[SOLVED]Pheonix ("Business Card") Beth's metadex

[SOLVED] phone number found hidden on the bird picture: 702-407-0925

An ingame phone number for a Dr. Schuffhausen.

New website: Dr. Schuffhausen

Thanks to bakntime for finding the hidden numbers and to trip for making the phonecall and sapagoo for finding the website. And to everyone who contributing to the investigation.



[EDIT2: Ok, he's in game. My bad! --AnthraX101]

So it is definitely a phone number? I'll keep it [PUZZLE] till someone finds out. I can't. I'm at work right now on break.

I think it's a phone number.


It is, according to Google:

It certainly seems like it, but it's starting to sound like it may not be in game... but I definitely agree to keep it [PUZZLE] as it's not "solved" as in solved solved yet.

I suggest removing the name and address of this guy immediately until we know more about this puzzle.

Could it possibly be a login ID, or password? Although for who, or which site, I have no idea.

FYI: people on IRC are trying various permutations and combinations--for example, reading the center three numbers as the area code, or reading the last four numbers from top to bottom). I'm keeping a live, running account of what's happening at http://metacortex.netninja.com/my_notes/PhoneNumbers.txt so that people aren't duplicating effort. When things are a little less frantic, I'll post the results here.

EDIT: These are the numbers that were tried before Trip called the first one again and we all kind of gave up looking for more interpretations of the numbers:
Code:
702-407-0925  AnthraX101
              "got a really nice asian man that had no idea what I was babbeling about"
702-407-0925  YeahYeah
              "same asian guy, he was happy but couldnt help me"
702-407-0925  StreetPreacher
              "also asked for Arnold.  Nice guy"
702-407-0625  moatie
              "is a fax amchine"
407-702-0925  BrianEnigma
              Invalid number? Overloaded phone network? (fast busy signal)
702-407-5290  BrianEnigma
              No answer after 10 rings
702-307-0625  YeahYeah
              out of service
702-307-0925  YeahYeah
              out of service
702-401-0925  YeahYeah
              Dr. Wong

I think it might well be an in-game thing. If they wanted to do a "more live" interaction with us, I don't see a reason why they wouldn't use a phone conversation. As we know, such conversation can't take place on a 206 k-7 number, so why not Vegas (Henderson is Vegas)? One of the clues was there - it is entirely possible that a "character" lives there.
