The telephone number 1-808-371-1635 is being used by scammers to trick potential victims into calling them. The fake customer support helpdesk number is used in a PayPal billing department helpline scam email, claiming recipients have been charged using an auto-debit, and they should call the telephone number to cancel it. But, if the number is called, potential victims will be connected to a call center operated by scammers pretending to be from Norton and other tech companies.
