Typo In Mortgage Scam Letter Claims Unintended Victim

In Utah, The Salt Lake Tribune reports that a woman received 75 phone calls over a few days - all mistakenly directed to her cell phone number by what appears to be a typographical error contained in a mortgage fraud scam letter. "I just hope it stops and that I don't have to change my [cell-phone] number," said the accidental victim.
