People do notice, but they notice in small enough numbers to make it worth the criminals to continue doing it. It's sort of like spam: if less than 0.1% of people reply to spam email, it's a successful campaign.
The problem is that the scammer either controls or is the credit card processor. I'm not sure if credit card processors are multi-level, that is, if they go through another clearing level before it hits the banks, but I think that's the place to start. De-frock the credit card processor, or force them at their level to de-frock the scammer, and it will at least force the scammer to work harder and will stop it for a while.
