Great Fun credit card fraud

I just went through my debit card statement and found charges by Great Fun for $11.00 which I did not authorize. I believe they are somehow affiliated with Traveler's Advantage because I found charges for Traveler's Advantage for $11.00 as well. I had authorized Traveler's Advantage to bill me $7.99 per month for airlines and hotel discounts but obviously they are a fraud as well. I'm calling them first thing in the morning to demand a refund as well as cancel my stupid subscription with Traveler's Advantage.

Someone asked how can we stop Great Fun from fraudulent charges and if everyone who's had fraudulent charges stick together and file complaints with the Better Business Bureau we can definitely keep this from happening to other people. I never authorized Great Fun from debiting any amount of money from my debit card. This is absolutely insane! It is theft!

Let's contact the Better Business Bureau and stop this crap already!

On Oct 19, 2007, I made a purchase from hotwire. Unlike some of the other complaints about this company, I did know that they charged my credit card for membership. If you called within one month to cancel, you would not be charged. I called them, explained that a popup came up and in order to continue I had to push some button. Once I pushed the button it told me I had purchased Great Fun! Well I could not go anywhere to complete my purchase on hotwire without pushing the button, so I did as I was ready to check out. I saved the receipt and called to cancel.

Today Oct 30th, I received a postcard stating that they were increasing my fees. I was shocked. So I call, finally they give me a supervisor since I mentioned all the fraudulent activity of their's reported on the internet. He wanted my cancellation number...yeah like I kept that after a year. So, he gave me 4 months back and cancelled my account...want to bet he didn't?

In order to get your money back you have to write a letter...yeah and then what? I think I will call my credit card company.

I think we need to stop this kind of fraud. If someone didn't do their job, they should realize this could happen. I never used their services and I am sure they can see that I didn't. Of course remember it is always the buyer's fault.

Great Fun has been sending me stuff in the mail and I toss it because I think it is advertising. Little did I know they were probably charging me to the hilt!

Watch out everyone. If you buy from hotwire, make sure you don't have an additional charge on your credit card from them and you won't recognize it, but there will be an 800 number to call. Make sure you call and cancel and make sure you hold on tight to that number! Or they will charge you for nothing.

My wife, a Green Card Holding Brazilian National, aspiring to be a US Citizen, is being assessed a $59.99 semi-annual membership fee by this company for services she never requested. She only became aware of this scurrilous scam when she innocently requested I explain to her the contents of an innocuous appearing index sized card sent by mail informing her that her semi-annual membership would be automatically renewed unless she informed the company otherwise.

I am still trying to discover which of her credit cards, on some of which she is only an "authorized user", she (or I) am being assessed this charge.

I would like to know which of "Great Fun" partnering companies sold my wife's name to this company, or how she became subscribed in the first place, and what can be none in the nature of complaint and recompense. The only two candidates are AMC Theatres or Loews Theatres, two Great Fun partnering companies from which she has made purchases.

She left corruption riddled South American only to discover legally endowed pernicious parasites such as Great Fun up here in the "Land of Opportunity".

How can we stop this?

Sincerely,

Marshall Curson

Great Fun withdraw money without consent

I opened my online checking to notice a $139.99 credit, not knowing what it was a called the number and entered the scurity code provided only to find out I signed a rebate check sent to me through Brylane Home. Here I thought I was getting five dollars back because I used my card, when in reality I was agreeing to some security thing. I called the number that was with the withdraw and they gave me a cancelation code, which I don't think will happen. After reading all this crap on the internet about this company you think big brother would get involved to stop this rip-off. Not sure where I need to go now to make a big stink, but I do know I am closing my checking account and opening a new one, and when I receive a rebate check in the mail, , I am reading it much closer now.

Hi, i have recently been scammed by tlg loans. They took £149.99 when i'd not even said they could. What makes it worse is that the bank could not give a ### and make it out as if it's my fault. I have infomed the fraud squad and hopefully these ###s can get what's coming to them. gail x

I just noticed a charge on my card fron this company also. As the case with many of you I charge dozens of items each month and do not always pay attention to all small purchases. My wife noticed this charge and questioned it. We looked back and this is the 5th charge in 3 months for 12.99. The only thing we can think of is we do use hotwire.com? Thanks for posting your complaints. I thought we were the only one.

Like many of you, I was billed 11.99 for something I have no clue about. Apparently I signed up for this after buying a ticket on priceline? I did buy a ticket on priceline but I sure as hell wouldn't have agreed to pay 11.99 for discounts on whatever. This is a load of crap, can't this company be stopped.

Great Fun fraud

TLG Loans have just taking £119.99 out of my account without my authorisation. They lied to that they wanted my card details to check that my bank account was connected to my address and not to take any money from my account. I found out on the next day from my bank that £119.99 has been debted from my account by TLG loans. I have been trying to contact them to find out what has happened and for some reason the phone line is not connecting. I have not received the loan I asked for and I am still trying to chase the company for this. This is Fraud and please be careful when dealing with them.

I got a "Payment Due Notice" from Buyers Advantage. I knew I had never done business with them and I looked on the computer and found that they are an illegal company and try to scam people out of their money by sending them a notice for $149.99. I know I do not owe this money and have no intention of sending it to them,
but I wonder why the law doesn't protect us from illegal practices lilke this?

TLG loan called me on 06th April 2009 and said they are going to do some credit check for the loan first. For this reason, they need my bank account details. And after that they said it is decline. The lady, who called me, mentions her name as “Scarlet”. BEWARE!

They took £49.99 from my bank account and now I am trying to call them on their official number which is [protected] but no one is answering the phone. BEWARE!

Now, I saw these complaints, they are totally fraud. PLEASE, reject any calls from them straight away.

I've worked in a bank and I'm having the same unauthorized charges issue. You have to go to your bank and dispute it. they'll fill out whatever paperwork needed and it'll take a couple days, that should resolve the charge plus overdraft fee(s). You might also want to cancel the debit/credit card and request a new one to avoid future charges.

Great Fun fraud and stealing

This group somehow got my credit card number and has been tking funds from my account every 2weeks since Dec.3. I never authorized these payments to them and I have called them 3 times to cancel unauthorized membership. I just called today and was in formed it was still active. I never joined and I never gave them my credit card number. The only way I can think they got it was when I ordered Riddex. They are connected in my mind because this has been going on ever since I made that purchase from the TV ad. At this point they have taken around $105.00. I would like a total refund.

my card number was picked up in February 11. 14.95/month was charged against my credit card. when i finally realized something was going on they told me I had subscribed to a dining club. My husband and I are in our 80s. He has Dementia. We would not enroll in such a program. We were offered a 2 month refund of the program. We had been paying this for 8 months. I never received a discount card for use at restaurants or any correspondence from this company. I feel like I have been violated by scam artist.

Great Fun charge to bank account

My bank account was charged $139.99 without my knowledge. I called them at [protected] and was told I had either cashed a check fromWomans Within or signed up online for identity protection theft .
Neither being true I asked for my money to be returned. I was advised this would take 1-2 business days and was given a cancellationcode number.
I am now waiting to see if they return the money.

I made a purchase through Roaman's online and found a charge for $139.99 on our next CC bill. We sent a letter to our CC bank placing the charge in dispute and I called the number on the CC bill. I was told by the TLG ID Secure company (who profess to provide identity theft protection - HA!) that they would be refunding me the amount and they gave me a confirmation number. The next month our CC bill showed a refund of only $84.60 ($55.39 less than the full amount!). I just called them again and was told that the "eligable refund was released" to us. I demanded a refund of the remaining amount and was told it would be given. This time I had to ask for a confirmation number. We will have to send another letter back to our CC company in order to continue the dispute until the we see the remainder refunded. What a pain. One key thing when asking for your money back, stay calm, be firm, and try to be polite. The guy on the other end of the phone didn't do this to you, his company did and if you are not unkind to him/her, they usually try to be very helpful.

One thing's for sure - I'm never spending another dime with any of these clothing companies!

Great Fun unauthorized charge

I found an unauthorized charge on my credit card statement in March and called to get it removed. I was told it was a "third party vendor transaction" and had to call the vendor which turned out to be TLB Complete Homes that I had never heard of before, much less authorized a charge. I called the company and they said I had cashed a $5 check which triggered the "service". (I still don't have any idea what the service is). I said I had not and to remove the charge. They said they would. They said they were affiliated with a company called Norm Thompson.

I checked my deposits and I had indeed cashed a $5 check in January. It was from a company called Sahalie. I had bought some stuff from them Summer of 2008 and had received a check from them saying it was a kind of rebate.

So I called Sahalie and asked them if they were affiliated with Norm Thompson. They said it was a sister company. The check was indeed a come on for the TLG "service". I guess I didn't read all the fine print, but the check did come from Sahalie and said it was a rebate.

This is an obvious scam. How does it get stopped?

i had the same thing happen to me. i have never heard of this company. i went to the atm to withdraw some cash and it said insufficient funds. so, i called my bank, they said that this "tlg buyers" and also "tlg great fun" had billed my debit card in 4 different transactions for $15.99 each. so, now i have to call this, "unknown" company and make them refund my money that they took. then i have to order a new debit card. i dont even know how they got my info in the first place. but something needs to be done about this. it isnt right to anyone unless, that one person authorizes the transaction. i am contacting my lawyer and im going to try to do something to stop this company from stealing from the citizens of the U.S. I think everyone else that has experienced this similar activity should do the same thing and we should all team up and put a stop to this. because of this, "tlg buyers" and "tlg great fun", i had to borrow money to buy my childs diapers, just because some company i have never heard of, emptied my account.

I just had the same thing happen this morning. I got a check for $8.25 some months back from buying a stupid pedd egg! I cashed the check and thought nothing of it until this morning, got up and checked my account online to see that there was a pending charge of $139.99 from TLG Buyers...No clue who in the world this company was nor did I approve this. So I called the bank and they of course can't do anything until it clears my account, in which will leave me negative and of course charge a $35 NSF fee. I found this through a search engine and called the company. Tehy are refunding my $139.99, but of course, it will take days. I had to borrow $140 and oput it in my account today so I will not get charged and NFS, because I know my bank will not refund them. The bank won't refund NSF because by cashing that stupid little check, it gave them authorization for the money. This is just craziness!

Great Fun credit card scam

We bought Haband clothing over a year and a half ago. We since received some checks stating that we were getting them because we were great customers. I did not read the fine print on the back of the check.
We ended up finding out the hard way after cashing 2 of these checks. We ended up getting 2 different charges on our credit card ($139.99 each)for various services. We found out that they were connected to these checks that we cashed when I called back in Oct 2008.

We did not cash anymore checks from this time forward. Then another charge showed up for TLG*COMPLETEHME. Because I did not notice it right away (almost a month) they would only give us $111.53 instead of $139.99 on. The charge was Dec 17, 2008.
When I asked how long this would go on - they said they did not know and I should not cash any more checks. I said that I had not so since before October.
It has been a few months since we have had anything show up on our credit card, but this could have been overlooked and we would have been out almost $500.
What a rip off.

Hi guys - came across this on another complaints board called consumer action group

SCAM! The Loan Supermarket/The Lending Group SCAM!TLG Loans

AKA: CARTER AND CARTER

I had £99.99 taken from my bank account.
If anybody has applied for a loan through this company. You have probably had from £39.99 - £349.99 taken out of your bank account for a one off 'administration fee'.

All the people they 'rob' off are asked to give their bank details - long digit on your card number and your 3 digit security code. You are told this is for 'security' OR 'validation/verification'

After giving these details - which most people do not question to give out - which is understanding - as the websites of the company look legitimate and very professional. You are then told there is an administration fee ranging from £49.99 to £149.99 which they take off you as soon as you put the phone down. I do not know how they work out how much your 'application' will cost to process but the most they can get the better. (Commision based) - even if you change your mind after giving details of your account or you want to have a think about the loan you have applied for. They will STILL take your money.

They send you NO paperwork
If your loan has been declined you are told you are entitled to your money back. And you have an every right as it is your money.
No matter how many letters you send or phone calls you make you will never get your money back. The people on the phones are not there to help you but to simply make money out of you and others.

This is theift and it needs to be stopped. Thousands of people are getting robbed and 'fobbed off' when they try and do something about it.

STOP wasting your time and money on phone calls and letters and go to BBC's watchdog, consumer direct, police.

WAYS TO GET YOUR MONEY BACK

Another option may be to approach your bank. They may be able to do an IMDEMNITY CLAIM and refund your money, then their retail fraud team would investigate and claim the money back from the company.

Their is ALOT of negative feedback on the internet about theloansupermarket many people have contacted watchdog, and from what I've read there has been interest from the BBC to investigate what is going on here. If enough people do this maybe it will push them to take action...
http://www.bbc.co.uk/watchdog/ ...just click on the 'Got a Story' link to tell them what has happened to you.

The Office of Fair Trading also has a tool to uncover scams...https://secure.consumerdirect.gov .uk...follow this link and tell them your story.

the more people that do this SOMETHING WILL BE DONE.

FOR ADDRESSES AND NUMBERS GO TO | Carter & Carter Financial |

KIND REGARDS AND GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE.
LETS GET THESE PEOPLE LOCKED UP.

This company is a total rip off and are scaming people all over the UK. Its a joke that the comapny can get random number and start charging t hem for texts that they did not order or even know about., The owners are going to get shut down which needs to be done know.

Anyone who has been scammed you need to let ICTIS know about the issue. 3 messages costing 2 pounds each. 6 pounds from many phones is a lot of money. Its a joke

Great Fun cancelled enrollment and company continued to debit my account

I cancelled my Great Fun account in September of 2008, then recently went through my bank statements and noticed I was still being charged the monthly enrollment fee. I called to cancel again, but because I did not have my cancellation code (I had thrown it away a few months ago), I was not refunded the amount I had been charged in the months after cancelling my account the first time. I am very upset that my money was taken without my consent and then not given back to me. I did not want to be enrolled anymore, and so I cancelled and considered it a done deal, but apparently the company kept my information and used it to sneak out the monthly enrollment fee. This company is very unprofessional, and I would think what they did to me is illegal as well.

I also cancelled my membership that was FREE for 30 days. Then, I continued to get charges. The phone call i made to stop charges and the cancellation code is put into a word doc saved as cancellationcodes. that is the last time i will be without a code because i can just pull it up on a doc. In addition, writting to Great Fun Support Service P.O. Box 6100 Westerfield, OH 43086 and asking for a refund for the previous MONTHS charges may get further refunds. It surly is a full time job being a consumer.
