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 today offering a free consult to shave off my mortgage faster or boost wealth via property investing—super friendly and helpful, for real.
The caller was really polite and warm, and even though I wasn’t interested they stayed chill and patient—no pressure at all.
Alert: spam caller (03)-3714583 called twice consecutively, then once from a private line. Block and consider reporting.
I have no clue who called around 7:06 pm, and no voicemail was left.
Got two rings with no message; tried calling back and couldn't get through, yeah.
Mystery number, nothing noteworthy besides a brief ring.

Number showed up as unknown, couldn't identify who was calling.
Good to realize that the call left no message; after cancelling my HelloFresh subscription, it must've been them, so I definately blocked numerous numbers linked to them.
Three attempts were made to reach me. The first rang up as suspected spam, which I ignored. When I answered the second, the caller hung up immediately and then redialed. I chose not to answer the third call, indicating probable spam.
I chose not to answer and have no intention of doing so.
Seems like a fake credit‑card scenario!
Another unknown call that just rattled my phone—no clue what it was about.
This line keeps calling at odd hours, making me uncomfortable. Definitely a harassment issue.
Might be spam.
Greenpeace's number rang, and the caller was friendly and informative—seems legit.
I ignore the call.
When I picked up, they claimed I’d somehow been entered in a contest – maybe online or at a shop – which I don’t remember. They said I’d won a draw and started firing lifestyle questions, lol.
Dette er enda en kvise på samfunnets rampe, haha.
A voicemail asked me to return the call to a mobile line, and the speaker had a Polynesian accent.
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.
Caller type, purpose, date/time and cues that guided your decision.
