But US phone numbers are XXX-XXX-XXXX, this is XXX-XXX-XXXXX

In the North America Dialing Plan, 1-xxx-xxx-xxxx is the full number. From land-line phones, you have to add the "1". Cell phone carriers add the "1" (the country code) and just assume you want to talk within the US/Canada. Under the NADP digits after the 11th (including the assumed "1") are dropped, so the extra digit on these billboards is valid, just a gross mis-statement.

I get rage-angry when I see the ones that show the old (outdated) evolutionary model from primate to Hominid with the text "evolution=lie". They're all over where I live. Bastards.

That’s a terrific point. I’ve seen those billboards everywhere though, but I’m guessing they don’t get a lot of phone calls with an invalid phone number?

I wonder if it’s actually some sort of tax fraud scheme or something.

I was thinking it could be a number with a country code just formatted weirdly, but the only one it could be is cambodia which is +855 and the lengrh would still be wrong
