Great Fun Fraudulant charges

I went on priceline.com last August to book a hotel in Flagstaff. I must have accidently clicked on something that allowed GreatFun.com to begin charging me $11.99/month for great "discounts." When I went on their website to find out about these great "discounts, " I only found a buy one get one free pizza from Domino's. This company is a total online scam. I never received any e-mails or U.S. postal mailings from this business. I only saw a monthly charge on my bank statement with an 800# attached to it. I will also avoid priceline.com site in my future as well.

Very happy I had the time to google this company while the sales lady on the phone was rambling about their great service. I just spent $2200 on GNR tickets, and Ticketmaster popped this rebate up I qualified for, said it was $30. I called the number, spoke to the lady with a ton of questions, she repeated herself, trying to confuse me, as opposed to answering my questions. She raised my rebate to $60, then asked me for my credit card number about 40 times, while I was reading these reviews. I told her I didn't feel comfortable with giving my credit card number to some company I never heard of, just to save $60. She kept trying to sell me on the canceling, and only paying the $1 for 1 month, but said I wouldn't get my $60 for a couple months after I filled out all the info they had to mail me. I told her it sounded like a scam, and I wasn't buying it, $60 is a tank of gas. I would rather give up a full tank of gas, than risk these clowns getting a hold of my information.

I was paying my cc bill and noticed a charge on my cc for $14.99 each month for the last 3-months...called the company, no one answers, on hold for 15-20 minutes, and emailed them to cancel this purchase. It is an un-authorized purchase, so be careful, it is a scam. I am not sure where they got my information, but look over your statements carelfully.

Please be very careful about Great Fun it is an automatic sign up from discount car rental companies which charges you each month for its presumed savings on restaraunts and hotels. I cancelled my "Membership" after finding that hteir server blocks any e-mail messages and questions to it. I cancelled with a felly named Jeffery in Manilla Phillipines. If that does't tell you something!
Good luck. see other complaints

Great Fun charged my card without my knowledge or consent

2008 My family and I bought discounted airline tickets thru "priceline.com" to go to AZ. We were also to receive a $30 in rebates just for trying out a 30 day "Great Fun Adventures" membership for discounts on amusement parks, restaurants etc. When we got back from Arizona I called and specifically cancelled the membership. We never received the $30 in rebates until one day we got a check for $9 in the mail. I thought it was from this trial membership company I was exposed to through Priceline. I signed and deposited the check. I thought maybe the $30 in rebates was being paid in installments. Fast forward to today, August 17, 2010. I receive a "membership renewal notice in the mail from some company called "Everyday Priveleges Gold" with a P.O. Box in Nashville, Tennessee saying that if I don't call their toll free number [protected] to cancel the membership they will renew it automatically by charging my credit card for $169.99 for the renewal fee. I called and a young man answered. I wanted to know if they've been charging my credit card every year. He said yes, that it was charged last year in August of 2009. He very sarcastically said that I cashed that $9 check which clearly states that by signing and cashing it I was agreeing to enroll in their membership. I was very irrate and let him know that he is part of a scam. I never one time used their discount offer.

Great Fun I cancelled my membership

I cancelled my membership to TLG Shoppers, a week after I was enrolled into it. The night I enrolled I didn't want the membership, but your salesperson wouldn't accept no as answer, I should have hung up on him but I didn't want to be rude. I expect you to put my money back into my account as you get this email. Because I did cancel my membershup, the coupons that I recieved are no good to me, since I do not drive nor do I live anywhere close to any of the places that the coupons are for. As far as I am concerned you are not honoring the cancelation of my membership. I will thank you in advance for returning my money into my account and to once again cancel my membership, .
Sincerely,
Anita P.Meis

Great Fun unauthorized credit card charges

TLG Live Well is a company that works with 1-800-Flowers to offer discounts to consumers at a membership status. They are not a stranger to this board I've recently discovered. I found they had recently charged my debit card $38.99 for a membership fee that I had never authorized. Apparently, when you accept a 15% off coupon from 1-800-Flowers on your next purchase, it automatically signs you up for this program. A trusting consumer assumes that the coupon is a thank you for shopping on the site, however, its just a hook to process unwanted charges through this secondary site. I called immediately and was welcomed with a suggestion that I use the benefits I've been given since I was charged. Though normally understanding, I replied very calmly that I did not authorize them to sign me up for anything and I don't want any of the coupon offers that the operater was willing to send. He notified me that I would be refunded the money in the next 7 business days and my membership would be cancelled. He sounded very scripted and when I didn't accept his first suggestion, backed down to my response which shows me that he must field these call all day long. This company definitely makes money off people not checking their statements because had I not paid attention, they would have continued to charge me every month. This situation honestly makes me no longer want to buy through 1-800-Flowers. The company has always delivered wonderful service but who wants to worry that if you click the wrong button you'll charged for something you didn't purchase? I'm definitely disappointed in the their affiliation with this kind of scam.

Great Fun customer service

I spent Valentines Day 2010 at a Super 8 in Indiana. Since I had little money, when i was told that I could take enroll in a service called Travelers Advantage for my stay, I thought about it. Not interested in an enrollment, though, I was told that I could use the program once and cancel. Which I did so right after my stay. And they left my account alone for one month then started charging me again behind my back, without my knowledge.
My complaint is almost the exact same as that of another customer on a complaint site, who worded the next part of my experience so well:

"Unbeknownst to me my checking account continued to be accessed by a company calling itself Great Fun. Because of the name I did not immediately pick up on the fact that they were continuing to bill me in spite of my cancellation. For several months I continued to receive checks in the mail which I didn't sign because on the back in very small print it said that endorsement of the check would obligate me to a membership."

This is true in my case as well, except not only is Great Fun, a service for which I had never signed up or used or even heard of, billing me but also Travelers Advantage is taking the same amount as Great Fun at the same time from my bank account. This means that instead of just one or the other charging me $12.50 every month, it is both of them charging me that much each, $25.00, SIMULTANEOUSLY. EVERY MONTH. I didn't initially see this and called once again in June to cancel and get a refund.
I was told that I had actually never called in February and that I needed a confirmation code for them to believe me, which I was not given the first time I called to cancel this service. So, now I was being told I was a liar. The representative danced in circles around my words so that anything I could possibly say would not make a difference to the situation. He told me they canceled my membership and would still not refund me. I STILL GOT BILLED AGAIN IN JULY! I have my bank statements since January to today to prove it.

Now my checking account, because I knew I was low on money the past few months I left it alone and didn't use it, is in the deep negative. I need a refund of my money if I even hope to eat any time soon since I am a full time college student who is on my own and has no money, especially now.

TWICE have I called and canceled these services and STILL I continue to have my money stolen from me, and no one will give me a refund despite the fact that the only- first and last- time I had ever used this service was the one single time after which I promptly canceled in February.
I WILL seek the help from any others who have been scammed, my legal advisors, the attorney general, AND the Better Business Bureau if something is not done. I am still a customer (apparently) and have been treated unfairly. Things here definitely do not smell right.

Great Fun fraudulant charging of credit card

They sent me a voucher for gas and offer discounts for vary items. At first I thought it my be interesting or worth while. but cancelled after a few weeks never using the voucher. They did not stop charging my card - not realizing it they kept charging me. It was until March this year I saw the charges. I called again. They said they would stop. Now I see the charges again last month and this month. I called again they said they see I called in March but could credit my anything, but would stop. They not to be tusted.
The told me someone called in and reauthorized it. The only way to stop this is to close the account.

Great Fun unathurized credit card charges

My story is the same as all the others however, i called the company (when they charged my debit card their phone number was next to the charge) and asked them to cancel and refund the charges. they were very hesitant saying i chose to sign up for tlg (which i did not) and tried to make me feel irresponsible. i told them that they stole my number and i would notify the proper authorities if they did not return my money. they quickly said they would do so. but they r criminals. i didnt trust them so i called my bank so they would stop anymore charges from that company which has worked so far. i still would like to report them to someone (especially b/c in my case they basically stole my credit card number)...anyone have any ideas?

P.S. i will never use 1800flowers again and will make sure everyone i know knows about this scam.

Great Fun unauthorized charges of 11.99 on my bank account

Noticed a charge of $11.99 on my bank statement which i did not recognize. Googled and found that this is a scam. My account has been charged for over a year now. Called my bank they are stopping the next payment and told me to contact this place to try to have reversed. I called the number on my statement and was disconnected due to high call volume. Will keep calling until I get someone. they have robbed almost $200 from my account and I will sue them if needed. I also recall receiving random checks in the mail from this company which I threw out. Watch out and check you statements monthly so that you do not fall victim to this scam.

I was charged for this Great Fun crap on my checking account and I did not authorize it or I did not sign up for it either. They got my account from where I ordered checks online. Every time I call and try to cancel they say they want to keep my account active. I don't want this crap and I can't afford it, and they have me overdraft fees of $40.00 TWICE plus the $12.99 from my account. Iwant it stopped today. This is fraud.

TLG*GREATFN has been charging $11.99 a month for countless months - had no idea what it was, so found a number to call on the web, and after a long wait, spoke to someone. They said they will discontinue this. We shall see. It is a membership to who knows what! In the meantime I was charged for three months without any type of a refund. I contacted CHASE to stop the charges and they referred me to TLG*GREATFN. What a run around!

Great Fun fraud charges

Ok..so I am not good at checking my bank account or balancing a check book..I use mostly cash and keep a mental note of how much I spend when using my debit card. So tonite I am reviewing chargings on my debit card / bank account and find this Great Fun charge. I call them to inquire as to what kind of company this is and when did I establish a membership. The rep said that I have been a member since Dec 2008, remind you it's now May 2010 and they have been charging my card $11.99 every month..ughhh!
I was able to cancel my membership and given a cancellation number and I will be contacting my bank in the morning.
This is obsurd!

Great Fun deceptive and fraudulent practices

I was enrolled in Trilegiant's Great Fun after signing up with truecredit.com to receive my credit report. I called Trilegiant to complain and cancel; the representative said that she would send me a refund check, but that I cannot cancel until I cash it. She assured me that the check would arrive shortly. Two more monthly subscription fees were posted to my credit card before I finally received this "refund." The refund was no refund at all; it was a check that, if I cashed it, would enroll me in another of Trilegiant's clubs: Health Saver.

I have created a petition to stop this company from operating again. Numerous law suits and actions have already been brought against Trilegiant, but Trilegiant continues its practices:

Great Fun unauthorized charge to my credit card

This company charged my credit card $159.99 which was totally unauthorized by me for some kind of warantee service which I never ordered and who was not a memeber of. They claim that I checked a box on Fragrance.net when I made a purchase there. However, I have not made any purchases from this site at all. They claim that I received a $5.oo check in the mail from Frangrance .net and that I apparently cashed it or deposited it (which never happened).
It was a total lie and a scam. As a result I had to report them to my credit card company who promptly canceled my card and reissued me a replacement card with a new account number. I can't understand how they are able and allowed to get away with this scam.

Please beware of this bogus and dishonest company !

Great Fun unauthorized withdrawals

I have a Bank of America credit card that has not been used for 8 months. I received a bill and saw I had a $149.99 automatic withdrawal from TLG ID Secure.
Upon further research I found that this TLG ID Secure had taken an $139.99 this time last year that had escaped my notice.
I have blocked the credit card so there should be no additional withdrawals, however B of A refuses to credit the two bogus transactions ($289.98) back to me due to this being classified as a membership fee.
I told them I never willingly signed up for anything having to do with ID security and after research learn this company has numerous complaints about ripping off consumers. The only way they could have any authorization from me was through deceptive means... perhaps burying the authorization deep in the middle of a 2000 word terms and condition to a product I purchased over a year ago.So at this point it appears I have no recourse but to now file a complaint with B of A through the OCC.
I have always been under the impression that if you use a Visa credit card, and you are scammed and you report the scam withing 60 days, you were protected. Apparently Bank of America has different fraud policies than others?
When does the government intervene to step in and shut TLG ID Secured down, so this doesn't continue to happen?
This is a nightmare... TLG ID Secure rips me off for almost $300, B of A does nothing to help me after all the business I have given them.
I am done!

Great Fun fraudulent charge

I noticed a charge on my bank account for $139.99 to TLGBUYERSADV49, I called the bank and they gave me a phone number to call, [protected]. I called the number and talked to "Kim" who read me a prepared statement when I asked about the charge, every question I asked was met with a scripted response. I asked to speak to a supervisor and was transferred to "Joe", who proceded to tell me I had cashed a $8.00 check from Pedi-Paws on January 20, 2009 which activated a Buyers Advantage membership. I must admit I got kinda hot with him and he assured me he would issue a refund, I also asked for a copy of the check I alledgedly cashed, which he said he would send me and I should receive in 6-8 weeks. We have received these $8.00 checks from a number of sources and immediately shred them, but we did buy a Pedi-Paws unit - and returned it 24 hours after we got it because it was a piece of junk.

My main question is - has anyone taken action to sue people like Pedi-Paws for giving credit card information to a third party? Sounds like these guys are the main culprits and should be shut down along with Buyers Advantage.

Advice - we bought the Pedi-Paws unit using our debit card, which Pedi-Paws obviously shared with Buyers Advantage and enabled Buyers advantage to make the $139.99 charge to our account. Problem is that once that happens you can't stop it because they have their money immediately and you now have to go through a fraudulent charge process. If you buy online use a credit card where you can challenge the charge before paying the credit card bill. Our debit cards have been cancelled and we are awaiting new ones which I can assure you will never be used inline again.

This company got my information thru Expedia.com, they charge me a $1 for a free trial which I didn't approve and I call to make sure that they delete and cancel any membership. This was in November 2017, and today April 2018, 5 months later I notice I have a charge of $16.99!out of the blue they charge me for something that I never want or agree to get, I call and the claim person in charge asked me to verify my account and told me that I have a membership? How they still have all my info and charge me like that out of nothing, totally illegal, if I was a member they would have to bill me for 5 consecutive months, they said that they will refund me the charge "as a courtesy" that is totally incorrect because is not, since they never got the right to charge me and my biggest concern is that it looks that they store all the info and charge you in the future. SCAM! TERRIBLE COMPANY! DISHONEST PLEASE BE AWARE WHEN YOU PURCHASE AIRLINE TICKETS AND DONT GIVE ANY INFORMATION TO 3RD PARTIES.

I have exactly same situation with the story above. I called them, and they told me to give a refund for a partial amount. I hope we can sue the company.

Iowa. The Mill.

This alleged Company, "TLG Buyers Advantage", did the same thing to us. We purchased a Pedi Paws, which we also discovered was of little value.

In the course of purchasing the item we apparently fell afoul of a scam company. We were billed on a credit card for a membership fee to this alleged company. We disputed the charge and closed that card.

A short time later this alleged company had somehow gained access to our checking account debit card number.

I called the alleged company and complained about the charges. I received one refund out of three charges they had made on our debit account.

I asked the male employee how they had gained access to our checking account number? I never received a reply.

I used our land line phone to contact the alleged company. After this call was made, we received never ending harrassment calls from the alleged company up to five calls a day.

We finally had our land line taken out.

Now, on 04-15-2010 this same fraudulent alleged company has once again billed $139.99 on my wife's credit card. We contacted that credit card company and filed a dispute on the charge today. We as well have blocked this alleged company from gaining access to this card and applying any charges to it for at least a year and a half.

I will contact my Bank tommorow to block access to our debit card.

I have also contacted our local law enforcement agency and filed a "fraudulent acts", charge against the alleged company. This company needs to be put out of business, and the people running it need to be in prison.

We all need to contact the state Attorneys General office in your own state, and file a fraud complaint through their consumer affairs division.

Great Fun unauthorized charges

I have been trying to get the charge for 12.99 montly off one of our company credit cards.

Calling the 800 number now gets sex call company auto responder. No way to get to a person.

How do we get a refund? This has been going on a long time.

I would be happy to provide copies of our cc statements back as far as you can help us get a refund for, but not online.

The easiest way to stop this is to report you credit card stolen and have another one issued. I did and, of course, the charges stopped.

Great Fun deceptive practices

Back in January of 09, I ordered flowers through 1-800-flowers. In doing so, somehow I also signed up for something called LiveWell. Since then they have been charging my account $38.99. I do not remember signing up for this, but they say I did. As far as I know, I have received nothing from them. I feel 1-800-Flowers has deceptively conned me and of course am helpless in getting them to return the money they stole.

Anyone in this situation should call Freed & Weiss to join a building class action against the company behind this scam. (It's pretty easy, just call them and tell them your story).

Trilegiant is the company behind this abuse. They use bogus marketing tactics to get people to unknowingly sign up for memberships and then people are charged every month, again and again.

(Tactics include pop-up windows during checkout at another site, text messages with fake gift certificates, bogus checks in the mail, and automated recordings when you pay a bill via phone).

Call Freed & Weiss! Toll free: 866.799.9610. They need to hear from you so that they can move the class action forward and put a stop to this terrible customer abuse.

Great Fun still scamming

TLG Great Fun decided to help themselves to my account and take out $33.99 for I don't know what. When I called the number, they told me I had signed up for their services (I have not received services nor was offered any) when purchasing from Footsmart and I "OK'd" this offer. I told them that even if I had OK'd anything, I still did not give them my account information, nor did I authorize nor approve any payments to be made to them. Earlier this week I received an $11.99 charge from TLG CompHme. Upon calling them I got the same story. Well, needless to say, I will never purchase another product from Footsmart, even though their representative denies that this is a scam. So this is a lesson, don't look at solicitations and, especially, don't take them up on their " offers." They are only looking for your money. They want money for nothing. After giving the reps a hard time, I told them to get a real job because they were only working for a bunch of scammers.

I was just scammed by Footsmart. Do not buy anything form this site! I bought the AcuPoint Foot Massage appliance for a total of $284. The massager worked properly only 4 months! When I called Footsmart, they confirmed they were the manufacturers but unfortunately they did not offer a manufacturer's warranty! Only the 60 day return policy. So basically all the items they sell (including the most expensive equipment) are super expensive disposable items!

Their whole business is just a scam!
