The thief calls the phone number, pretending to be a legitimate caller,
pretends they've got a parcel to deliver or something. Asks for the address,
then phones the number to see if/when they are out.

No, you wouldn't fall for that one, and neither would I. Also, the address/occupancy
can be ontained by other means (like standing outside the house).

So, yes, it could be a route to theft/fraud, but only if the recipient is
exceptionally dim, and there are easier ways (for a thief) of thieving
than this.
