Great Fun read the fine print!

Add this to the way this company sucks people into a stated, current monthly $11.99 membership fee;
A catalog company sends a $10.00 check following a purchase.
On the front, in small print is the disclaimer,
"By cashing or depositing this check you are purchasing a membership in Great Fun."
On the back, above the endorsement line is another,
"I authorize Great Fun to bill the monthly membership fee after my free trial. I agree to a 30 day trial offer in G.F. I understand the the $11.99 monthly fee will be automatically charged to my credit card on file with Collections Etc. unless I cancel my membership by calling [protected] before the end of the trial period. I understand that I will also be charged every month thereafter at the then-current monthly fee unless I call to cancel and owe nothing further. By cashing this check i authorize Collections Etc. to securely transfer my credit card information to great fun for enrollment, billing and benefit processing.
If I read and understand this correctly, they can just raise that monthly fee whenever they want, to whatever amount they want, because you have expressly given them permission to do so! MY ADVICE: DO NOT CASH THAT CHECK!

Great Fun unauthorized charge

on my creditcard I found a charge for $ 11.99 from a company called :TLG Travel.
No clue who this is.. surely did not give them my creditcard-number.
I found their tel. number, and called them. The number is :[protected] and I talked w. a guy named "John" w. ID 7014.
I asked him how he got my creditcard-number, he said.. he would mail me this info. ( How does he know where I live?)... He said.. he canceled my " debt ". I immediately called my creditcard, and canceled the number.So far so good. I want to know how these guys got my creditcard-number? This was a scam, I got on top of it just in time.

my mother also got an unusual charge on her credit card of two amounts of 14.99 from TLG-premtravel. she never called the phone number but she did inform her credit card company and they took off the charges. The charge came out of her debt, which she never uses. there must be some kind of scam going on but im wondering how they got the debt number and password.

I am suffering from the same company's scam. I got charged $65 from "TLG*PREMTRAVEL [protected]" without my authrization. I never heard of this company before this happened. I called the above number to ask how they got my info and why I got charged. She said they were a travel agency and collected it from travel websites such as hotel.com or expedia.com, then she kept asking me my name and credit card number over and over again. I called my credit card company right away to report this illegal transaction. I can't figure out how and why this happened but please be careful to protect your personal information.

Great Fun fraudulent charges

TLG Comp Home and TLG Fun are both databases which are parasitic from websites which you may shop/order from. They charged my account 11.99 for 5 months and it was a latched parasite from COOKING.COM - I spoke with them today and insisted on a manager who is refunding my entire amount in 10-15 business days. Won't hold my breath. Calling Cooking.com today to complain and let them know I am posting everywhere I know to warn people. Buyer Beware! Used 800 number from previous posts - thanks!

Noticed an $11.99 charge on my online checking account website this morning that was authorized today, 10-24-07 and it's only 6:00a.m. I have no idea who TLG Great Fun is or what this charge is for -- I've never heard of them. The number listed on the account page said [protected] -- I called them and of course at this hour, they're closed and aren't available until 9:00a.m. I'm calling the bank to have this marked as an unauthorized debit and to list this as identity theft.

Great Fun scam!!!

Watch out! This company has managed to scam me for almost a year. At first I didn't think anything of an $11.99 charge on my credit card for a month or so...I figured my husband charged something. Then it showed up a couple of more months and I asked him about it but it didn't ring a bell. Finally I called my bank to find out where the charge was coming from. I was advised it was coming from some internet based service/company and was provided the 800# to call. The rep @ TLG was incompetent, gave incorrect information and informed me I signed up for this via Priceline.com! I had booked a hotel room on Priceline last year but did not click on anything else, agree to anything other than the price of the hotel and that was it! I have always made it a point to read the fine print and to not 'click' on pop ups or ads for 'special incentives or bonuses' because I was afraid of this very thing happening. Well guess what...it didn't matter because they got me anyway! DO NOT BOOK TRIPS/HOTELS WITH PRICELINE--if you do BEWARE! I had to go through a fight to even get 4 months worth of credits when those jerks double charged me for 2 months after thoroughly reviewing my bank statements. I was provided a fax # and mailing address to send a challenge for the remaining credits owed. I doubt I will ever see the rest of my $$ but as long as it is cancelled and I never hear from these people again I will just have to live with it and suck up the loss.

Great Fun unauthorized charges / debit

In researching my online bank account debits, I've been getting charged/debited $11.99 from a company "TLG Great Fun". I have NO idea nor remote clue who or what they are, let alone have I authorized any such access to my account. Who the hell are these people, what is it and what's this all about?

I've called two of their listed numbers and of course, they're closed.

Any suggestions?

Unbelieveable!

Yeah, just saw another debit from my account for $14.99, thought it was the wife buying something, asked her and she said she had no idea what it was. Found their number - [protected]. Plan on calling them and see if they can reverse the charges, if not we should all get together and put a class action suit against them.

Great Fun unauthorizedcharges

Unauthorized charge to Discover Card.
Great Fun sent me a coupon for Sears for $10.00. I did not use the card. We have been being billed for $9.99 for over a year on our discover card. We thought it was something our grandson subscribed to because we sometimes let him use our card. We found out it was nothing he had signed up for. I called their phone #[protected]) and they said when I accepted the card I subscribed to Great Fun.
I feel this is a scam and we have spent over $100.00 for nothing.
I called once to cancel and it was not canceled.
I called again today and they said they would cancel it again. Is there any way that I can get a refund?

Great Fun unauthorized charges

Back in August 2008, I ordered some flowers online and entered into a promotion that promised cash back on purchases plus with a $9.99 monthly membership you receive an unlimited supply of discount coupons on virtually anything as far as dining, movies, shopping, etc. Well, I called this company 2 times since August to cancel my membership, and was assured it was. I then received 3 more $10 checks which I thought was my cash back rewards on more purchases through the same company. I cashed the check and now a membership fee of $139.99 has been billed to my credit card, 2 days before Christmas. I called the company on my statement and was told that each of those "reward" checks was a promotion from a different company, and since I cashed them, each company has it's own membership fee and cancellation date. WHAT? 3 different companies whose services I did not know I signed up for has my credit card info. and will each try to debit my account for up to $199.00 each. GREAT FUN IS A SCAM, don't try it, not even for the trial period!

I also received a Great Fun charge for $11.99. I had been studying abroad for the first 5 months of my "membership" (that I didn't even know existed) and unable to even see the charges coming into my shared account with my parents. They just paid and assumed that it was something that I was doing abroad. I called Great Fun and had them immediately cancel my account (you must be persistent, they will try to tell you how great it is). Cut them off, tell them you never wanted it and still do not want it and would like it to be canceled right away. After this, tell them that you would like to receive a fax number for Executive Support in order to receive a full refund for all months you have been charged by Great Fun. If you do these steps you should successfully no longer be charged and also receive a full refund for any charges you have had in the past. Good luck.

There is a lawsuit agains them but it depends on the state you are in. http://www.consumeraffairs.com/news04/2006/12/trilegiant_chase.html

I just accidentally got caught in this scam too so I'm scrambling to avoid the doom. I rented a hotel on Hotwire; a company I've used happily for years and I'm very disappointed in them for being connected with this scam artist. I clicked a link to "save $20" from my email confirmation from Hotwire. No idea I was going to another company's site. Stupid me! I put in my state and a password and clicked a button I thought would take me to get more info, but to my horror I had signed up and gave Hotwire permission to give them all my personal and credit card info. I emailed both them and hotwire to tell them I do not agree to sign up. I went to Great Fun's site and logged in and told them to take me off thier mailing list. I'm thinking of reporting my credit card lost so I can get a new number or I'll fear having to watch my statement for years to come.

Great Fun charge credit card inapproprately

Great Fun continues to charge consumers for fake services. I have been getting $10 checks for a year and fine print says cashing enrolls you and they will bill 11.99 for next 11 months. No deal there! Never cashed but noticed that my credit card has been billed for past 9 months! Discover says they pull from websites. In my case likely a precheck box on cheaptickets.com. Obviously the intent is to grab your dollar for nothing. Such fraudulent intent has resulted in lawsuits in many States. I checked and mine won a suit in 2005...so nothing has changed! I filed a formal complaint immediately with the attorney general as I am one of many. I plan to volunteer to bring this to a second suit with penalties associated. Sneaky, deceptive practices must not be tolerated. Let your AG know. Demand restitution. Go to small claims. Write to the editor of your local newspaper. It is time to shut this company down after over 30 years of robbing people.

- Don't do business with any Trilegiant / Cendant company (too many to list here);

- Stop doing business with the company that provided your name & Account # (Miles Kimball in my case);

- File a complaint with your state's Attorney General (my state was one of many states who won a class action lawsuit against TLG & Chase in December 2006)

- Contact TLG and demand your money back (there are many 800 numbers depending on which TLG company gottcha) TLG Great Fun [protected] / TLG Comp Home [protected]

Great Fun charges to my credit card of 12.99 per month for 7 months

I don't know how they did it but they charged my credit card for 7 months. I have never had any interest in the product and never purchase discount booklets or programs. I didn't notice the charge because Privacy Guard charges the same amount each month and the information starts with TG for both charges for the same amount of money 12.99. They claim I answered a security question which gave them permission to charge my credit card. I have never experienced answering a security question as a way for one company to obtain credit card information from another company.

Great Fun unauthorized membership enrollment

Apparently when I ordered something online back in Sept. I was enrolled for a free 30 day trial for Great Fun without knowing it. So of course at the end of the 30 days you are to cancel the membership that you didnt know you were enrolled in. I noticed on my statement the 11.00 membership fee and called [protected] to find out my card had been getting charged since Sept. and that I had to fax them a letter to [protected] stating I didnt know I was enrolled or was aware of the monthly fee & that I dident receive my membership packet along with my billing statements for the refund. Of course I was given this information and my cancellation# after I was given the enrollment sales pitch. Total scam not to mention unethical.

Great Fun scam scam

I booked a motel in Kansas City. Everything went well other than the Hotel was a pump and we got a room that had water damage. When we asked to be moved we got another room but the only thing was the room was dirty and in poor repair. I put on the reservation that I had small children. Then a few weeks after the trip we started getting billed for a membership into great fun. The bill was automatic on the card we used to book a reservation. I didn't want bad credit so I paid the $11.99 and started the complaint process. I thought I got the problem resolved only to get charged by Just for Me another automatic affiliation with Great Fun and Priceline. Why can't peoplejust do honest business and quit scamming everyone. I thought booking through Priceline would be safe.

I was charged $12.99 for two months, and finally realized it, and called the company. I spoke with a woman who said they will be refunded with in 2 weeks and this was in September, never seen the check. I then called today and spoke with someone at the company, I called [protected], and then finally spoke to a guy who gave me this fax number and a comformation # saying then i should send my bill that they charged on my card and tell them i want a refund, so we will see if this really does happen, and i get my money back. So if anyone else would like to try this the fax number they gave me was [protected], send the bill and then they will susposly refund you.

Great Fun unauthorized charge to debit card and cannot figure out how they got my debit card number

From what I have determined this is the company that was to provide Entertainment Coupon Books to schools for students to sell. I ordered one Great Fun coupon book from my Granddaughter on Sept 1, 2008. I have never received the book which I ordered through Princeton Elementary School. I received what appears to be a membership card last week and a short note directing me to access their website to see all the discounts that the card was good for. When I received this card had no idea where it came from or what it was for since I did not order it. Secondly, they charged my debit card for $36.99 without my knowledge or authorization, My check#2217 in the amount of $30.00 written to Princeton Elementary School has cleared my account. So far that means that I have been taken for $66.99 because I wanted to do something for my granddaughter.
The debit charge is listed as TLG Great Fun. How did they get my debit number. I did not give that to anyone. A copy of this complaint will also be provided to the Orange County School Board, Orlando, Fl., 32801 I'm sure that other schools districts will be just as interested, not to mention the Attorney Generals Office in Tallahassee.

Great Fun credit card fraud

I googled and Wikipedia had this to say about this company. It went by a different name but this is the same one.
"Numerous issues with this company have been reported. According to the Better Business Bureau, hundreds of issues have been reported by consumers for deceptive selling practices, unauthorized charges to consumers' credit cards, and failure to respond or resolve issues. Many of these complaints stem from the charges individuals found on their credit card statements. Consumers are told that it takes 28 days for a charge to be canceled or credited back, and even employees of the credit card company are not able to dispute these charges in the same manner any other charge would be handled. In fact, a completely different process is required, as per the creditors contracts with Affinion Group. This process is designed to give Affinion group as many chances to "save the sale" as possible. Where any normal unauthorized charge can be disputed and resolved within a month as a matter of law, charges from these merchants are often not resolved for several months on end.[5]

On March 7, 2005, the company made a Settlement Agreement with the Office of the Attorney General of Florida. Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act, Chapter 501, Part II, Florida Statutes.[6]

In July, 2005, the Attorney's General of Connecticut, California, and Maine brought a lawsuit against TLG/Affinion for allegedly deceiving consumers into enrolling in its clubs.[7] [8]

In December, 2006, Trilegiant/Affinion agreed to pay over $8 million dollars to 17 states and their residents to settle allegations they tricked residents into paying for its programs.[9]"

Check it out for yourself.
By the time these guys take a little here and a little there from unsuspecting, hardworking, honest citizens, they have amassed millions! Maybe it's time this was addressed on a Federal level and not just by each state. I would certainly be glad to take part in a class action against them for punitive damages! This might put an end to their thievery!

Great Fun unauthorized withdrawal

I too check my bank account daily for transactions. This charge for $12.99 was there with the phone number and the company name of TLGreatfun. I had no idea where it came from. After calling them I found out that it came from an online purchase I made a month ago. They had obtained my credit card info and applied this fee stating that I had authorized them to do so. I never go for those gimmicks when I buy something and I DID NOT click on anything that would authorize this fee. I have been reading the other complaints about this company and it looks like they continue to rip people off even though they have cancelled with them. I called my bank and got my card flagged. This means that card is useless for the time being on my account. The bank is issuing me a new card which will have different info on it. Any transactions that now come through on the old card will be rejected by the bank. The bank said this happens all the time. We are not wealthy people and my bank account balance usually reflects exactly what I have and spend each month. A charge of only $12.99 can throw things off a great deal and result in fees from my bank and the legitimate companies I do pay each month. I am also going to contact Walter Drake as they are the online company with which I did business last month. Also, I feel it would be a good idea for anyone with a complaint to contact their Better Business Bureau. I threatened TLGreatfun with this type of action and they agreed to return my money. I'll believe it when I see it!
