 Phone scam - martin aston
We get these about once a week. There are similar, but email based, scams masquerading as DPD or Royal Mail saying there is a missed delivery and a charge to pay.

The underlying scam is either a premium rate line and you are charged when you press the redial key or they are after your card details. I read last week that these scams are individually often just a few quid so the authorities won’t find them worth pursuing even though the overall scam might be pulling in tens of thousands.
