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].

Also same problem. I've been hit with 3 months of $10.99 charges for TLG*GREATFN (Great Fun). I believe the source is Orbitz partners with. I booked a flight in March and again in July. In July I noticed, at the end of the flight booking process, there's an Orbitz screen asking if you want 'Cash Back'. If you say 'yes', apparently, they sign you up for the $131.88 per year 'service' that involves discounts on services/merchandise that you need to access their website for, but without any explanation that that's what they are doing. I think this is how I got nailed in March.

I've sent them a cancellation letter July 11 via US mail, 3 follow up emails, disputed the 3 transactions with my credit card bank, but still received the last charge yesterday. What bothers me also is that I see complaints like this going back several years and, although some states have taken action, these people are still in business.

I also agree on this, great fun has charged my account 11.99 and now we have to go through our checking account and see if they have charged anything else to our account. I don't even know where they got our card information from.

I've been getting scammed by them for a year. I had no idea they were taking out 9.99 every month (because I don't balance my checkbook well at all). I called them up a month ago to cancel whatever it was that they had imposed on me. They gave me a "cancellation number"; I asked what I needed it for since my account is closed now, and wanted to make sure I won't need to call them up again and tell them that I canceled my account (after they start it back up for no reason or something) and prove it with a number they gave, but the guy said they don't do things like that. Well today guess what I go in the mail? I got a free check from them saying "since you're a valued member, here is a check for 9.25. When you cash it, you will automatically be a member of ID secure, and you will be billed 119.99 annually."

I'm just astonished that they can get away with what they're doing legally. Has anyone reported them to the better business beuro? Are there any lawsuits against them?

My husband called me this morning asking if I purchased anything online and my reply back was no... We researched this company because we were charged $11.99 twice on our account. Hopefully our bank will credit us back... Because it seems as though this company will not... What a scam!

The same thing happened to me. I called the company, they said they'd refund the charges of the last several months. They didn't. I blocked the company by contacting my credit card company, at least, but I'm being charged 19% interest until I pay off the dirtbikes purchased on the card (it's a honda credit card, and that's all I've ever used it for). We might be able to figure out how the card numbers are obtained by finding out what we all have in common, or what several of us do. If you have the problem though, I'd recommend calling the company and then blocking them from your credit card, even if they say they'll stop.

This is one of the most annoying and frustrating scams I've seen in a while. We must stop this company.

I got two charges to my account each for $11.99. One from TLG*GGREATFN [protected] and the other TLG*COMPHM [protected]. My bank will credit it, but does anyone know the source of the stolen CC#? Any ideas?

I got charged too and called the company but they still didn't give me my refund back. This is insane! Total ripoff!

Glad to see I am not the only one and now I know why I was charged for something I had no knowledge of and most importantly, NEVER authorized. Scam or no scam, these people will be sued for unauthorized charge of my credit card. These companies have to be stopped or this will continue to happen to other unsuspecting victims. I for one am the wrong person to do this to and will not tolerate it. I work too hard for my money for people like this to come and try to steal it away from me...

Had the same experience with TLG*Great Fun [protected] and also at TLG*Comp Home [protected]). Charges were canceled.
