there is a scam going about where you get a card from a parcel company saying they tried to deliver a parcel and to ring a number to re deliver it etc. You ring the number and you get billed £300 for the call, be warned.

I had a similar one.
It was an email claiming to come from Fed-ex.

It's not true. Well, it was true 5 years ago but not true nowadays.
