    It is 100% scam. Bogus websites are set up in probably all over Europe , one in Sweden yesterday for the Swedish mail (postnord) asking for 15 SEK (£1.30) because of a parcel waiting for delivery. The money goes to a half legit lottery type membership where the people behind the sites get commission. Contact CC and reverse charge (mi-sold service you didn't order / scam) and probably cancel the card as there is no guarantee the £1 isn't just a test amount before they hit with big withdrawals.
