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 feedback: Good and Safe.
They repeatedly call, lasting only a few seconds before ending; when I answered, someone muttered something then only bird sounds and music played. Returning the call gets forwarded instantly and then denied.
These folks are awesome, man!
User says: Good.
Unanswered cold call with no voicemail; the number has rung several times.
Biz Cover’s telemarketing approach was very aggressive, trying to sell insurance in under a minute. I wasn’t interested.
A message claiming to be from NZ Police demanding a $40 traffic fine payment is a scam.
When I called back, I was told the line is inactive (likely a scam).
User classified the call as neutral.
Message claiming to be from New Zealand police and warning of court action over an unpaid fine
Message pretending to be NZTA and alleging unpaid toll fees
They dropped the call the moment I picked up, which was pretty rude. Yikes!

The caller dials and immediately hangs up to trigger a missed‑call notification, showing up as suspected spam and now blocked.
These insurance telemarketers are despicable.
They rang about an overdue invoice, trying to get payment. Got it.
The number belongs to Techxavvy, supposedly a tech gear seller that lures folks with online contests on platforms like Facebook to snag personal info. Once they have your digits they keep ringing nonstop—no matter how much you shout or swear, they just won’t quit. They need to be shut down, man.
IRD Kiwisaver called from a legit line; they were courteous and the info matched my records. No concerns here.
Uncertain who the caller was, though the call originated from abroad.
