Had a suspicious charge for $81.95 on 7-5-10, by Levant Oil in Maine, to my debit account that my credit union flagged... this is a company that I've NEVER done business with & they did not have permission to charge my account!
Credit union hunted down the company's contact info, so I called to see if this was a mistake or what. Was pretty suspicious when the person answering the phone for this "business" answered with an annoyed sounding "WHAT?!" I explained that an unauthorized charge from Levant was attempted on my debit card & he mumbled, "yeah there was something all messed up with that charge..." I again told him it was unauthorized & said if it isn't dropped my credit union will pursue legal action, to which he told me, "big f***'n deal" & he started asking me where I was from, what my name was, etc... At that time I hung up. He called back 8 times that night & texted, "Have the police call me" the next day.
It's not a huge amount of money, but my CU is pursuing fraud charges against this place & turns out the parent company is based out of Lebanon, as in the terrorist habouring country!!! This has been a real hassle to deal with, had to spend a bunch of time both on the phone & at the CU dealing with this and had to get a new debit card issued. Figured it was worth a heads up since this place's front is car products (fuel, oil, etc..) BTW, company's info is listed as:
Levant Oil Incorporated
(207) 884-6981
432 Pine Tree Rd, Levant, ME 04456
Hope no one else has to deal with these thieves!!!
