Default Is this a scam? PARCEL PICK-UP NOTICE

We received a "notice" in the mail today. It was a yellow postcard that was titled "PARCEL PICK-UP NOTICE".
It looks like a UPS type notice, except it does not say who it is from nor did it have a return address.
It addressed us by name and had a Package number on it.
It gives an 888 number to call the "Distribution Center" to schedule a pick-up. It says they can hold the package for ONLY 72 HOURS.

It sure looks like a scam, or at least some sort of come-on, but I cannot guess what it really is. Has anyone else gotten one of these "notices"?
Is so, did you call? What did they say?
