fraudulent charges
I noticed a chage of $159.99 on my last statement for my Chase Visa. I called the number on the statement for the vendor and asked what it was for. They told me that it was my annual fee for emergency car service. I said I had never ordered it. They insisted that I had signed up in 2007 by endorsing a check for $9.00. I said I would not have done that and insisted that they remove the charge. They offered me $80 in coupons for my utility bills. I said no, I just want a credit for the full amount they charged my Visa. They said they would credit me for $121, which was "prorated". I complained to CHASE and they said I could not file a dispute because this was one of their "third party vendors"! I asked Chase to advise me of any other charges from this vendor. I was told there was the same charge made in Dec. 2008.
A few days later, after I received the $121 credit, I called TLG and insisted on a full credit. They explained that it had been "prorated" - I insisted that I wanted a full refund because I never signed up for their service - I asked for a copy of the check I had supposedly endorsed. The sweet-voiced woman said "Yes, of course, we'll send that out to you at this address...let me transfer you to a supervisor." I then spoke with a man who asked me what I wanted, and I told him I wanted a full refund of the $159.99 not only for this year but for last year, because I never signed up for this. He said okay! You will receive a full refund for both years withing the next 2 weeks. So I will check back and make sure that happens.
I think the bottom line is that if they think you will make trouble for them, by going to the BBB or taking them to Small Claims Court (which was my plan) - they will give your money back just to silence you. After all, there are millions of other suckers out there that they are ripping off. They really should be stopped, but at least it's good to know you can get your money back if you are obnoxious enough!

unarthurized charges
I have had a charge for the 139.00 on my debit card that was not authorized then when I called and complained they refunded only 125.37 and the very next day same company but by the name TLG*ShoppersAdv 4803 charged my debit card the whole amount of 139.99. After a complaint and threat to call the Bank they said they would only refund 125.37 on the first charge because I had it for a day on my card which was just an excuse. Now they have the next business day without authorization charged my debit card again for the full amount. I am filing a complaint as well with the BBB and posting a bunch of website hits on the company if I do not get my money the full amount refunded back to me including the 14.62 that I did not get the first time back. I am calling a lawyer and filing a suite against this company for wrongful unauthorized charges on my account. Sincerely

TGL*GREATFN is charging my debit card $11.99 evey month I dont know were I got this charge from but I just want it to stop! and I dont know how to go about it.

Erroneous $11.99 credit charge on my Visa statement posted for Oct. 6, 2008. I was in Florida from Oct. 3 thru Oct. 11 and was not even connected to the internet. I don't know how they did it. My credit card company will make it right. I'll call them tomorrow.
I just called [protected] and asked for a full refund for five months charges of $12.99. I was told that I had signed up through my purchase through Shoe.com. After I explained that I did not knowingly sign up, "Julia" stated that I will receive a full refund.
Good Luck.
didn't sign or ok anything
I was checking my credit statement out & notice that I had two charges for $11.99 from tlg*greatfn. I never heard of them and never sign up anything form that company. so i called my credit card company to explained what happen- they gave me the phone number to call them and get this straight out. So I got credit for two months at first. Then I went back for a yr. on my statements- I found out they have been charging me for over a yr- 11.99 a month. Now I have to write a letter to them to get the other 11 months credit-which come up to $131.89. Boy if that isn't a scam. I'm going to fight to the end to get that credit. I'm going to report them to the Better Buisness Bureau. They have to be stopped.
debit card activity
This morning 1/26/2010 i found a pending charge of 14.99 on my bank activity from my Debit Card. I did not authorize this, the bank told me to contact the merchant i called the number no-one would take my call. I have never been on this site Great Fun until i had to look into this problem. I have discovered its a scam and people all over not just United States are having a problem with these debit cards deduction. I have been told to close out my bank account and get a new one so i'm not a victim again to whatever information these people have accessed on me.

There an unauthorized charge on my account for $12.99 from this business. I've never heard about this company, which i don't understand why and what the are charging me for.
i keep getting charged anywhere from 10 to 15 dollars from this company. i called the 877 number and no answer. i never gave them the right to charge me anything, i dont even know who this is.
Me too I just spoke to Chase bank about 2 charges on my account!
What company is this & how are they able to do this?
What info have you found on them?
identity theft
I have received multiple illegal charges to my credit card in the amount of $14.99 each month being paid to "TLG Great Fun " for the past several months that have not been authorized. This has happened before and the only way that I could stop it was to cancel my credit card. Is that what I am going to be forced to do again. If this is the case then I am definitely becoming wary of credit cards. what
I think that all who have had similar unauthorized charges need to come together so that we can file a Class Action Suit against this company. Not that we will get our money back but so that we can cost the company a lot of money. This is also fraud which comprises that of a Felony.

unauthorized charge
I purchased some CD's in California, the clerk said I would get a discount if I joined the VIP club and that it was a one time charge. FYE charged me $11.99 a month for 3 months before I caught it and had it stopped. They won't give a refund. Do NOT shop at FYE, they are a rip-off. Let's get a class action suit going to get everyone's money back from this scam!!
Read full review of Great Fun and 10 commentsunsolicited debit card charges
I really have no idea what "the category of my complaint" is since I neither solicited nor received any services. Last year, we ordered shoes from shoebuy.com. We never signed up for TLG Great Fun. However, they started charging our debit card $11.99 each month unbeknown to us. After 13 months and $155.87 total charges, we finally wised up and contacted our bank. This company is a scam. We have no idea what service they often if any. They are a subsidiary of the Affinion Group headquartered in Norwalk, CT. Call the corporate office at [protected] or [protected] if you have been ripped off by this company. Demand repayment. Stop the abuse!

I cancelled this membership today and I do not remember signing up for it. I can't believe how easy it was for them to get me to use this. I just don't remember joining. Whatever you do look at everything before you click. They got $32 from me and I am disabled and could not afford this.

This 14.99 and five past monthly charges were not authorized by me and have tapped into my bank account somehow. They told me to fax complaint to a number and I would get a response in 4-6 weeks. Very upset
The charge of 12.99 was put on my company's Corperate credit card. I have never even heard of your company. This needs to be removed immediately!
I did not ask their membership. but they charged to my credit card account.
i do not want this membership, do not know how I got, it did not ask for it,
please remove my name from all of your records.
thanks

fraudulent membership
Check your credit card statements! Esp if you've ordered flowers through 1-800Flowers.com. TLG is an affiliate of 1-800Flowers.com and when you order flowers if you choose to receive a rebate on your order you will inadvertently be signed up for a bogus membership w/TLG Live Well. The membership is worthless, provides no service whatsoever and no communication to it's members. It will however charge your credit monthly fees. I have been charged twice a month by them since January: 1 charge of $12.99 and one of $38.99 each month. I should have been more diligent, no doubt but that doesn't excuse this theft. I have contacted both TLG Live Well and 1-800Flowers.com and neither is willing to help so I've initiated disputes for the charges. If anyone knows of a current class action suit against either company please provide info. In the meantime, buy your flowers elsewhere!

We were hot when discovering these charges. Many times these fraudulent companies sign you up for a free membership that you have to opt out of. If you don't opt out, then you're charged a membership fee. The problem is, nobody tells you that this has happened.
My wife odered prints though Shutterfly and was charged $38.99 for a Live Well membership. We turned them into American Express for fraudulent charges on our card.
Please contact Freed & Weiss right away!
Hope this helps!

unauthorized withdrawal from checking account
I canceled this months ago and checked my account and realized that they are taking money out of my checking account - unauthorized. How do I stop this. I am unemployed and need all money available to me...what do I do? Tell anyone who will listen this is a scam. I canceled as soon as I joined pretty much and now they are taking money out... Now I have to go through the hassle of fighting with the bank and trying to get in touch with these thieves... HOW ARE THEY DOING THIS AND WHY ARE THEY ALLOWED TO BE OPEN!
I dont know if you have gotten your problem fixed yet or not, but I had the same problem and I went to my bank and told them what was going on. They have sent me a new debit card with a new number. They told me that any charges that comes through with my old debit card number would not be excepted. They have to have my new number. So you might want to try that if you are still having problems with TLG.
unauthorized multiple charges
I have been getting charges on my debit card for many months now from tlg shopper and tlg greatfun. I have never heard of these companies before and when I saw that they were taking out $12.99 every month for each company I called to cancel. They are still charging me. HELP I am a mother of 3 girls, 1 being 3 months old. I can't afford to be giving them $25.98 every month for something I never authorized. That is a package of diapers and wipes. Any luck out there cancelling with these companies.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I let my husband use my debit card to rent a Budget truck so we could get out of Indiana and I did not authorize TLG to sign me up for some dumb shoppers junk or whatever when it is HARD ENOUGH just trying to put groceries in the house. The company refused refund/credit saying I was ineligible even though I signed NOTHING! I was charged $15.99 three times! Even my bank W******a said b/c it was on the Visa logo card that they could not dispute it! Banks get bailouts while we get shafted by everybody!
did anyone find out how to stop this? we have been getting this on our credit card too.
I, too, have been having withdrawals out of my checking account from both TLG shopper and Great Fun! These were without my permission and when I called to cancel they referred me to check out their site before doing so. I have never been on their site and do not plan to. I want my money back from all their charges. I am a stay at home mother and need this money for groceries instead of percentages off of entertainment! Is there any help out there for canceling with these companies and receiving my money back that they debited without my permission!
I am dealing with this issue right now. I was transferred to TLG when booking a hotel room. I was told that I would receive a bunch of gift certificates for trying out the service. I never received an enrollment packet or anything from this company. This nightmare started in November and is still going on today June 24, 2010. I immediately cancelled the service in December; however, I noticed that I was charged for the service again the next month. There was no phone number and I could not reach TLG. My bank did contact this company regarding fradulent services. I was not charged for the service the following month; however, in February, I was charged twice for the service. Once again I filed a fradulent dispute. The bank contacted Tlg. Every month since then, I have been dealing with these charges. My bank has sent me four replacement checkcards and low and behold, this place is still able to access the new cards and charge me. I just looked at my statement today and saw another charge. How the hell are they able to do this; I'll never know. My advice, if someone transfers you to a third party HANG UP THE DAMN PHONE!
Signed,
a very upset customer

These people are crooks. Similar situation to the guy above...$159.99 charged on my credit card for auto insurance and I don't even own a car! How they got my "authorization" is beyond me. Talked to the clowns and they assured me the charge would be removed. I repeat, TLG AUTO are CROOKS! Better Business Bureau will be hearing from me.

Trilegiant Scam: HELP STOP IT!
Trilegiant is behind more consumer abuse. Take action and contact Freed & Weiss - info @ freedweiss (dot) com (No Spaces), or call, toll free 866.779.9610
La Patti,
Have your received your refund yet? Wow, yours is a real rip-off! We somehow got the $14.99 per month since 09/09 for some sort of membership. Called them last week and was able to get 4 out of 6 months to be refunded. The remaining 2 months requires a written request...just another bull s_it annoyance if you know what I mean. Anyway, the night I spent reading about these scams...and there are numerous ones going on...I noticed an ad in the right margin from the law firm Shepherd, Finkelman, Miller & Shah offering information about Trilegiant. I emailed the law firm my story that night and received a reply a couple of days later asking me if I'd be interested in speaking to one of their attorneys. After researching the firm and finding them to be legit, I agreed to the call which happened today. I'm so glad I wrote them. These practices must be stopped once and for all. If everyone who has been scammed by these creeps got together I'm sure it would be a formidable group of very cranky victims.
For anyone who has not received COMPLETE resolution to any of these Trilegiant scams which involves about 14 entities, you have a friend in your corner. You have nothing to loose and everything to gain. Don't stop until you get every penny back they stole from you.
