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 indicates the info was poor.
User feedback: Negative
Bare si hallo og legg på igjen, haha.
I blocked the number several times last week, answered it this time, and was unsettled when the caller knew my first name and mentioned a donation I supposedly made outside a store (maybe Mega Invercargill), making me doubt its legitimacy.
User assessment: Bad.
User labeled this as a bad telemarketing call.
User reported this as a bad experience.
Calls appear several times a day even though the number has been blocked.
The IRD reached out about two‑step verification and everything appeared legitimate.
An aggressive SPCA sales rep tried to push a no‑obligation quote I’d requested online; consider blocking the number if you’re not interested.
Mentions MBI mechanical breakdown insurance.
I'm fed up with these spam calls 🤬 They call weekly, ask for a survey, and when I said I only speak English they replied, "sorry we don't do surveys in English". Why keep calling?
Kallet kom kl. 20:53, de sa hallo og la på umiddelbart

It's not IRD; this is a scam.
