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.

Schedules meetings but never appears; wastes time and seems to be hunting for addresses.

Repeated texts about video calls; lengthy messages never result in payment. Best to avoid.

One NZ called and seemed trustworthy; they mentioned a service I use, but I decided not to discuss details.

Received a spammy SMS link that looked sketchy—definitely SMS spam.
Mottok en samtale fra +23291700; iPhone varslet at den kom fra Sierra Leone. Etter installasjon av Telenor‑appen viser den at nummeret tilhører Kantar Media Norge AS. Jeg svarer aldri når jeg ser opprinnelse fra Sierra Leone, og ville likevel unngått å ta den fra Kantar.
The caller said he represented Commbank and spoke with an Indian accent. When I questioned why he was contacting me from New Zealand while I live in Australia, he abruptly hung up—clearly a scam.
Got a pushy sales pitch out of nowhere; felt like aggressive advertising.
Edward Potts called from a number that seemed trustworthy and provided clear, helpful information. I felt comfortable staying on the line.
