Possible AI Phone Scam

Gareth from Waikanae

I received a phone call today that announced its self as an AI, asking if I would answer a few questions. I told it to "go away" in no uncertain terms. It sounded frighteningly human but its replies were a bit off on timing and if you weren't on the ball or just woken up you could end up giving out information to an unknown AI bot. AI has taken over virtually everything that you see online as any form of video, even of people you believed you know.
Here are the numbers that I have been able to track down as being in use at present. It is Auckland but the 242 area code appears not to exist. You now need to be very, very careful now answering your phone calls.

Confirmed (at present) numbers used by this AI scam
All Auckland, or so it appears.
BUT area code 242 doesn't exist as far as I can see.
