Just received a scam phone call - Lemmy NZ

First time this has happened to me here in NZ. Just received a call to my cell, from an 027 number. A robotic voice then said > This is a One NZ urgent notice. Your account is about to go out of service. Press 1 for English, and 2 for Chinese Of course I hung up, and checking my One NZ app which naturally had no issues. These kinds of things seem to be becoming more and more common. I wonder if more people are falling for them, or if the scammers are just more desperate? Does anyone know how to report a phone number?

Department of Internal Affairs have a link to Netsafe for scam calls
