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.
The caller demanded an overdue payment, used my full legal name, and sounded of Indian origin; I ended the call and reported the number per company policy.
På grunn av helsen min har jeg ikke energi til dette maset
Can't tell what this unknown number wants; it just kept ringing without leaving a message.
They called and immediately hung up, which felt oddly strange.
I attempted to call them back, only to hear that the number was unreachable—clearly suspicious.
When I picked up, the caller dropped the line, a behavior I've noticed with other similar calls.
After asking them to quit the calls—since they'd been ringing nonstop—they replied, “Don’t you want to know why I’m calling?” I said nope and the line cut off. I’ve blocked the number now, yeah.
User remark: Annoying
I didn’t answer because the number was unfamiliar; I have no contacts in Palmerston North.
They keep dialing then drop the call, crazy.
Got another pushy HelloFresh promo – feels like they’re trying to force the meal kits on everyone.
Når jeg svarer, får jeg ingen respons; dette har skjedd flere ganger
The call was related to an IRD rebate
Contact number: 0632512382
Seems like a legit number, but I couldn't verify the caller. Use caution if they ask for personal info.
Got a phishing text—yeah, classic scam move.
This is clearly a spam call, providing no useful or relevant information.
De ringte og sa ha det bra.
Vivo Hair Salon called with aggressive advertising, pushing a discount I wasn't interested in.

Common patterns?
Delivery updates, bank callbacks, 2FA codes; periodic robocalls, parcel/account phishing and scripted sales.
What to include in a report?
Caller type, purpose, date/time and cues that guided your decision.
