The problem is far reaching and many years old. I've seen complaints on other sites that go back to 2007!
The "Card Services" or "Card Holders" identification at the beginning of the recorded message is obviously a fictitious DBA that isn't registered to any legit business in ANY state.
The numbers that appear on your caller ID are also randomized, They're being channeled through a sophisticated phone-line rotary system. Hence they can't be traced. Reporting them is a waste of time - even if they get 7 complaints like an earlier post suggested, it won't stick because of the way these calls are generated.
Of course this is all an effort to SCAM innocent people out of their credit card info. But the real irritation after you realize it's a Scam, is having to keep getting these annoying calls.
Unfortunately, since the caller ID numbers all link back to a number whose "MAIL BOX IS FULL" there is no way to remedy this disturbance. I've tried to ignore the calls, and even block the numbers, but they use so many different numbers, even his tactic has become futile.
