Bare with me folks this will be multiple posts before the sheer amount of data is uploaded…this is what I have no doubt as being one of the largest dollar amount frauds being committed upon the citizens of the United States, as well as the UK
I’ve been uncovering this massive scam for almost 2 years and took the last week off to concentrate almost solely on seeing how deep this rabbit hole goes.
These scammers are attaching their fake shit to QR codes and legitimate apps in Apple and Google play stores, Uber payments, restaurants and almost anything you can imagine.
City and state parking seems to be mentioned continuously as the way they’re getting card details in multiple reports.
Once they’ve got your credit card details the multiple charges commence, many going on for years unnoticed. The majority of fraudulent charges I have no doubt are never noticed and will continue until such time, if and when they ever are. Even when they are noticed or flagged by financial institutions as fraudulent, they simply change to another of their hundreds of identities and payment portal names to continue the massive steal.
I believe this represents a large chunk of the $5 billion yearly credit card fraud committed in the US.
All numbers route to a menu name of AB billing support, and a 2 digit dynamic ivr, followed by the # key on every number.
Each of the numbers has an after hours menu which is also identical on every one of them.
They are all answered by subcontinent or Filipino scam call centers who are gutter level bottom feeders and provide zero assistance except to ensure the fraud continues regardless of refund or any compromise offered.
There is an unknown amount of call centers, but what is known due to the two time zones covered (us & UK), requires multiple countries answering the please explain calls from the tens of thousands of fraud victims.
I will have to make multiple posts due to the amount of data collected on almost every number.
Some numbers have up to 6 fake websites, all offering the best customer service and unparalleled 24/7 support, but never mention a product or service which they are charging for.
Some of them are fake dating and desperate websites which have zero real clients, all fake garbage.
Some are absolute filthy smut but there is still nothing behind the façade and the website title
I have not listed them but every website also has a UK +44 phone number associated with it
So this scam definitely crosses the pond
I have multiple investigations ongoing which involve tens of thousands of toll free numbers, which only the victims of the scams know are there. People have no idea the extent crime is going, unfortunately I do and it’s not a pretty picture of the landscape
The industry statistical facts, facts behind this huge fraud
- 60% of U.S. credit card holders have been victimized by fraud, and 45% have experienced fraud multiple times.
- 52 million Americans had fraudulent charges on their credit or debit cards last year, with unauthorized purchases exceeding $5 billion.
- The median fraudulent charge also jumped 26% in the last two years, rising from $79 to $100.
- Only 7% of fraudulent charges involved stolen or lost credit cards; the rest accessed personal data and account information remotely.
- Four of five cardholders admit to at least one risky credit card habit, making their accounts more vulnerable to fraud.
Nowadays, credit and debit card transactions are more common than cash in the United States. This gives digital criminals all the opportunity they could want to commit credit card fraud. And every year, they succeed at least some of the time with 52 million Americans experiencing credit card fraud last year.
But, when our digital safety experts looked into the causes and prevention methods Americans can use to avoid credit card fraud, we came up short. There weren’t many actual studies on this topic. So, our team surveyed nearly 1,000 Americans about their credit card experiences and habits. We used these results to pull insights into the habits Americans can change to improve their credit card security. Let’s dig in.
60 Percent of Credit Card Holders Have Experienced Fraud
Credit card security has become increasingly critical as the U.S. edges towards becoming a cashless economy. American consumers rely heavily on credit cards, supplying fraudsters with a steady stream of potential targets.
Four out of five American adults today possess at least one credit card, and we found that three of five cardholders have experienced unauthorized charges – an estimated 128 million victims. Seventy-five percent of those victims said they’ve had credit card fraud more than once.
This malware bytes report has no idea how widespread this fraud is, but is warning of its existence.

Hopefully with a lot of help from this community after the hundreds of hours I’ve put into this over the years these shitbag scum bastard leeches on decent society can be shut down on all their entities, websites and numbers.
On with the sad show of 951 numbers and approximately 2,500 fake websites (so far) listed in line following each number
There are around ten numbers with active websites but the numbers are no longer active at the time of this post. They can be changed to a new number at any time and why they are being listed
These numbers are followed with an asterisk *
Laying it out any other way would take the best part of a day, or possibly even longer. That aint going to happen in this lifetime.
Time to show a tiny percentage of the sheer volume of toll free fraud I know is out there stealing from all walks of life, sadly most can not afford basics, let alone being fleeced unknowingly
