Think I may have been scammed

Hi,
I sold a phone on ebay, but sent the wrong colour to the buyer. I agreed to swap it for the correct colour on receipt of the wrong phone.
However, the parcel arrived this morning and it was empty!
I have just emailed the seller to inform them, and they replied saying they are coming to my house tomorrow to pick up the correct phone. I have told them in no uncertain terms that I do not agree with this and that I think they are trying to scam me. What do I do if they do turn up?
