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.

User flags this number as bad and advises caution.
According to the reporter, this contact is unreliable.
Looks like a Microsoft Teams call – both legit and shady folks use it. This was one of the numbers that popped up when my old job used Teams for remote dialing. Watch out for anyone relying on Teams instead of a dedicated phone system; it could be genuine, but anonymity’s a breeze, man.
Pretended to be HSBC Fraud Detection – a scam.
It rang twice then cut off before I could even catch the number – classic scam hoping I’d call back, man.
