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:

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://whocallsme.com/Phone-Number.aspx/(905) 555-1212

Could 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,

This is a scam and Bell seems to think they can collect this money for the scammers.  I hope everyone complains to Bell and the Crtc to have this stopped.

Just recieved a phone bill from bell canada It has charges on it for 10 DIR_ASSISTANCE calls 3.99 each to 10 different numbers in the US. None of which are familiar too me. All calls were billed Dec 22 from  07:09 AM to 07:50 AM.Bell does the collecting for Triton Global Dir-Assist?? I have not made any of these calls !!!Talked to Bell REP who says her hands are tied. Also I must have made the calls since they were all verified By Triton. Talked again with a Bell Supervisor this morning and he reversed the charges back to Triton. I went online to check into Triton and looked up justanswers.com a group of Lawyers who give advise on Canadian Law and go by the name Copperlaw and here I will paste in their reply. Copperlaw says:     Triton is a scam phone company that operates out of Calgary Alberta. They buy up toll free numbers, often similar to real corporate numbers (such as 1-800 as opposed to 1-888) and then leave a recording there directing you to call their new number, which generally carries a charge between $2 and $7.       They really offer no service, merely trick people into paying their fees, which are often not disputed over a single $4 charge. Your case is different       Fastrack Global is another similar company but is a shell company name for Triton Global Communications. Triton is apparently run by a guy named Guy Fietz in Calgary, Alberta. You can reach him at (403) 257-7090, go to the directory, dial 343 to reach him.   If you Google Triton or Fastrack, you'll see many complaints and articles about them  You should contact a supervisor and also speak with Bell's fraud department. You may also wish to contact the CRTC with regard to the operations of Triton.I registered a complaint with the CRTC Last night.Leo
