Ownership/type: No reliable, authoritative confirmation of who owns +6498862402 or its exact category (mobile, landline, or enterprise) from the provided results. 2. Online chatter: Several NZ focused reverse lookup and commenter sites exist, with user reported experiences about unknown calls, but none provide verified ownership or official risk assessment for this specific number. 3. Scam/abuse association: Some community reports mention spam/telemarketing on similar NZ numbers; no definitive, verifiable claim specifically tying this number to scam or fraud. 4. Public exposure/leak: The number appears in crowdsourced lookup databases and call report communities, suggesting exposure in public facing platforms, but no clear indication of a data breach or leak tied to this exact number. 5. Advisability of answering: Given the lack of reliable verification, the prudent stance is to avoid returning calls until ownership and legitimacy are confirmed from trusted sources.

Seems legit and fails the dob challenge so makes me think they have my data but what got me was once it failed they ask you to call back on 12345 which is not a phone number where I live :D I would say scam!

Automated / recorded message saying "Hello this is an important message from Westpac, please press any key to continue..." So of course i press the end call key as this sounds to generic and phishing to really be a bank
