I think the attempted humor flew over your head.
I wasn't too sure whether it was a actual question or just some trolling, so I just went with the former of the two. Oh well.

That is actually a valid phone number. +31 stands for the country calling code, which can also written as 00 31 (or 011 31, depending on your location). In this case, it's the code for the Netherlands.Scam emails are supposed to appeal to the stupid, right? This one has far too many numbers, which would scare off the target market. Plus, how many of them would get stuck trying to figure out how to dial + on their phones?
@some scammer said:
Tel:+31-647-226-334
Furthermore, the trunk prefix in the Netherlands is 0, which means that the phone number (in local format) is 06 47226334. 06 is one of the non-geographical numbers and is used for mobile phones (making the last 8 digits the subscriber number).
However, if you've never seen an international phone number before, then it's understandable why you weren't familiar with the international dialing prefix and why you thought the number to be incorrect.
Short version: it's a perfectly valid Dutch mobile phone number.
