They called twice and I didn't pick up. Third time they left a message and said it was Hyundai inviting me to a spring event. Ya right... grrrr.

I work for a telcom agency in billing, and we have seen this as well. I can't say whether it is a legit company or not, but I can say that they send the invoice to your provider (Bell, for instance), and Bell is legally obligated to add it to your bill as per CRTC rules. As per those same rules when you callin to get it removed, they are supposed to defend these charges as if they are their own. This is to protect legit long distance rebillers (Like Yak and Sears) who do the same thing when you use their service. But again, under those same laws, after defending and determining they are not legit for that bill, your provider is supposed to be able to deny the call back to the company, in this case Levendo. They can then come after you for the charges, but they are removed from your provider bill.My advice is call in and repeatedly deny the call. The agent you speak with is only doing their job in fighting it, but they will relent. If it shows up again, over another bill or multiple usage, again by CRTC rules, the provider can't deny the call. If that ends up being the case, call the RCMP.

It showed: Usage - Itemized callsMon 15 Nov Directory Assistance LEVENDO   ON (905) 555-1212   18:07   1.0   8E   4.51Mon 15 Nov Directory Assistance LEVENDO   ON (905) 555-1212   18:09   1.0   8E   4.51Total 9.02 which billed to me.  I called Bell.  He asked whether any member in my house made such calls.  Finally Bell credited back to my account.  It was so ridiculous.  We don't even know there is a such service exist.  It just an ripped off.

An organization that I do the books for was just charged $4.51 3 times within 3 minutes on May 2nd for calls to (905) 555-1212 listed under Fastrack Global on their Bell phone bill...I am on the phone with Bell and they are working on removing these charges.  I am surprised that Bell is not looking into this more!

I did! it showed i called twice within 2 miutes. I was charged $4.51 per minute twice.

I just sent this to the CRTC's complaint service on the net at...http://www.crtc.gc.ca/rapidsccm/Register.asp?lang=Emy message said....Maybe you are already aware of complaints regarding a company called Levendo. We received a $4.51 charge on our Bell home phone bill for directory service that we never placed? The number shows up as (905) 555-1212/">(905) 555-1212.Bell credited the charge and also said that we may be billed directly by Fastrack Global Billing for the charge. I'm assuming they handle the billing for this Levendo company:http://www.fastracknetworks.com/After researching Levendo on the net, this appears to be a widespread scam as you can see by discussion groups such as these, all usually with 555-1212 but with various area codes:http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-(519) 555-1212http://whocallsme.com/Phone-Number.aspx/(905) 555-1212Could you please investigate this matter further as I suspect there are many people who never even noticed the charges and paid it unknowingly.Appreciate the assistance,ScottCaller: LevendoReply !
