Nationwide - deliveries

Maybe I'm getting paranoid, I don't know.
This morning in the post came a handwritten brown envelope addressed to me containing a slip of paper from 'Nationwide Deliveries' telling me I'd missed a delivery and giving me a number to call.
Not expecting any delivery. 01895 number I didn't recognise (not in google) and which just rings through if I call it while withholding my number. No company information at all.
A sneaky debt collector (I'm BR 2 months now) or just paranoia?
WS,

Do you bank with the Nationwide? Expecting any new account stuff???
Whats the whole number?0 -
It's not nationwide. It's a firm called 'Nationwide Deliveries' on a small photocopies piece of paper with a clip-art of a van either side. Will post the full number when I'm at my desk next - googling the number didn't turn up any results though.
Thanks,

I have a vague recollection of this being a phone scam, you phone the number and it costs you an absolute fortune. I don't think it's a DCA.Accept your past without regret, handle your present with confidence and face your future without fear0

If you have the full number try googling "whocallsme". I used this to see who was calling me before I became bankrupt LOLCONFUCIUS HE SAYS ......“he who will not economise will have to agonise”0

Does anyone have any more information on this company? How are they a scam? The tel number is 01895 672923 - I am a bit worried as they have also posted a note through my door - it seems very shady.0

It will be a dca, I worked for a dca which sent these cards out regularly, it is just to get you to call them.0

Yes I do PP, it was on watchdog. Different name but same MO."If wishes were horses, then beggars would ride"

From memory its a scam.......you call the number & they'll ask for CC details for a £2 or so for an "admin fee" till you find out your £100's lighter after they nick your detailsWe all die. The goal isn't to live forever, the goal is to create something that will0

Doucam is right - it is a DCA. Just figured it out! Thanks for the replies. Was worried it might be a sophisticated burglar attempting to track my movements given the amount of questions they asked when i phoned them.0

Economy; careful management; providence. Whether you call it thrifty or frugality it all comes down to getting more for your money.0
