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 ping call from this unknown number is just a quick buzz, but it feels like a prank every time.
They keep dialing Australia without leaving a voicemail. I have no connection to you or anyone there. Cease these calls—I won’t answer or return them. Definitely a scammer; I've blocked and reported the number.

They're a real nuisance; despite telling them no, they keep calling, and I'm considering unsubscribing.
Aggressive advertising call that wouldn't stop talking about a product I have no interest in.
The call dropped, and no one spoke when the line was answered.
They attempt to push outsourcing real‑estate leads and are extremely persistent with nonstop calls.
Another unknown number that just spammed me with a recorded message. Not worth the bother.
