Complaint Rating:

As a Quicken user, I recognized this bogus charge on its second appearance. It appeared on my charged card as TLG*GREATFN55506578AUG. Google search revealed a vast number of complaints against this company. I called mastercard and they immediately recognized the scam. They advised me to call 1-800-290-8603, Great Fun's office number, and protest the charges as unauthorized. Mastercard's security said that I should have no trouble getting the credits issued for the two months activity. TLG stands for Trilegiant and their strategy appears to be to piggyback transparently onto some other purchase and then assess a small enough monthly fee that a busy person won't notice the unauthorized charge! Despicable.

I am grateful to this site for helping me instantly recognize the scam as a scam.
