Great Fun unauthorized charges

I have learned that hotwire is now the target to the unauthorized charges! Hotwire is giving great fun our information! My account has been charged for 6mths now and I didn't even know this! So if anybody have visited hotwire you have been getting charged every month since then! These people are scammers!

I just found out it was being charged on mine as well. Call [protected]. It is automated, but be persistant. They will ask for your member number (but of course, you don't have one). Enter 5 or 6 zeros and hit the pound sign. Do this for all of the automated questions and you will be transferred to a person. They will try to convince you to keep the membership and give you 6 free months. Just be persistant and tell them no that you want to cancel it. I just got off the phone with them and they said it is canceled. I will be watching my statement for cancellation and hopefully a refund. Hope this helps anyone else who this has happened to.

Great Fun didn't ask to receive this card and don't want it please canel it for me.

I don't know why I received this card. There was nothing with the card explaining what you are to do with it. Just said to take it to certain restaurants, entertainmet shopping car care, and much more? to receive a discount? I didn't ask to receive this. I have call the # just like everyone on this site has. no one answers the phone. I better not have anything takin out of checking account or else, there will be Hell to pay. I would like this canceled as soon as you receive this. Please send Emailto say that it is canceled. Thank you.

I too notice 7 charges this year for $11.99 on my credit card. I filed a complaint to the CC fraud department and told them I had no idea who they were and did not authorize anybody to debit my card for $11.99 a month. I then received an e-mail yesterday from a website called greatfunsite.com stating they are sorry to see me cancel my "membership". I had no idea who this was. So, I called my CC company and spoke with the fraud department and they stated they credited my account $11.99 x 7 billing cycles. The rep did state that the charges did occur from greatfun.com website. If I would of never checked my charges, this would of continued with my knowledge. How in the heck did they get my information and start charging my card? This is wrong and I am calling greatfun and filing a complaint, not that its going to do much good any how, but at least I will get to vent.

I just got a hold of them, they say it was something I signed up for when I purchased tickets through Fandango. I never signed up for anything. They are cancelling it and "attempting" to issue a credit and I should see it 7-10 business days.

Great Fun unauthorized charges to my chase freedom card

In late May, I signed up for some offer online, and I was offered a 30-day Trial Membership in TLG GREAT FUN. I never did receive the Membership Materials packet, so I called in mid-June and asked to have the Trial membership CANCELLED.

On July 7, 2008, however, I had $12.99 charged to my Chase Freedom card for goods/services I never received! I called again today (July 15, 2008) and demanded AGAIN that my Membership in TLG GREAT FUN be CANCELLED. I received a Confirmation Code of the CANCELLATION (MG102220715), and the lady I spoke with said she would remove the $12.99 charge from the above-mentioned Charge Card.

Great Fun unauthorized charges to credit card

I booked a hotel through priceline.com in February, 2008 - after that time, I noticed on my credit card statement for the months of April, May and June a charge of $11.99 for TLG Great Fun. Each month, I advised my credit card company that I was disputing this transaction as I had never authorized this. I just recently received a response from my credit card company stating that they called TLG Great Fun and was advised that when we booked the hotel, it was part of that. Please be advised that this is a SCAM! This charge has never been authorized nor will it be in the past.

I do know that there are numerous complaints against this company for the same thing. I want this amount to be credited back to my card for all the months it has been charged, including any future dates that I will be charged.

You may reach me by e-mail which is [protected]@nysupa.com

My credit card that it was charged to was HSBC - account #[protected]. The address is Cardmember Service Center, P.O. Box 5251, Carol Stream, IL [protected].

Thank you,
Brian J. Cook.

Great Fun unusual charge $11.99 since 12 months

TLG Great Fun have been charging 11.99 since 12 months on my credit card. I called [protected] to complain about the charge. The person told that I showed interest in membership, now I wonder how I showed the interest and how they managed to recognize it...then when asked to credit back all the money they charged she asked me to fax a letter to [protected] to cancel the membership and they will consider it in 46 weeks... hah! This is how fast it takes for them to give us back our money ah hah! Someone has to take action on such companies... its not just them...

Then I called my credit card company to dispute the charge and they promised to take care of it. I was so relieved... Now I am saying to all those people who are in my situation to do the same and beware of such transactions and check your statements regularly!

I got the same issue here. I got charged for $11.99/month for sometime since ...( I have to find out when). Then I did Google search and surprised to see all these complaints. I have to cancel my Credit (Citi Card) also because I just got a new card not too long ago but the charge was automatically transferred to my new card without my authorization. (Funny, Ha?). How can these people do this for many years? WB-California

TLG Great Fun exists on the deceptive practice of luring members through an invisible service. In June 2008 I purchased movie tickets through Fandango. I hadn't realized that from that point onward my bank card had been regularly charged $11.99 per month. Just today I called their [protected] number to request that customer service cancel my "membership"and credit me the last 4 months worth of charges. The service agent was willing to cancel the membership only after trying to sell me on additional services! Can you you believe that? I had to be connected to a manager who then agreed to credit me $47.96 in the next 10 days.

Pay attention to your online/bank statements!

Great Fun did the same to me. Funny... had they not been greedy and gone for the second charge, I probably wouldn't have noticed. I have disputed both $11.99 charges with my credit card company, as well. I am relieved that they will be helping me. I am calling them on Monday also.

I'm a business owner who receives calls from "victims" of these "scams" going on. The unknowing person calls me to book lodging and tells me they belong to " ", and they should get 50% off.

Well I never heard of this company or vacation discount program and my business has never given permission to them to advertise that we give discounts through their discount card!

They charge people $14.95 a month X (shall we say a conservative) 500, 000 people = $ 7, 475, 000.00 A MONTH.

Yes, 7 MILLION 475 THOUSAND DOLLORS!
EACH AND EVERY MONTH! X 12 MONTHS = $89, 700, 000.00
That's right 89 MILLION 7 HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLORS A YEAR!

Why would I or other businesses help someone make that kind of money for doing nothing?

People please before you sign up for anything, (don't ever give your Credit Card or Banking Information to anyone before you know exactly what your getting), check out the company first - ask for referrals of companys that do offer discounts through them.

I purchased items from Haband for my husband a couple times and received a check in the mail. I thought it was a rewards check so I cashed it. stupid me. it is now the end of the year and I am going through all my credit charges & saw this charge FROM THG*COMPLETHME WITH A # AFTER IT, my account #. I did not know what this was for so I called the 800 # & spoke with Neil and explained that I didn't know what this was for and then realized it must have been the check I cancelled. I did not even remember the check but I did keep getting checks and finally read the back of the check and found out what a scam that is. they are reversing the entire $139 from March 2009. I was very surprised but very much releived and I will make sure it appears on my card. I will also be sending a letter to Haband and tell them to NEVER SEND ME ANYTHING AGAIN OR I WILL BE SENDING IT TO MY ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION. BE CAREFUL WHEN CASHING CHECKS...

Great Fun be careful

Over the past several months I have been getting charges of $11.99 on my credit card by a company called Great Fun. Never heard of this company never received anything from them. Turns out when I booked a trip with Priceline there was a fine print scheme that had this company Great Fun receive my credit card info and bill me every month for $11.99. Supposedly I was to get coupons or something. Never did. Paid over $100 to this company though. Looking around online it seems that there are many other people having this problem and talking to one of their representatives it didn't seem like this was out of the ordinary.

Call the company at [protected] and you will speak with a run of the mill service rep on a script. Cancel your account, once your sure your account is cancelled ask to speak with a manager. The service rep will give you a line about faxing a letter requesting refund to the provided fax number, this is B.S. hence the request to speak with a manager. Make sure that you are documenting names and employee numbers so there is no doubt in their minds you mean business.

The supervisor/manager has the ability to process a refund electronically while on the phone and will give you a confirmation number for the refund. It takes 7-10 business days and showed up in that timeframe in my case. If they don't you should have names and employee numbers for everyone that promised you something so you can go back and make heads roll big time if necessary.

This is a crap company that purposely operates to BILL YOU. Nothing more. I called, CANCELLED and they STILL BILLED ME! They are scammers. I too called, spoke to a woman, got a confirmation number and still got billed. Unbelievable.

I am running into 3 months of Billing so far and I am trying to stop it.

AVOID TLG Shopper. You can always tell the scammers. No easy to reach phone number, no web page, difficult to contact.

Why? Companies like these bank on you giving up!

Great Fun Online scam

Signed up in order to get a $50 rebate on airline tickets i purchased from priceline. We never got a membership kit as they said. Instead all we got is a membership card with no other explanation. When i went on the website, i logged in, however it would just bring you back to the homescreen. After trying several times, i got the following message: "The secure certificate presented by this website was issued for a different websites address. Security certificate problems may indicate an attempt to fool you or intercept any data you send to the server"

It further recommended to close the window immediately. We called the number [protected] and canceled our membership.

Thank you.

I called by the 10th day and got a cancellation code and everything. We are STILL being charged $11.99 each month. My credit card company is going after them now but that's beside the point.

Great Fun unauthorized billing!

I was enrolled in this scam without my permission when i renewed my subscription with classmates. I immediately caught the charge on my debit account and contacted this company. They insisted i ordered services but after getting cursed out by me, they agreed to close my so called 'account' and refund my money. I also contacted the BBB and filed a complaint. If more people file a complaint with the BBB, Maybe there will be less victims. We need to shut this place down. By the way, i was refunded my money and i am waiting to see if they are gonna charge me again.

Just got a call from my bank asking me if I authorized a draft of $12.99 from Great Fun-which I did not authorize. I called Great Fun and they told me I signed up for it when I ordered something from Miles Kimball. She said I got as $20 rebate signing up for this. I did not sign up for Great Fun AND I did not receive any $20 rebate. The girl I talked with was very accommodating and refunded my money--no problem except my bank canceled my card immediately so now I will have to wait for a check to come in the mail. Positive note: at least I'm getting my money back.

i just got ripped off too.clicked on that classmates pop up about a month ago and about 4 days ago checked my bank statement and there is a 12.99 charge for great fun.
the funny thing is, i never gave them any info.
i googled first. found nothing but these complaints and did not follow thru.
there was a 800# on my bank statement so i called and it was great fun.
spoke to someone who told me that simply clicking on that pop up
automatically quailified as signing up and that got my card info from classmates. i was told that it would be straightened out, but what what really surprized me, its 12.99 EVERY MONTH.
classmates has hell to pay... what do we do?

Sames scenario. At the end of signing up or renewing Classmates a "$10 rebate" offer pops up. This is the trojan horse that triggers the membership. First month is free so you do not notice right away and have trouble associating with Classmates because it shows up on the following months bill.
Called 800.285.5903 and was able to cancel and will be looking for credit on next months bill.

While signing up for classmates, I was enrolled in TGL great fun and never agreed to it. They started charging me $12:99 a month and I just noticed it. They agree to refund my money but they had an attitude. Acted like I was wrong untill I told them I work ed in Law enforcement. What a scam. I counseled my membership with classmates and won't renew.

Great Fun false charge on credit card

Tlc great fun charged 119.99 to my credit card. I called them [protected]) to find out who they are. they offer a discount card service. I never use discount cards. would never purchase one. I asked them how they got my card number. they told me I registered online with them using my credit card. that is a lie, I haven't used that credit card in over a month. apparently after they get this initial charge on your card they continue charging monthly for thier service until you catch it on your statement.

This place got me too. I thought it was something my husband was doing since he worked out of state a while and used the debit. Well when he came home we kept very good tabs on what each of us were using the debit card on. So I noticed this TLG great fun. I called and asked what it was. They said I went to this site called occassions.com and signed up. I went on that site and I have never seen it nor would I have bought anything from this site. I demanded a refund that I have yet to receive. So I went to my bank. The bad part is since I thought these charges were legit they got a ton of money out of me for like a year. I can only dispute up to 90 days with my bank. So I am writing a letter directly to these scammers to get my money back!

Ya they got me to for 9 payments of 11.99 a month. They went though the back door of another place that I give my card to. Becareful after you pay for something that you go click the wrong place giving them the approvel to get in on the tail.

These guys stick in fine letter some option under some travel website lite Hotwire or ORbitz.
You need to call the above number [protected])) and get it canceled first and the contact support for the refund.

These guys will try to woo you with additional offers/rebates, but don't be fooled by that.

Last January, I helped my parents buy 2 round trip flight tickets from Tulsa (Oklahoma) to New Orleans (Louisiana) and back. I volunteered to do that because I knew Price Line website and buying tickets with them we would save about fifty dollars. I paid online for those tickets with my bank card. Everything was OK until last week when I suddenly found out that eleven dollars had been charged on my bank account for some unknown reason and by an unknown person. With my bank's help, I called to number [protected] to know who did that bad thing and what the reason was. The lady who talked to me from that phone number told me I was charged for my membership with something called "TLG Great Fun". It was the first time I heard that name and you can imagine how angry I got then. She also told me I joined the membership at the time I bought the flight tickets from Price Line! When I said I had never done something like that, I didn't know her "TLG Great Fun" and wouldn't like to have any relation with it, the lady promised to cancel that "membership" and give me a refund. I felt OK and calmed myself down to wait... Two days later, I received a "refund check" from "TLG Great Fun" with a tiny line at the bottom, "By cashing or depositing this check, you're purchasing a membership." If you were I, would you cash or deposit that check? Then, I had to cancel my bank card immediately! One more thing I know from my Dad, when you buy tickets with Price Line, you cannot use a self-check-in computer at the airport because the paperwork they mailed you will be with no confirmation number (record locator)!

The above is from a young lady and she's a graduate, working for the management of a software company. She was still tricked ! So, who would be ready to purchase something online if they couldn't use computers proficiently or argue in English?

I got ripped off by TLG too. I have no idea when I purchase anything with them or subribed for any services. Today I noticed my credit card was charged $11.99. On checking statements from the previous months, I realized this was happening for the past 5 months.
