.
User’s comment: Caution
User marked this as Bad.
The number seemed trustworthy at first glance, but I couldn't confirm any affiliation. Stay alert before responding.
Received a call from Australia with no voicemail left; it feels like a scam.
The line disconnected when I inquired about the caller's location.
User reports: Unsatisfactory.
I didn’t pick up, but the call routed to my work line, which isn’t linked to my personal name outside the office.
Got a call from an unknown number, hung up quickly.
The call claimed to be from Ebbett Motors.
It was claimed to be from ANZ regarding a Noel lemming payment, and an Auckland number 09 8022201 was provided... appears to be a scam.
User marked this as safe, cool.
Got a call from an unknown source that didn't identify itself. Nothing useful came out of it.
Unsure what this is, but blocking is advisable.
Random call with no clear purpose – felt like a generic cold‑call script.
Got a call from an unknown source; couldn't tell what it was about.
Til tross for at jeg har blokkert dem, ringer de fortsatt
User supplied feedback: Neutral.
Use the official number from the company site/app and check in‑app messages; avoid calling back the unknown number.
No. Portability/VoIP make 09/04/03/07 and 02x ranges unreliable as proof of origin.
Delivery updates, bank callbacks, 2FA codes; periodic robocalls, parcel/account phishing and scripted sales.
