Phone scams pretending to be INZ
Immigration New Zealand is aware of recent targeted phone scams coming from various New Zealand mobile numbers.
These scams are pretending to be Immigration New Zealand and they often say that there is a serious problem with your visa. The call then asks you to press different numbers for English or Chinese services.
These are not genuine calls from Immigration New Zealand.
These sorts of calls are used to identify people for further scams. In the future, they may attempt to manipulate or trick people into giving away their personal details, financial details, or money.
If you or someone you know gets a call like this, please report it to CERT NZ and do not engage further.
If you are a visa holder and you get a scam call, and you want to make sure that your current visa situation is ok, please call the Immigration New Zealand Service Centre.
If you’re a bit worried about this and need support, please email internationalstudentsupport@op.ac.nz
