PROVIDENCE – A Middletown insurance agent and agency owner was charged with defrauding approximately $1.3 million from customers, insurance companies and finance companies in U.S. District Court in Providence Wednesday.
Randall N. Levesque, owner of Equine Insurance Services LLC and Randall Levesque Agency, was federally charged with wire fraud and aggravated identity theft. Federal prosecutors allege that Levesque double-billed customers when billing their credit cards for premiums due on policies – sometimes forging customers’ signatures. It was also alleged that Levesque would, at times, finance premiums and receive funds on behalf of customers without the customers’ consent or knowledge and submitted financing agreements to finance companies for fictitious customers for whom there were no policies.

Prosecutors also alleged that Levesque collected, but did not remit insurance companies more than $800,000 in premiums, fraudulently obtained more than $500,000 in financial premiums from at least two financial companies and charged customers $80,000 for premiums that he failed to provide to insurance companies.
