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.
When I answered, I heard multiple beeps, then they inquired about a job, and after I questioned how they obtained my number they ended the call.
The call appeared fine; I was waiting for NZ Post, and someone rang from this number. He claimed I had to pick up a parcel, yet the address and contact phone he gave were incorrect. I briefly suspected a scam, but other commenters confirmed the number is legitimate—relief!

Received a random SMS spam message—nothing useful, just a generic promo.

Got an SMS spam from an unknown number; just a generic sales pitch with a weird link. Not helpful.
I received an unsolicited call.
Credit card fraud targeting Visa users.
An automated message claimed two odd transactions on a Visa card, then transferred me to a boiler‑room scammer who hung up after I greeted him with “good morning scammer”. How could I tell it was a scam? I don’t even own a Visa credit card!
I have no clue why they’re calling me.
Use the official number from the company site/app and check in‑app messages; avoid calling back the unknown number.
