TLG again charge me $119 on 12/24/07. I paid them $119 last year because the charge was buried in a large number of charges during Christmas time. I believe this charge was generated by me cashing a $10 check sent by the credit card company as a "reward". I was tricked by the small print. This year, they simply repeat the charge without any notification (they said renewal was sent by me). Comsumer Attorney, please do something about this.

Hello-I have been charged by this fraudelent company too for 6 months or more for $9.99 until I realized. I know why I didn't think about it before. I called credit card company and they cancel the card and going to resend a new one and I have to go through the process of claiming dispute etc etc for no fault of my mine other than not noticing the transactions for 6 months in a row. I don't understand why credit card companies cannot do anything about it and stop these fraudelent companies from charing the credit card. I hope that I can get the money back from either the credit card company or from the TLG Great Fun. I also did a google search on this name and found so many customers have been affected by it.

This company has also charged my card for $36. I do not buy tickets online cuz I never go anywhere. I am pissed. There is a lawsuit that has been filed on this cmpany. You can find the info at www.girardgibbs.com
This company has sent me into insufficient funding. I am livid. Someone above said that there must be a common ground between us, but I do not purchase anything online. I dont even have alot of oney to do stuf like that. So, somehow they are just getting info like it is candy.

I have the same problem and don't know how this company stole my credit card number!! I called them by 800-290-8603(printed on my bills), it only has voice mail asking your name and zip code, pretending to direct you to someone, but at the end, the voice was saying there's no such no exist and asking you hang up!!! TGLGreatfun is trash!!!

I, too, victim of this scam. Feel very foolish, as I did not question it until the 4th charge appeared?!? Credit card company could only credit the last charge as they had already paid the first 3. I did trying calling TLG GREAT FUN 800/290-8603 but always get disconnected before recordings put me through??? So I am out $36.00... BUT what really concerns me is how they heck did they get my credit card number in the first place? I have never used ORBITZ.

I, too, have become a victim of this scam? I just noticed yesterday the charge from TLG GREATFUN 800-290-8603. I have four months worth of charges @ $11.99/month. Visa was only able to credit the last charge to me as they (visa) had already paid the previous 3 months. So looks like I am out $36.00. When I call the Great Fun # I get disconnected every time as the recording says it will put me through. I have no clue how they got my credit card #, but I will of course go through my billing much more closely from now on. I am a widow on a very fixed income and certainly don't need fraud like this happening.

I was billed $60.00 for absolutelty nothing.. I have no idea who this company is and I cannot get an answer back from anyone.. can someone out there help? Thanks!!!

This type of charge will sneak up on you as it did me. Supposedly I'll get my money back in 10-15 business days I clicked on an offer that seemed legit. That apparently some companies subscribe to in my case I was offered $10 which would have amounted to a free video. Somehow I must have clicked on yes to what seemed to be and endless number of pop-ups. Be careful that you understand the responses. I was just trying to get out of "endless "pop-ups.

I just found a 12.99 charge on my account today and freaked out and canceled my cards. I was curious so I googled the info on my online statement. I now know the damage this stupid ass company has caused to all of you. I have informed my bank, the BBB, and http://www.girardgibbs.com/trilegiant.html. I highly recommend everyone do the same! Let's stop this evil company!!

I had been charged $11.99 for four months. They said it was through Priceline.com. I called them for the second time and spoke to a supervisor named Thomas New after speaking to an operator. He was very polite and said he would have all the charges removed within 10-15 days. We'll see and I will repost if it happens. I called 800 290-8603. I told them I have filled out the paperwork on the class action suit and wanted all charges removed immmediatly. You MUST keep the cancellation number they give you.

I too was charged by these people without authorization. I called them and was told that the account would be closed and the fee rebated. Two days later it had not been rebated, but put through. I called them again and was refused to talk to the supervisor I had talked to, two days before. They said the account had been closed, but no rebate had been authorized, A FLAT OUT LIE!. I have made a complaint with the fraud department of the U.S. Attorney. This is something that has to be done by more people!

Orbitz also provided my information to this company to charge my card without permission. They have changed their name to Great Fund and I spoke to a call center outside the US. Thanks for letting me know not to ever use orbitz again. Is there a class action lawsuit pending?

I just noticed a fee of $35.99 on my bank statement from TLG*GREAT FUN. I did not authorize this transaction and am having to go through my dispute team at my bank to have these charges reversed. I called the 1-800 number that my bank provided and never got an answer. It is a weekday and normal business hours. I was on hold for over an hour. I am grateful that I bank with a bank that immediately credited my charges and is looking into the matter. I had never heard of this before now. The ONLY thing I have purchased online recently was FILING MY TAXES ON LINE (EFILE). They ask for my information at the end to deposit my refund. Nothing is safe these days.

I am on the phone, on hold with these bozo's now....I have a girl here telling me that I checked a box on the Columbia House website while making a purchase that gave me membership to their club free for 30 days. That was back on Nov. 21, 2007...they have waited long enough for me to either forget about what I have done, or question whether I have done this or not inthe first place as it is February 5, 2008...way past the free 30 days. You would think that these people would get the hint that their service is in violation of the law.

I have been on hold for about 10 minutes.

Okay, she just came back on with a confirmation number that my membership has been cancelled and that my card will be refunded within 10 working days.

My next move is to contact Columbia House and tell them of this scam. Also I am contacting my attorney and forwarding him the recording of the call. Oh yeah, did I fail to mention that when she came on the line, I informed her that this conversation was being recorded? She continued to talk anyway, which is considered consent. We'll see what happens and I will be watching my credit card statement closely.

This company, for all of you out there that don't know...sells discounts for dining, hotels, theme parks, etc. If you see this box labelled Great Fun, run the other way, do not make that checkmark as I didn't give them my credit card information directly...I gave it to Columbia House who shared the information with them....SCAM

Thank you for listening.

I also found charges from this company on my card and was surprised since I have not received anything from them and hardly remembered registering with them. In fact for those who use BMG Club Services (CDS) sometimes you're offered great savings (if I remeber correctly some free coupon on future CDs) with this company and once you pass all the registration stages you get nothing and quickly forget about it.

However if you read carefully e-mail from TLG Great Fun which they send after registration it's said that they will start charging you with $11.99 regardless after one month trial period is over. They have access to your card through BMG and you gave them such permission yourself.

I blocked the card and ask for refund but frankly speaking do not expect much since they've been charging me for past 6 months and I did not spotted it.

Be aware when you registered with affiliates and read the terms in advance.

I checked my account this mornig and found a charge of 15.99 by this Great Fun company. I had no clue where the charges came from. I'm going to contact my credit card companies and bank today. This is crazy. I have never heard of this company and have never purchased items from them. Can they get by with this? I guess I'll contact the AG's office and BBB as well.

Same thing happened to me. Looked at my transactions on-line and saw a charge for $119.00 from TLG Great Fun. Contacted this scamming company and told them to remove this from my credit card. Then the lady on the phone still tries a sales pitch on me!!! I am certainly not going to conduct business with some shady company that made an unauthorized charge to my credit card. After telling this sales lady "NO" several times and demanding my money back, she tries a sales pitch again and tells me that they will send my membership info to me in the mail! I never signed up to be a member and don't want any of their info and now I am a little concerned that they have my mailing address and credit card info. Finally I get a cancellation number from this sales lady and she then tells me that it will be 10-15 days before I recieve my refund. I don't know how a company like this is even allowed to operate. I never even heard of this company until I saw this charge on my credit card statements. Never signed up for their membership and certainly never gave them, or anyone associated with them my credit card info or mailing info, yet they seem to know it all. I hope that I recieve my refund and nothing further happens related to this shady company.
If anyone has recieved their refund or had further problems with this shady outfit after recieving a cancellation number please let me know and let me know if there is a way to expose this company for what it is.

I got hit too with a 12.99 charge on my bank card TLG*GREATFUN. I believe mine was initiated through an online bill payment service I recently signed up for. How lame is that?. Just one of those "click through" situations and BAM!!! I get charged for something I don't want and certainly have no need for at all. Word to the wise, make sure you uncheck the check boxes for offers you don't want. And read the description carefully... sometimes they word it backward so you think you are declining the offer, but you are really accepting it. I've caught myself on a few of those situations thankfully.

I just called TLG Great Fun, and it looks like they are getting people through BMG music..., good thing i caught these people early.
