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.
Spam SMS from an unknown sender – ignore and delete.
A call came in on Wednesday at 6:51 pm.
These guys from Gem Personal Loans push you to merge debts or snag a personal loan, for real.
Voicemail wasn't left.
Seems like they’re trying to squeeze cash out of me to fund themselves—major red flag, dude.
Got a spammy SMS from this line, full of random links. I'd block it.
Another one – a bloke pushing UK pension transfers, you know.
At 6:15 pm the call came in and was dropped as soon as I picked up.
Fraudulent caller.
User finds this number annoying.
It just keeps ringing nonstop if you don't pick up, honestly.
Calls kept coming in the afternoons while I'm on the job—pretty irritating.
Even after blocking the number, they continue to call repeatedly.
Even after blocking, they keep ringing over and over; calling back just sends you to a dead‑end answering machine with no voicemail option, dude.
User feedback rates this entry as poor.
This nuisance never leaves a voicemail; I suspect it’s a charity solicitation and have blocked it.
In September a call came in; after I answered, nothing was spoken and the line was cut immediately, leaving no voicemail. Another ring occurred today (12/11/24 at 13:52), I picked up, heard only silence and a repeated “hello”, then the call ended after eight seconds. No message was left—this number is extremely bothersome!
The number has been ringing me several times a day for the past week. I grew tired of saying I'd review the offer and reply, so I stopped answering because the caller is overly pushy and ignores everything I say. He has already called four times today. Caller ID is a lifesaver.
User reported it as good.
