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.

my mom also got this also, they told her that someone called directry assistance for this. she never did

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 calls
Mon 15 Nov Directory Assistance LEVENDO   ON (905) 555-1212   18:07   1.0   8E   4.51
Mon 15 Nov Directory Assistance LEVENDO   ON (905) 555-1212   18:09   1.0   8E   4.51

Total 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.

I also got billed for 3 calls for $3.99 per call.  When I called Bell about this, I was told they would remove it from my bill; but, I might get a bill from Fastrack.  I am not paying this amount and I do not know why Bell does not look into the matter.   Too many people have been scammed.

I have sent one as well...............no reply yet.....maybe RCMP should be involved

This is a very complicated and elaborate scam that I'm incapable (so far) of solving.

Just spent half an hour on the phone with Bell Canada.  Told them I was billed $4.51 from a "customer dialed" (me) call to Directory Assistance LEVENDO (ON (905) 555-1212) on Nov. 25, 2010 and that I had made no such call.  This was AFTER I had seen this site and confirmed to myself that this was indeed some kind of scam.

At first, the girl from Bell insisted the call was made from my phone and suggested that a "visitor" to my home did it.  I tried to tell her about this site and that I was not the only one complaining about this number.  She then looked up the number on 411.Ca and said it was a legitimate company.  I asked to speak to her supervisor and she put me on hold for 20 minutes.

She came back, told me that they would refund me the $4.51 on my next bill, but that if it happens again, I will be charged.  I was also told that this call didn't go through Bell, but through another provider called Fast Track Global and their number 1-+1 866-340-4990.  She said that Bell reimburses Fast Track for all charges going through them.

I checked out Fast Track Global and came up with this:

I also Googled 1-+1 866-340-4990 and got a call center called Express Connect.

Tried phoning the above number, but it was after 5 p.m. and got voice mail, told to leave my name and number.  I did not, but plan to phone them back on Monday.

I have no idea how this scam works and just hope it doesn't happen again.  If anyone can figure this out, please post it here.
