Narrative:
On the shfty one arrival. The last fix on arrival is ponty; plate depicts a 328 degree heading after ponty. NOTAM and ATIS called for a 238 degree heading. We briefed it and when the FMS started the turn early I hit heading and asked again for the heading and we turned to the 328 degree heading instead of the 238 degree heading. We realized the mistake as they called us and assigned us a heading of 270 degrees. They told us we would get contact info from the tower. Captain called the tower they said they were having problems with this NOTAM. We were not the first crew to do this. We briefed it and read all the NOTAMS and retrieved the ATIS. We should have included in the brief something about how the similar headings (328 - 238); could be easily confused; and to be more aware of this. Should have been more diligent. If they could change the heading to a 240 degrees it might help any confusion also.
