I received a charge on my card from TLG company which I never authozie, they said I was signed up when I purchased airline tickets from Allegiant, I authorize Allegiant to charge my card to pay for my airfare not to subscribe me to other companies I dont know. I called this company and they didnt want to return my money is only $16.99 but if this is charge on a monthly basis during a year it could add up to a lot of money for something I dont use or know about. Now I have to call my bank to report this charges and which I never authorize it's just a waste of my time of being back and forther. I have never called this company until today because of the charges they made on my account...also never received any paper on the mail or e-mail saying i was enroll in this...

I want to prevent other people of going thru what i'm going right now, now i dont even feel online purchases with direct companies are secure since i dont even know if my information has been provided to other pple i dont even know about.

I book a stay at the travel lodge online. I got a pop up from Travelers Advantage for a great offer giving me the money back I spent on my reservation that booking, etc. of course I was skeptical about it, so I used my cell phone to call Travellodge (room I was staying at) and ask 1 million questions to be sure they were familiar with Travelers Advantage, they turned out legit. So I accepted, and made sure I copied the transcripts from our conversation, just incase there was something tricky in the deal.
After forever I got my rebate (for the room I booked that night). I ened up canceling my account, only to notice that i was still getting charged every month turns out GREAT FUN got ahold to my credit card information, and had been going to town. I called and called the number that was provided with the debits they were making, automated system, many prompts, and finally a hang up. I contacted my bank again and thought I was making sure they put a stop to this company STEALING my money. thing just told me to log on and go through my statements (which i never really look at, i often check my balance, which never seem obviously off, but was) THESE UNKNOWN PEOPLE ARE STILL DEBITING MY ACCOUNT, AND HAVE BEEN SINCE LATE 2007. I was furious, and I finally got travelers advantage the company I did sign up with the spill the beans. They both are two companies under one umberella. They gave me a number and I finally got a hold to someone, they gave me one or two ridiculous reasons why they were taking my money, not knowing that I copied the transcripts from my offer. They have promised to give me four months of my money back. Am I grateful? Absolutely. Is that enough? Not hardly. I want every red cent they STOLE, going back into 2007 and I want to make sure they dont steal from another person.

When I saw this $11.99 charge, I asked myself what the heck is this? I have never even heard of Great Fun before. So where do they come charging me for this fraudulant scam.

The same thing happened to me yesterday morning, then I checked from web site and found many people have been charged by this cheating activity. Then I called the 800 number told the person I never authorized to purchase any of your service or join your nembership, finally she gave me a cancellation number. But I will see, , , So, go ahead and call them.

Can anyone tell me how to stop the payments on my card. I have a prepaid card and only use it for bill payment. I would hate to put my hard earned money on my debit card and then later not have enough money to pay a bill. This company has been taking $14.99 off of my card from the looks of it every time I load it. I never talked to anyone cause every time I call the place is closed. Can they be reported to someone?

Thank god for on-line banking! I was able to see the illegal charge of $11.99 to my account. I never authorized this charge. I called the company several times no answer. So, I typed on the internet TLG Great Fun and I saw all these complaints and I realized it was a scam. I immediately called my bank to cancel my debit card. Hopefully, this will stop the
charges. I would like to thank those people who typed comments because it gave me the RED FLAG FOR SCAM. I just would like to know how they got my information? I felt extremely violated of my personal information was released somehow.

I had two charges to my Visa credit card yesterday from TLG Complete Homeowner for $12.99, and another from TLG Great Fun. I've never heard of these people. I called my bank & told them, and they provided the phone numbers to each place. I called TLG Comp. Homeowner & the lady was nice & said she was sorry & would take care of it. The Great Fun people were arrogant, evasive. I asked how they got my account #, they mentioned Classmates.com, which I do have a membership with. People watch out 4 Classmates as they will sell your info 2 third parties. After reading all these complaints about TLG (which seems to be the same company), I'm headed 2 the bank 2 see if I can have my account # changed. If anyone needs the phone # to these scamming people, TLG Great Fun is [protected]. TLG Complete Homeowner is [protected].

They charged our account as well. But we found the website and a phone number, also the web page for bbb of Ct, which is the state where this place is. We are currently contacting these items. If anyone needs these pages e-mailed to them contact me. This is very personnel!

Unbelievable! I was caught too when buying flight tickets but I never agreed to anything so I fear they may have passed on my details illegally!

FYI-By the way- when you phone make sure you ask for ALL monies back and they will ask you to fax- then they will refund it back to the credit card. Don't settle for the 2 months they offer back! I threatened to take it further if they didn't and they didn't cause a fuss.

I was charged $11.99 for services I was completely unaware of when I had made travel arrangements via travelocity. When I called the 800 number to complain, they allowed me to cancel and be reimbursed within the next billing cycle or two. We'll see if that transpires.

They Got Me to0, (TLG Great Fun) I Just found out about it today Thank God for Internet banking. They Got me for 35.99 just yesterday. I called the number that was included on the web sit, and was told that when I signed up for Columbia house DVDs and entered my credit card# a pop up came up and I must not of unchecked the box because that is how they got my info. They tried to blame me for not checking the box but after over 20 min. on the phone they said they would return the money with in 15 business day, I will only believe it when I see it. I emailed Columbia house and haven't heard back from them yet. I have had to close all my acct's and cancel my Card and had to spend all day getting to the bottom of this.
