I'd say thats unusual. Ancestry are a reputable company , used by many
Its more likely that someone has given your details

How do you know it was for DNA kit? Did one turn up?

You can sign up to their records search , but you have to give card details
Search, free for a month, then remember to cancel

I’ve used Ancestry on and off for years with no bother. If you bought a DNA kit I’m assuming you accidentally agreed to a subscription and didn’t realise? If so it isn’t a scam, just human error.
