(905) 555-1212

This number has been calling me every week day it is driving me nuts! I don't answer numbers i don't know and this just confirms why i don't do it especially if it is a scam!!!

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 a***n, 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 a***n, over another bill or multiple usage, a***n by CRTC rules, the provider can't deny the call. If that ends up being the case, call the RCMP.

i was told   i was told...

Don't waste your time with that!

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

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.Bell credited the charge and also said that we may be billed directly by Fastrack Global Billing for the charge. I'm****uming they handle the billing for this Levendo company:http://www.fastracknetworks.com/After resear****g 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/9055551212Could 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****istance,ScottCaller: LevendoReply !

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

Hi: I was scammed as well for 2 calls for a total of 9.00--I called Bell Laval office and they told me about this provider--then they put me through  the Philippines-home service. I was told that they would reverse the charges-they would look into it and call the company and if I did make the calls from my house which i did not--i would have to pay the charges. I said I would not and then that person lost patience with me. I asked how a different company could apply charges on my bell bill---no answer--frustration on the other side. Also I was overcharges 100.00 for a deactivation of my bell internet which I never asked for--this was reversed after some time. Am fed up of spending 2 hours globe trotting to make sure that I am not overcharged. I will contact the CRTC and Better Business Bureau. The number began 514--which is a montreal code--555-1212 1 day and another 514-1213 another.

I have been billed $3.99 for a 4.00 minute call at 12:12 pm on December 10 2010.  My wife and I were 5 pin Bowling from 11am to 2.30 pm ,as we do every Friday.  There was no-one home to use the phone.  How did this charge come about?  It is from LEVENDO  at 403 555-1212

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

It showed: Usage - Itemized callsMon 15 Nov Directory****istance LEVENDO   ON 905 555 1212   18:07   1.0   8E   4.51Mon 15 Nov Directory****istance 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.

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 Ca***a.  Told them I was billed $4.51 from a "customer dialed" (me) call to Directory****istance 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 a***n, 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 1-866-340-4990.  She said that Bell reimburses Fast Track for all charges going through them.I checked out Fast Track Global and came up with this:http://www.callcen****irectory.net/call-cente ... lobal-2220.htmlI also Googled 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 a***n.  If anyone can figure this out, please post it here.

I have a same problem.  It was ridiculous & hassle.  Bell tried to get this from the customer who forgot to call Bell Billing Dept.  Bell should not bill me on so****ings that I did not use.

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.

the bill from Bell showed i called Directory****istance LEVENDO twice in two minutes, each$4.51. Who also got calls from this LEVENDO?
