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.
Possible robocall detected.

A courteous Kantar representative, acting for Nielsen Ratings, called and proposed an $8,000 reward for taking part in a survey. The caller asked about my TV and internet habits, then mentioned that a Nielsen associate might follow up regarding the ratings program. During the call, I was asked to provide personal details such as my full name, email address, and to confirm the number they dialed.
An unknown number called once, but there was no voicemail left.
User supplied info: neutral vibe, just saying.
Just an unknown number, no one answered.
I tried calling twice last week; the first hit voicemail that told me not to leave a message, then a few days later I picked up and heard a bunch of background noise before they just dropped the call, man.
Buzz around the DC Queensgate shop, hey.
Atlas Investment reached out with a very sales‑y approach. I’m not convinced their offers are legit.
Consumer Finance Q card kept calling to pressurize me about a supposed debt. Very aggressive.
I received a call from this number every day for weeks; when I finally answered last night, the caller claimed to be from Charities Prime Express, not asking for a donation but conducting a survey. I struggled to follow his words, and after a moment he remarked that my communication seemed problematic before hanging up. I hope the calls stop – it feels like a scam.
Hair Salon: Vivo
Unknown caller, just a quick buzz and then silence.
Repeatedly rings then disconnects.
Several calls arrived last week; whenever I answered there was silence, and callbacks never connected – definitely a scam.
Got a confirmation for my hair appointment, cool.
