Watch out for recurring charges that list a mysterious "LOC Citizens" on your credit card statement. These entries often tie to a non‑working phone number (401‑282‑5259) and show up under vague merchant categories like financial services or mortgage. The pattern suggests an unauthorized subscription or a hidden fee tied to home‑security providers such as Vivint. If you spot this, contact your card issuer immediately, dispute the transaction, and request a new card. Keep a log of the dates, amounts, and any merchant descriptors. Regularly audit statements, and consider setting up alerts for any new recurring debits. Staying proactive can stop further loss.
Regarding my monthly payment of $59.75, the phone number (401)282-5259 was listed as contact info for Loc Citizens, and i must admit i have vivint like alot of other peoples.
Taking legal action against this scammer is necessary, but how do we track them down?
I noticed a charge of $66.67 on my credit card statement from LOC CITIZENS, but the provided phone number 401 282 5259 is not active
I discovered that Vivint is not a local citizen and had charged me $66.67, which I believe is a fraudulent transaction, prompting me to cancel my credit card and obtain a new one.
It appears that this number is associated with a loan from Citizens, which is the primary loan company used by VIVINT home security, and is likely linked to a recent loan application made through VIVINT or another company.
Its pretty obviuous that this person is just a shill, why else would they look up a known phone number with no logical reason to do so
Fortunately, this experience with Vivant turned out to be legitimate, despite initial concerns that it might be a scam.
I noticed a charge of $66.67 on my statement, which apparantly someone else also recived on the same day, i'm disputing it but it's a hassle

Do peoples usualy look up phone numbers without a reason?
As a long-time Vivint customer, I recently discovered a fraudulent charge on my account that started last December. I'm concerned about the security of my account.
A suspicious transaction labeled similarly to "LOC CITIZENS 401-2825259 CT" appeared on one of my VISA statements, amounting to $63.36, and has been a recurring monthly charge since December 16th. Unfortunately, I only recently discovered this, and upon calling the number, I received a 'not in service' message. It is essential to meticulously review all credit statements each month. Now, I must report this fraudulent activity to my company, which has resulted in over $250 in losses.
The claim that a large company has a non-functional phone number seems dubious and poorly fabricated, reminiscent of low-quality shilling attempts.
During November, December, and January, I experienced the same issue, with a total of 59.52 instances, but then it stopped in February.
It seem like LOC Citizens One Loan are the ones who charge for the equipment use of VIVINT home security, almost gave me a heart attack but thats around the time we started using their service
Unauthorized credit card charges of $66.67 were made by a company listed as Mortgage Company Financial Institute, with the charges being made without any prior contact, and my bank is currently investigating and will be issuing a new card
Rather than attempting to recover lost funds from a scammer, it is wiser to report the fraudulent transaction directly to the credit card company.
This is a scam, they charged our credit card without autorization, and when i try to call this number it dont go thru
