One clue to the scam is the phone number in that email, which does not match theirs or infact the email contact address itself which is not correct.

Yes . I noticed that . It could be that they have several phone numbers and email addresses no ?

The web address is valid, it's safe enough for them to display it, it reinforces the idea that they are a legitimate company whereas they are just purporting to represent them. This is the essence of a clone scam. The domain for the email address however was only registered 18 days ago

A quick copy and paste from their last scam should do it. The pdf contains again the fake email address and phone number. Aviva do not offer fixed term bonds.

From the FCA website - https://www.fca.org.uk/news/warnings/aviva-plc-aviva-bonds-plc-clone-fca-authorised-firm. 

The FCA notice even that that fake phone number "0207 060 9546" and email domain "aviva-inv.com" so a perfect match. Avoid and be very aware of other scam attempts.

No idea but might depend on what country they are operating from.

Which part of the FCA's advice 
"...Aviva Investors (clone of FCA authorised firm)  Warnings Published: 15/07/2020 Last updated: 18/08/2020"
don't you understand?  
Although if you are struggling, maybe you should get help from the "slow cousin" who you blame in another post!

Aviva do not have any savings products.    
What this is likely to be is an Aviva corporate bond with a short maturity date is being used by scammers to pretend it is a savings account.    This is a very common scam.   The investor thinks they are getting a fixed term deposit with a household name.   So, they trust it.     However, what happens is the scammers keep the money for themselves. It was just a red herring to get the investor to send money to them.
The telephone number and domain do not match the real Aviva investors.  
And Aviva investors do not retail in this manner.

The PDF coding does not match Aviva and has been edited.   The link to the real document is here:
https://library.aviva.com/tridion/documents/view/ai-corporate-brochure-customer.pdf

Note the back page which shows different fake contact details. The fake brochure is a combination of different brochures with the editing of a lot of details.  Every Aviva document has a unique code applied to it and a date to indicate version numbers.
This is a scam.

Aviva do a High yield fixed income range but not direct to the public.  I suspect its a SCAM

Yes I clicked on an ad somewhere online and got a email than a phonecall.

I guess any scammer could get someone phone number and email address no ?

No, not unless your device / computer has been compromised. Or did you provide your contact details as you were interested in the ad and wanted to find out more?

If you have literally been emailed and called out of the blue after just clicking a link, it's time for a thorough virus scan / factory reset of your device / computer.
