Great Fun scam

Out of the blue I got an email from greatfunsite saying that I had signed up for their services. I knew that I hadn't signed up for anything like this, so I called the 800 number and canceled my membership. While I was on the phone with them I asked how they got my information. They said they got the info from classmates.com, which is surprising considering I don't have a membership with classmates. I'm still not sure how they got my personal information, but hopefully there won't be any problems with my cancellation. It's unnerving that they can mine your information from other companies and sign you up for a subscription service without your knowledge.

My daughter used in coupon for $20 and we were charged monthly $16.99 by greatfun without our knowledge. The charges started in Nov 2017 till now in dec 2018. Watch out when using online coupon! Greatfunsite.combis a scam. Wonder how I report this consumer fraud? Greatfun refused to refund whole 17 months, only refund 4 months.

I just noticed a charge with a transaction date of 11/29/08 which just posted to my account yesterday, 5/1/09. I have no idea who TGL Great Fun is and have certainly never authorized them to charge my account, but I will not rest until they are called on the carpet. I intend to bring legal action against them, notify the BBB and anything else my attorney can advise. It is beyond me that my credit card company didn't question a transaction dated so far back and was only recently posted. TGL has what is coming to them from me.

Great Fun unauthorized credit card charges!

I was able to contact tlg everyday for the unauthorized credit card charges of $11.99 and was able to stop the charges with last month charge credited. Discovered tlg everyday been charging me since 5/7/07. Now I have to submit a letter to recoup charges. The employee Nicole did not want to talk to me kept on telling me about the service and kept telling me they will send a membership package that i never received. Have to be very blut with these people I have false hopes on recouping the charges but in process of doing so. Tlg everyday knows that they are in the wrong and should be able to recoup charges without sending a letter. Company should not be doing business in this country and need to be investigated by the proper authorities.

Great Fun can't get my name removed

I have NO IDEA how these people got my name etc., but when they contacted me to say that their rate was going up, I insisted they remove my name and cancel any subscription that they said I had. A couple of months later, I received a renewal card for Great Fun. I don't want this product/service and have told them so. Unfortunately, they continue to "automatically" charge my credit card. I see I'm not the only one having problems communicating with this company.

I simply disagree. A lot of people are simply availing of offers online
and just giving their info without reading or analyzing the offers or maybe getting the rebate offers then simply denying or just making
the action by mistake.

Great Fun fraud charges!

In October 2006 my mother passed away suddenly, so I took over handling my father's bills. We paid off all his credit cards and put them away nothing has been charged on them since that time. Yesterday I got a statement from his Union Plus card showing a $99.99 charge to TLG Great Fun. I knew this was not his charge he is almost 80 years old and can barely walk. We called HSBC (Household Bank) that issued the Union Plus card and ask that this be investigated. They informed us we needed to call TLG Great Fun to discuss this charge and request a credit. My father called and they are associated with HOUSEHOLD BANK, HSBC, DIRECT REWARDS DISCOVER, ETC. Any card issued through HSBC, which is interesting since I have at least 4 cards issued to me from that bank. They send out checks which if cashed sign you up for this TLG Great Fun. Now although we have received these checks they have always been tore in half and throw out, they seem to take it upon there selves to add it to some cards anyway. As a group we should find out what can be done to stop this illegal scam and like other banks make HSBC pay everyone back.

Great Fun credit card billed after canceling!

I spent 3 hours going round after round with these jerks last week trying to get a "membership" canceled and my credit card credited. I had been paying for the "service" for 4 months. I didn't notice the charges until I received my March CC statement. This company is a band of out-and-out thieves and they don't care. But after all the grief, aggravation, being hung up on and cut off, they had the audacity to send me a membership card and and member number. You have to read ALL the fine print on the back to find out it's a trial membership for 30 days and if I don't cancel during the 30-day trial period, my CC will be billed monthly. Had I not gone through all I did last week and the, GREAT FUN! logo showing through the address window, I probably would have tossed the envelope without opening it. Right back to square one. These clowns have more balls than God. I want o emphasize, I DID NOT give my credit card number to these A$$hole$; they got it from a 3rd party, Avon. Be extremely cautious even when dealing with a reputable company.

There is a website to go to, www.greatfunsite.com to cancel again. But I'm afraid to go there. If you see Great Fun or Trilegiant, the only key you want to hit is the "X" in the top right corner. If you receive anything in the mail, open it immediately, cancel it and don't bend over until you get your next CC statement.

Buyer Beware.

Feb 18, 2010 I am presently trying to stop this 14.99 charge. Not sure when it started. We actually went ahead and contacted them for a trip to ARZ from Tx. They messed up our room reservations twice, first in wrong town and second wrong size room. NO help at all. I had rechecked reservations is how I found out before we got there. Then even after canceling room and saying we will just do it ourself, tried to pressure to keep on buying another service. I even told person I can only handel one problem at a time. Also not told till after you give your card info, if it is Debit that the amount will be tottally held against card even if you cancel, for many days. I big mess and a bad start for our vacation. Looks like a very bad run business out to trick persons every way they can. Im so glad I found this to tell MY STORY> BEWARE< CHECK YOUR ACCOUNT!

Great Fun scam under the guise of a $10.00 rebate after ordering bank checks

When I ordered new checks from Color Images it then went directly to the site Greatfunsite.comand offered a $10.00 rebate. I then realized after I had ask for the rebate it was actually a membership for greatfunsite.com and my credit card will be charged $11.99 a month. I thought is was a rebate from Colorful Images.com. I cannot cancel this service unless I call an [protected] and talk to someone about canceling immediately.

Great Fun tlg great fun-illegal charges

One day I was looking at my checking account statement and noticed a tlg great fun charge for $11.99. I did not authorize this charge let alone even know the name of this company. I called twice the # provided and was disconnected twice - third time go through spent 10 minutes convincing the person that I did not sign up for this and do want any part of it.
Finally got a cancellation no.

The telemarketer stated that I signed up for this when I accepted an online rebate from the avon website - which I think I would have remembered the rebate and/or signing up for anything like this.

Great Fun - No Fun

I totally agree. Recently, i canceled the account. Even after i canceled the account, they had been withdrawing 11.99 $ from my account monthly. I had call up couple of times and finally got it to cancel. I am waiting for the next month to see if it is really cancelled this time. I got really worked up and i lost my patience dealing with these guys as well as spending precious time for this ridiculous business practice of Great Fun. Great Fun is no fun and it has bad business practices, bad ethics...

Great Fun stealing your money!

I keep calling " Great fun" to refund my money and stop the monthly charges... offices are always closed! We are living out of the USA right now and how they even got our cridt/debit card number is beyond me... I did research online and looks like there is a connection with Chase bank? Which I do have a regular credit card thru but, no charges on that card only my bank card... strange. Had to cancel my card and get a new one! Gladly though as this is some kind of scam and they will not get one more penny from me! I have been charged $11.99 for the last few months...

Great Fun taking money from my visa!

This company, listed on my bank statement as; TLG*GREATFN70488645 (then has the month they take the money) has been taking $9.99 out of my account since Sept '07! I thought it was something else and then was given wrong info from my bank regarding who was taking this. I now realize that it is a SCAM! They have gotten $59.94 from me!

I am blocking them from my account today. I WANT MY MONEY BACK! I will find out what I can do from my end. I read briefly somewhere that this has something to do with Buy.com. Please let me know what this is about smb!

Great Fun unauthorized billing!

I have been charged $11.99 per months in the past 8 months by TLG*EVRYDAY without providing any services, there is no notice to me that I registered online. I disputed the charge for Jan. 2008 and got charged again for Feb. 2008. I called TLG and talked with a representative today, he suggested me to kept getting more offers to use their services like valueless gift card, meaningless coupon or discount etc. Because this company kept charging my money without my permition, I kept refusing and insisted I get answers as to how they got my information. Finally I was informed that they cannot refund me except two months service fee.

So I called the credit card company to cancel my credit card and grant me a new card. I also contacted card services about this case. I am waiting for the outcome.

Do not trust any words from this company.

After checking my statement tonight, found $11.99 charge from MERCHANT PURCHASE TLG*GREATFN. I called my bank and was given the phone number for TLG [protected]). After repeatedly saying "Cancel my account", I was finally given a canellation number and told to expect a refund in the next 1-2 billing cycles.

The agent told me this account was created after making a purchase from ShoeBuy.com. It seems they have a little checkbox on checkout asking if you want more deals and offers. The box is checked by default, so you'll be charged no matter what!

Great Fun unauthorized charge!

I found a 149.99 charge on credit card. First of all how did they get my Credit Card Number? When you call they tell you to get your membership number off of your membership packet. I never received a packet! Secondly they told me I cashed a 9.95 dollar check which authorized the membership, which was a lie.

They are a scam and if you are not watching your credit card statements they are going to burn you. They did deactivate the membership and will refund my C.C. I had the same issue with a company called AutoAdvantage and I'm sure they are the same. Time to go to my states attorney general.

Great Fun unauthorized charges!

I was charged 9.95 for 8 months before I discovered the charge. I blame my self for negligence in not stopping the charges sooner but I did not give them permission to charge my card. I made an order with Avon and as is this case, did the payment online with my credit card. At the end of the order Avon asked if you wanted information from certain companies, I responded that I would like to receive coupons. Not knowing that I would have to pay 9.95 a month. I never received anything for that money. If I had I might have realized I might be getting a charge on my cc. I somehow overlooked this charge for 6 months and the last month I was charged twice for the end of the month and begging of the next month. That is when it stuck out like a sore thumb and I realized that I was being scammed. They did refund the last month and this month I just received a second refund of 9.95. That will not continue. They are keeping the rest of my money. $60.00! This is a lesson learned. Also I will not be shopping Avon, who gave them my credit card number.

All,

Thanks for your comments. They gave me information I needed to press my bank regarding the charge. I called Tlggreatfn and inquired as to the charges. As it turns out, I recieved a 15% off discount from a trip I booked thru ORBITZ , if I signed up for a subscription for Tlggreatfn, http://www.greatfunonline.com It is an entertainment company which specializes in dining, enternainment, travel, etc).

I remember signing up for the service with the intent of cancelling it when I moved to my new home in another state. To make a long story short, they hook you into purchasing the service with the hopes of you forgetting to cancell it. And I fell for it, hook-line-and sinker. I cannot believe I was so careless to allow these charges to accumulate for so long.

I see these posts were in 2008. Well, the scam continues. Just got an HSBC statement and it has two charges (same day), each for $109.99. One from "TRVL ADV" and one from
"Just ForMe". Had never heard of either before these charges. Called and was told that chargebacks would be made. New card being issued to eliminate use of the number again.

My fiance' was also ripped off by this bogus scam. When he called HSBC to ask if they were affiliated with these people...the rep hung up on him. I feel that card holders should stick together and sue the hell out of them. That is completely taking advantage of hard working people. The checks that were mailed to him were called "direct rewards", but like the last person said...it had HSBC's letter head and was mailed to him in their envelopes. These people are working together to scam innocent people. I think it's a crying shame!

I figured this one out when i received my second $5 check for money back from my HSBC marstercard. On the back it says in fine print that if i deposot it I will be agreeing to a travel membership and be charged $59.99. I expected more from HSBC than mail fraud. After calling the number for Travelers Advantage they only agreed to charging back the fee when threatened with an immediate BBB complaint. HSBC says they aren't associated and they are a third party, but it was sent on their letterhead in their envelope. Completly misleading scam marketing. The charge put me over the limit and they have refused to credit back the fee until traveler's credits their part back. Travel's said I should see it in 1-2 billing cycles. Funny it takes 2 days tops for a credit to clear when issued. I beleive the only way to stop this sort of fruad is to complain to your local www.BBB.org I might expect it from junk mail, but not from your credit card company.

Great Fun survey scam!

Dec. 27, 2007 - Received a phone call from the Fraud Debit Card Dept. of my Bank telling me that a charge of $1.00 to my checking debit account. I got the information from my bank to call these rip off scam pigs. Dealing with TLG Great Fun was everything BUT a delight. To make a long story short. I yelled, they yelled, and finally I got my way and talked to CSR Supervisor in the United States. After threatening to have my lawyer do a full investigation of this company, she said that she would refund me the $1.00 amount back to my account and cancel my so -called membership that I never signed up for. The same day I went to my bank to freeze my debit card # and have them order me a new one. I was told by my bank, that normally you would not see a charge like this on your bank statement. Thank God for Washington Mutual catching that charge on my account because I would have known I was charged.

Advice: Check out this link to see for yourself how many other companies the are affiliated with TLG Great Fun. http://greatfunonline.com/Content.aspx?SID=AC21B3ECAC354232610216d7370f092d&content=customerCenter%2fabout. WHEN MAKING PURCHASES ONLINE, PLEASE BECAREFUL! NEVER EVER CLICK ON ANY POP UP'S THAT ASK YOU TO TAKE A SURVEY FOR A PRIZE, A DISCOUNT ON TRAVEL, PRODUCTS ETC... WHEN YOU BUY ONLINE FROM A ONLINE COMPANY WHICH HAS THESE POP'S AND AFTER PURCHASING YOUR PRODUCT, THEY STEAL YOUR PERSONAL BILLING INFORMATION! AND THEN THEY STEAL FROM YOU!

I HOPE NO ONE ELSE WILL FALL INTO THIS TRAP.

You're either a dummy or you're working for one of these crooked companies. Most people who get these charges have no idea how the charges came about. Many times, they never signed or clicked anything. The companies charging stuff as TLG are simply criminals. There has already been a case filed in California and the companies agreed to an injunction however they are again violating it.

If you have gotten such a charge and can't easily cancel it, I suggest cancelling the card and any associated accounts. Don't get another card or account with the bank because they will just reinstate the charge. Go to a different one.

Chase seems to be the worse offender and the subject of the most complaints. They are also the subject of the California actions.

The link for the injunction against parent company Trilegiant is: http://tinyurl.com/mlcesj

I really hate it when people make excuses or blame the victims instead of the ### gutter garbage people who perpetrate the scams, cheat and deceive, and waste everyone's time. If my current problem with Chase and these crooks isn't resolved, I am going immediately to the media, especially the Turko Files, and I will consult a lawyer about filing a case. I am tired of ripoffs like this. That's all banks like Chase need is more bad publicity.

I called Wells Fargo and they were very helpful in getting the fraudulent charges reversed. After gathering the information on the monthly charges, the operator initiated a conference call with TLG. Initially, TLG agreed to reverse 2 of the 4 months of fraudulent charges, with the rest available by sending in a fax. The Wells Fargo operator asked to speak with a supervisor, and this person then agreed to reverse the remaining 2 months.

I will never use Orbitz again. Goodbye, Orbitz!

Additionally, I will find out which other companies are teaming with TLG and will boycott them as well.

Shame on TLG!
