Unwelcome Phone Calls from 888-729-1134?

Browsing through the various websites dedicated to fighting unwelcome telemarketing calls, I found complaints regarding the number 888-729-1134. The complaints seem to be about unauthorized charges on credit cards, which is pretty serious.

The number of reports on this number on 800notes, everycall, CallerFinder, PhoneOwner, and PostCallNotes got me curious about who these people are. So, I did a search at TollFreeNumbers to see what I could find out about these people and this is what I found:
