Card Services Scam with a twist.
First, they ignore do not call registry.
Next, by registering as a phony telephone company in Washingon, Oregon & California, they control the following telephone exchanges:
Pacific Telecom Communications group controls the following blocks of phone numbers:
Area Code Exchange
206 496
253 246-8xxx
253 382-8xxx
360 328-8xxx
360 474-3xxx
360 529-6xxx
425 390-8xxx
425 658-8xxx
425 953-8xxx
Now the twist - when pressed, the person on the line, after identifying the company as "Card Services", then gave the company name of "Creative Solutions" and a business address of Gatlin Blvd, Orlando Fl.
A quick search indicates that there IS a company named Creative Solutions on Gatlin Blvd in Orlando that was formed in June by a Martin Hidalgo. It is impossible to tell at this point if this individual is connected with Steve Hamilton, the owner of Pacific Telecom Communications Group.
Beware. This is a phone operation designed to fish legitimate credit card and personal info from unwary consumers.
