Great Fun review: charging my account without authorization 183

I, too, was charged $12.99 on my credit card - I did not authorize any purchases; don"t know where or who they are.

I book a stay at the travel lodge online. I got a pop up from Travelers Advantage for a great offer giving me the money back I spent on my reservation that booking, etc. of course I was skeptical about it, so I used my cell phone to call Travellodge (room I was staying at) and ask 1 million questions to be sure they were familiar with Travelers Advantage, they turned out legit. So I accepted, and made sure I copied the transcripts from our conversation, just incase there was something tricky in the deal.
After forever I got my rebate (for the room I booked that night). I ened up canceling my account, only to notice that i was still getting charged every month turns out GREAT FUN got ahold to my credit card information, and had been going to town. I called and called the number that was provided with the debits they were making, automated system, many prompts, and finally a hang up. I contacted my bank again and thought I was making sure they put a stop to this company STEALING my money. thing just told me to log on and go through my statements (which i never really look at, i often check my balance, which never seem obviously off, but was) THESE UNKNOWN PEOPLE ARE STILL DEBITING MY ACCOUNT, AND HAVE BEEN SINCE LATE 2007. I was furious, and I finally got travelers advantage the company I did sign up with the spill the beans. They both are two companies under one umberella. They gave me a number and I finally got a hold to someone, they gave me one or two ridiculous reasons why they were taking my money, not knowing that I copied the transcripts from my offer. They have promised to give me four months of my money back. Am I grateful? Absolutely. Is that enough? Not hardly. I want every red cent they STOLE, going back into 2007 and I want to make sure they dont steal from another person.

I didn't know how they were charging with out knowing to me from my credit card. This is is big scam company... Please take action against this company...

How can they randomly charge my credit card? How do they continue to do this to other people? Luckily I had a chance to block the account before the creeps got my money!

Please can you cancel membership if any between us because I have notice charges to my Credit Card Account number [protected] which is unauthorised. Thank you

My bank charged my account an over draft charge because i didn't have the money in the account because i didn't know about it.

Got my credit card for 119.99 and just found out 2 weeks after. Am calling now to resolve but they deny lots of info on how they got my number. Credit card company barclays is just as dumb claiming no knowledge of TLG. Looking on internet now theres pages of complaints for TLG.

This company charged my card and I dont know how they got the number so I went to my bank and we are going to find out how they stole this info and put a stop on this fraud. this is fraud and if I dont get my money back I will go to the feds and file a formal complaint. and I mean today not 10 to 15 days from now. I will have someone in jail for this. who are you and how did you get me card number. I will sue you to.so get on it or the law will be notified.

Stop debiting my account. i have not authorize you to charge any money in my account .. this is a fraud

Good people: Do all these charges come through a JC Penny 'Family Rewards' program?
I found that an unauthorized charge on my credit card was actually from Penny's for
this 'discount service' every month. I did not even authorize that. I also recieved a bill
from Pain Vanish for a product I did not order.
Probably you wouldn't be reading this unless you've already had problems, so this email
won't prevent that, but there's safety in numbers, and we must stand together and let the
'scammers' know we're onto them.

You have been notified to cancel the account that was NOT set up by my husband or my self. The bank has been notified and you have as well.

I want to cancel this membership. When I try to find them online, I find complaint sites re: this "company". Rip off is the keyword for these websites. When I call the ph.# on my credit card, listed before the charge of $11.99, I get something having nothing to do with the company. The other charge is from TLG Shopper for $11.99 and that ph.# leads to a car dealership.

The same thing happened to me - unauthorized use of my credit card. "Great Fun" owned by the Trilegiant Corporation would not consider refunding my money. The only thing that worked was filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau at http//www.connecticut.bbb.org. I also filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission. After some back and forth denial on their part, they ultimately refunded all of the monthly charges for almost a year.

i have been charged and did not approve it . please return my money thank you

Tlg great fun comes with priceline. They are experts on doing fradulent charges, its just a pop-up. I recently had $11.99 charged to my visa, I called my bank right away and told them it was a fradulent charge. They took right off. All you have to do it report the company and tell them is fradulent. They do this to anyone that buys anything off of priceline.

I know they have been taking money from my bank acct but I now want it stopped and don't knoe exactly how to go about it. Would appreciate if you could help me out. Thanks

How do you get ahold of that company. They are charging my credit card also.

I receive a charge forGreat Fun on my account for $11.99 Customer rep said I had purchase something that offered a rebate I told I wanted it cancelled so they did let's see if it works . The funny thing is I have not purchased anything. This is shady business

To Whom this May Concern
I don't know who or what this company is but this company came up on my bank statement with a charge of $ 11.99. If you can please contact me to resolve this issue I wi'll appericate it.
Thank you

they have been talking out money from my checking account without my conceny, want it stop as of rigt know.I don't even know who they are. want the money put back or I will do whatever I have to do.my conformation number is 27154300Aug

I have a charge on my Amex I did not authorize this. What the hell is Tlg great Fun... I have no idea what this is...

I purchased an account with classmates.com and apparently when I did I somehow was signed up for an "account" with TLG Great Fun. I never authorized the three charges for $12.99 that were posted to my credit card. In fact I caught the second charge on the card and telephoned the credit card company. It was a weekend and while we were trying to figure it out TLG got me a third time. I cancelled the credit card. Monday morning I telephoned TLG Great Fun, cancelled the TLG "account" and demanded my money back, telling them I had never authorized the account. The TLG Great Fun service people I spoke with refused to refund my money. I persisted and the parent company, Trilegiant Corporation, sent me a form to fill out for a "request" for a refund. I returned the form. I am going to submit the complaint to the Consumer Advocate of my States Attorney's Office regardless of what happens. I am not holding my breath that they will give up my $38.97 voluntarily. I suggest anybody who has similar problems with TLG Great Fun contact their States Attorney's office. Anthony John.

This is what their fine print says. Thank you for alerting me while I'm still on time.

hey all iim like you guys got charges without knowledge email me fols and lets get together to start a petition or something to get wats ours! this is wrong! if your with me email me at madiles2000@yahoo.com lets get these ###!

This company slips in when you are making a purchase online and their page comes up with "How would like to save 15% on your next purchase?" Your charge card which is open, then is copied and suddenly you are billed, in my case, 12.95 each month! I complained and threatened to report them to every organization I could think of including Senior Abuse! They first offered two months refund, then six then finally the entire 12 months refund. I am waiting for my next statement. You never receive anything for the so-called membership. I will inform my charge company if the refund is not given.

I was charged 11.99 for this and I didn't even sign up. I think this is unfair !

lI was also charged 11.99 fraudently .what recourse do we have to persue legal action?

Illegitimate withdrawal of funds from a debit account. It is simply hard to believe no one can stop this scam organization from doing this.

Thanks for the phone numbers to these two companies. I just found charges on my VISA from both TLG Complete Homeowner and TLG Great Fun for $12.99 each. At this time, the charges are pending so the bank could not give me their phone numbers. What other action can be taken to continue to alert the public to this fraud and get this company closed? I am also a member of Classmates.com. I'm going to start by contacting the Better Business Burea.

It seems to be there has to be a better screening process via credit card charges. Also I do not plan to join any other organization unless I know they will not sell my banking info.

Im going to write to the Readers Digest/That's Outrageous article. Any other suggestions, please post.

Sincerely,
L.B. Jacobs

it happened to me too like right now, I am planning on closing the bank account and open a new one...that's the only option you have left if they keep taking money out of your bank...good luck

For the past 6 months this this company has withdrawn $14.99 from my account. I don't know how they are getting away with this. I have not received anything from this company now have I bought anything. I want this stopped ASAP.

Seems to be a scam when booking airline tickets thru Hot Wire?! That's just a guess. They have been charging my credit card $12.99 for several months. Probably a checked box that was overlooked. I called and cancelled and am now awaiting paperwork to get reimbursed for past payments. This is no fun at all. Shame on them for being so sneaky!

I was charged 15.99 from a company I have never any business with. I called, but answer on the weekends. If there is a fine print scam endorsed by discount websites, they should be held accountable as well. With the economic problems of today, this is unethical and immoral of these companies to do to main street American people. A law suit should be started for this unbelieveable scam. it should be considered FRAUD!

I was ripped-off by ALG-whatever. I just bought Tickets through Cheap Tickets, last December, only to now realize that $11.99 is being deducted from my bank account. I never signed up for anything. I never received anything. So far I am out $119.90. I’m out of the country now, so it’s going to be an expensive task to try and retrieve those unauthorized payments. I’ll be sure and Youtube it too.

A charge of $36.99 showed up on my bank account. I havwe no idea why, who this is, or how this occurred. Can you help?

RIP-OFF, STEALING MONEY FROM CONSUMER. UNAUTHORIZED CHARGES $11.99 FOR 2 MONTHS. BE WARE OF TLG SHOPPERS TOO, THEY ARE THE SAME.

Charged 12.99 Great Fun membership fee. Called card company. Said for office Supplies AKA cendant corp.

I just noticed a charge on my card for $11.99. This was on my card twice this month, once last month, and the month before.
I called the number listed on my charge card statement and it says its been disconnected.

i have also been ripped off by this company after booking airline tickets on hotwire. cancelation#sg202871020.Only noticed it after 3 monthes.
