Vivo Hair kept bombarding me with ads, very pushy. I'd block this number.

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.
Unsolicited junk
User notes: Bad + Caution
Research firm called Prime Research.
Call ended as soon as I answered.
That harassment call was really annoying; I wish they’d stop dialing random people.
User's assessment: Good.
Got a missed call with zero voicemail, clueless about the caller, you know.
SPCA reached out seeking sponsorship.
Received a call from a supposed NZ immigration office in Auckland claiming a mistake on my entry declaration, demanding a $3000 payment to verify my identity in India and warning of home‑arrest until paid
A text arrived at 8:57 pm stating my ANZ account was being examined for suspected fraudulent activity and would be frozen unless I followed a verification link. I don't hold an ANZ account myself; I'm merely named on someone else's, which appears fine. This is clearly a scam. ANZ never requests personal banking details via unsolicited messages. Never share passwords, PINs, or shield codes.
I received two afternoon calls over two days; Google flagged the number as spam.
There was silence, but I could hear someone pounding away on a keyboard in the background – weird, tbh.
Received an automated prompt to press 1, with a robotic voice speaking in Chinese.
Tagged with Caution, so be careful, just FYI.
Got a call from ANZ’s loan division, you know.
They claimed a UPS delivery attempt with background piano music, yet no signature was obtained and I wasn't awaiting any package.
User feedback indicates: Bad.
User notes: Annoying
