This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

Very interesting - I just looked over the weekend - had similar charges. I called them and they were closed over the weekend. So not only did they charge this month - they have been charging my credit card since January. I don't know how I missed it. So I called my credit card company and it's not being charged as revolving which mean monthly someone is entering my information from TLG*GREATFUN. I called them this morning, pushed zero and demanded to speak to a manager. After getting a speal from the woman on the phone about what great offers they can provide to me - BLA BLA - THIS IS A SCAM! Management credited my Visa for the last four months and said I would have to contact Corporate to reverse the other charges. Call them now... Great Fun - [protected] - and their Corporate Fax number is [protected].

hi this is __ from great fun. thanks for your interest in our special offer which is now even better. how are you today? were acctually going to double your saving to $100 cash back. that means you can get $50 cash back towards todays reservation and another $50 cash back towards your future reservation, and that is just for trying great fun...blah blah blah...

sounds familiar? yes ofcoarse..i was working with affinion and we handled great fun, travelers advantage, buyers advantage and shoppers advantage. when you book a flight from allegiant, cheap-o air and one travel, and or car reservation from dollar rent a car, thrifty and super shuttle there will be a pop up saying you will recieve a rebate for $20-$50. same thing if you purchase something online from gogotech and tiger direct.

THis is a scam account. they trained us NOT to disclose that aside from the base presentation there will be and upsell presentaton that the customer will never notice! so technically the charge is $2 for the 2 membership. part of our script stated that "after the first 30days of service for just $1, its currently only $16.99 a month. but remeber if you decide to cancel after your 30 days trial, just call the toll free number and you will not owe another dime" ofcoarse there will be no another dime bec you were charge $16.99 already!

if you guys want to hunt and stop this scam account, you can coordinate with fbi and nbi (philippines) and let them go to
2nd floor 1880 bldg eastwood city libis
the name of the company who handles the affinion account is THE RESULTS COMPANIES. it is being operated by mike the bald english speaking guy together with adam

I too have been scammed. I'm a senior citizen & cannot afford to be taken advantage of. I did not sign up for anything & did not hear of this company till I received a packet telling me that I ordered it. And would be charged every month $16.99 . I can't have this .I need every penny I have.

I wish to file a claim against this company. I called them last month and requested that they cancel my subscription to their services. I was told that they would but it never happened. I have never had a use for their services such as saving at restaurants movie theaters etc. Because I don't eat out at restaurants or go to movie theaters. I have no use for their services.

Received a notice that Great Fun was increasing my membership unless I contacted them. I don't know what they are so I called the number but am told to call back. Checked Great Fun site and found that it's a credit card scam.

I contacted by credit card company but cannot do anything until I am charged; then I submit a dispute.

Law enforcement needs to find this outfit and shut it down. A lot of people are being charged who have never authorized it.

I noticed a $119.99 charge to my credit card. I immediately called my credit card co. I was told to contact the co. to find out what the charge was. I called TLG Great Fun and spoke to someone who asked me for personal info to access "my account." he could not find my "account" with my name and address and passed me along to a "supervisor" who actually asked me for my credit card number. I would not give it to her and she stated she could not help me then and that I could fax a copy of my bank statement showing to charge to them and gave me a fax number. I asked who they were and she said a discount co. affiliated with many other co.'s. I asked her who these co.'s were and she said Orbitz, Hotwire, and Cheaptickets. I have never used any of these co.'s. I used Travelocity and so I thought maybe since it was an online travel site, maybe it was through them, but their customer service dept. assured me they have no affiliation with TLG Great Fun.

Will someone please help me? Who are these people and how did they get my info?

This "company" are rip off artists. They've been illegally charging on my credit card for the past several months. The amount is the same every time - $11.99 and they have done it about 4 times. I've never ordered anything from this company ever and have no idea who they are. I see on line that there are millions of complaints from others who have had the exact same thing happen to them. Is anyone going to investigate this and get to the bottom of it!? How did they get our credit card details? Imagine how much money they are ripping off.
I hope this complaint goes to someone who is going to do something about this.

I have been charged $11.99 on my credit card by TLG GREAT FUN without my authorization. I do not know how this company got my card information. I called them on the phone, and i got an answer that I sign up online to be their member. I asked them what services they provide, but they could not provide any answer. I requested to discontinue the service immediately and to refund me all the money they have charged on my card. They agreed to my request. I am warning everyone to be alert about this kind of skam.

I travel 4 days a week for work and didn't realize I was being charged $11.99 per month since November 2007 on a credit card that I have not been using as I am paying it off. My fault for not looking at the charges but I never authorized this charge. I payed off the total due and low and behold a charge is on my bill for $11.99. Not only that but my credit card company charged me a late fee because of this charge! I called my credit card company and all they could tell me is that I've been charged since 11/07. I didn't even know the name of the company as it comes up on the bill as follows; TLG*GREATFN555... CT. I am assuming the state is Connecticut because of the CT at the end of the charge on the card.

It is in dispute with my credit card company and they are calling this bogus company to get my money back.

This online company is charging my master card $12.99 EVERY month for something that I didn't authorize. They said they were affiliated with shoebuy.com and that this was some kind of rebate that THEY had signed me up for. They have a web site but you hit buttons and nothing happens. This is a foreign company using some German verbiage on their web page. I called the toll free phone number on my credit card statement. for TLG great fun and a women answered the phone with hello. She then explained the rebate and when I complained she put me on hold for 20 minutes.

An unauthorized charge appeared on my credit card bill from Great Fun. I called customer service and was told that it was been removed-----but what a hassle! According to complaints read on this website, it seems to be a common occurrence with this company. Don't even click on their website or you might be charged.

I saw a charge for $12.99 on my checking account and when I called Great Fun about it, they said that since I purchased something from MilesKimball.com I became a member of Great Fun...the sales rep said that I had received a $20 check from them (FALSE) and that I would save lots of money on shopping, dining and travel using the card. When you go to the Great Fun website, there is no way to just view the options they offer - you have to plug in your credit card number - FURTHERING THE SCAM! This is amazing to me. How do people dream up this stuff? I will never shop at MilesKimball.com again.

Oh, I supposedly had them "cancel my membership" (although I never authorized a membership in the first place, today. We'll see if that really happens.

You will be getting a letter from my attorney, you said you were refunding my money and then you turned around and stole more money from me. Cancel my card and account with you. I never authorized you to take money from me in the first place. I would like to know how you got my information. The attorney will contact you.

We did agree to have sign up for the great fun package due to we would get a rebate of $30.00 for our room stay. We could cancel within 30 days if we choose to not keep the package and we would not be charged but would still receive the rebate. Well we cancelled with in 2 weeks of getting the information, never received the rebate and were charged on our credit card. I will never take another offer from any hotel ever again!

I just noticed I was charged 12.99 for TLG Great Fun. I have NO IDEA why or how this got on my card, but you better believe I'm gonna do something about it. Unfortunately, it's New Years Day and I'll likely get no help from them. I will dispute it through my bank.

I HAVE RECEIVED LOTS OF FUN CALLS ABOUT THIS COMPANY... LET ME REPEAT MY PREVIOUS POST..
THE NUMBER POSTED ON THIS SITE IS NOT.., I REPEAT NOT TLG GREAT FUN'S NUMBER.. IT WAS AN ERROR AND MY NUMBER WAS POSTED BY MISTAKE...
YOU CAN FIND THE COMPANIES NUMBER ON YOUR STATEMENT, OR CALL YOU BANK AND GET IT. IT BEGINS WITH AN 800 OR 888 NOT 316. THAT IS MY PERSONAL HOME NUMBER.. DUE TO HEALTH ISSUES WITH MY PARENTS I AM UNABLE TO CHANGE THE NUMBER...

HOW I HANDLED TLG WAS AS FOLLOWED..
1) find the number on your statement.. the following is the actual print on my statement :06/12 MC-TLG*GREATFN27142407MAY [protected] CT $12.99 . as you can see the phone number follows as [protected].
2) CALL YOUR BANK AND REPORT FRUADULENT CHARGES, SHOULD REVERSE THE CHARGES
3) CALL TLG @ [protected] AND CANCEL YOUR ACCOUNT.
4) REPORT THE COMPANY TO CONSUMER AFFAIRS

IF YOU SIGN UP FOR ANYTHING LIKE CLASSMATES.COM, REUNION.COM OR ANY OTHER FREE SITE ONLINE ALWAYS READ THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE WHERE IT IS ASKING YOU TO CHECK /UNCHECK A BOX.
THIS IS WHERE TLG COMES INTO EFFECT. IN FINE PRINT IT STATES THAT YOU AGREE TO RECEIVE THIER SERVICES..
AND YOU GET NOTHING. SO DONT SIGN UP FOR ANY PREIUM OR GOLD MEMBERSHIPS ONLINE UNLESS YOU READ THE FINE PRINT ON THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE..

YOU WILL BE SIGNING UP FOR MEMBERSHIP ALSO WITH THIS TLG GREAT FUN, AND PAYING THEM FOR NOTHING.

WHEN YOU CALL THEM THEY WILL TELL YOU THEY SENT YOU A MEMBERSHIP PACKAGE... BE FIRM WITH THME AND THREATEN THEM WITH A LAWSUIT AND THE WILL END YOUR MEMBERSHIP.

BUT BE VERY CAREFUL TO KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR STATEMENT BECAUSE THEY ARE KNOWN TO SWITCH THEIR NAME AND CONTINUE TO DEDUCT FROM YOUR ACCOUNT.

OTHER COMPANIES TO WATCH FOR ARE CLKANK.COM AND LVENT1.COM HAVE NO IDEA WHO THESE PEOPLE ARE BUT THE HAVE TAKEN FROM MY ACCOUNT TOO.

THEIR NUMBERS ARE LVENT1.COM [protected] KN $39.[protected],
CLKBANK*COM KH0NK0PD [protected] ID $29.[protected]

JUST BE CAREFUL READ EVERYTHING BEFORE SUBMITTING.

AND PLEASE DO NOT CALL THE 316 NUMBER... THANK YOU

I HOPE THIS HELPED
