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.
Got a ping call out of nowhere—just a brief ring with no follow‑up.
Received two calls from this number, no voicemail left, and a callback triggers the message “your call is unable to proceed at this time – please try again later”, so it appears to be a scam.
Received four calls over the last week with no voicemail. Calling them back connected me to “Raisers Hub”, a telemarketing service based in Auckland.
Bay radiology called to confirm an appointment. The number seemed official and trustworthy.
A person from Australia pretended to be Telstra about my internet, even though I don’t use Telstra services. Previously, I’ve gotten spoofed calls from New Zealand numbers, and from texting it appears the numbers belong to real people being exploited by scammers.
Dialed an Australian mobile, the call was cut off with no message, and a later attempt returned an automated notice about service difficulties – likely spam.
The ping call was brief and sounded automated, probably just a system check.
Fast Connect's number seemed trustworthy; the representative explained the service clearly and answered my questions.

Another silent call—this makes four in two days, crazy.
Heads up, this number belongs to scammers who snatch cash and pretend to be Spark Security offering internet help. Don't pick up, for real!
No voicemail left; the caller mentioned being from Australia.
Got a missed call from an unknown number. Called back later and they introduced themselves as Nests Edge…no one I know or have given my details to. A quick Google shows there're a lead‑gen firm, y’know.
Fell victim to a fraud pretending to be Spark Security, lost NZ$19,000 and reported it to the police.
Caller is unknown, possibly spam. No message was left; they rang a few times then stopped. Do not call back.
They claimed to be running a world poll and needed to verify my info right at the start. I've gotten several calls this week from different numbers; looks like they’re linked, and my phone flags one as spam, yep.
Probably a scam; I hung up immediately after picking up.
