Whatever, do not 'return' them to anyone other than Sky.  The usual procedure is for the scammers to now provide 'return' pickup or labels.

 

If you 'return' them elsewhere then the scammers will have the phones and you'll be paying for them.

 

If you did not receive a call about this then your account password was probably a duplicate that you've used elsewhere.  Change it immediately.

You need to call Sky and speak to them as soon as possible about this.

As @PandJ2020 indicates, the scammers will now be very keen to get hold of the hardware, so be extremely wary of all inbound communication.

You mostly likely will receive a call from the scammers stating the incorrect gifts have arrived & that they'll send a courier to collect the phones, if so then hang up immediately. The phones need to be returned to Sky, they should send you a returns label.
