voicemail message via email

I've got two voicemail messages on my email - I've not opened or listened to them. It gives their phone numberIs it a form of spam or phishing? Why would someone do that if it's genuine? Wouldn't they just send an email?

DON'T OPEN THEM, especially on a PC. If they really want to contact you they'll use the phone.

I put them straight in to Spam ready to delete, but just thought maybe I was missing something. Thanks

I've not come across a scam of this nature. Their are services - BT has one and I use Sipgate - that forward voicemails to email. I don't use one but I believe I phones have a feature that forwards your voicemail to your email account. There's a possibility someone has set up a forwarding service incorrectly to your email address, or - if you're using an iPhone - you've inadvertently set the forwarding service on? But if you're not expecting them I'd delete them!

Yes, this is a new scam food distributing malware.
