Their address is supposedly Nicosia, Cypress. Transferring the money out of the country, and in particular, through Cypress, has been used by a number of other cramming scams to put barriers in the way of people trying to cancel, notably a phony "medical discount" scam a few years back. Leaving off a digit in the phone number on your statement is also consistent with this type of "innocent" interference with cancellation attempts.
Dispute fraudulent charges through your bank, and close the account or block the card number due to fraud, to prevent additional fraudulent charges. Your bank can reverse the charges if you dispute promptly. Follow up with a written dispute or fraud affidavit to preserve your FRB Reg. E or FCBA dispute rights.
Be sure to have your bank block the card number or close the account, since such scams often attempt to cram charges under different names, or sometimes "cancel", then start charging again months later, trying to slip more charges through.
You should also report this to FTC, your state Attorney General, and at www.ic3.gov.
