It's all SCAMs to find out just call the number using *67 before the number that shows your number as unlisted to them and you should get a MoneyGram, Western Union or whatever greeting.
But the best way to tell if it is a SCAM is to just look at the email addresses.
No government agency, bank or delivery company would ever use free email servers like, AOL, Hotmail, Outlook, Yahoo, Gmail, citromail.hu or the likes.
