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.

A robotic voice asked me to confirm my identity and press 1 to hold for the next available person.
On 23 Aug 2021 at 13:46, I got a call from a number displayed as 06499509207, which seemed suspicious because it didn't follow the standard format of +64 or 0064; when I picked up, there was silence, so I ended the call
The caller rang again the next day, but I opted to ignore it.
