+1 801-717-9399

It's a telephone number and it's cropping up in all kinds of places, including a PayPal / Target / Apple iPhone scam that arrived in our own mailbox this morning.

According to WhitePages.com, the telephone number +1 801-717-9399 is a landline registered to an address in Lindon, Utah, USA.

Whitepages.com marks it as "low spam risk." That's clearly an example of where "the internet" has it wrong.

That is all the more disturbing as Whitepages.com promotes itself as a provider of Know Your Customer and risk assessment services.

The mail we received is at the bottom of this page. It provides the number and says that it is the number of PayPal to whom cancellation or an order for a phone purchased at Target may be made.

Several people have, within the past few days, reported to 800notes.com that they have received a similar mail. The general thrust of the e-mails is similar but the product and the companies named may be different. There are other differences. This indicates that the mail has been created with a view to defeating mail analysis on both incoming and outgoing servers. The common factor is that the return address is always at gmail, but not the same account.
