Great Fun I am being charged on my credit card-unsolicitated and have called twice to have my name off the list.

I have contacted these companies at two different time and was rassured I would not be billed for something I have not solicitated. I received my credit card bill and it is still deducting, one dollar and 9.99 on my current statement.

Contact your credit card company. State that you are disputing the charges on your bill & you will need to do it within 30-60 days. Your credit card company will do an investigation concerning the account. If you stopped service then they should stop charging & your credit card company could credit you the amount.

This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

While completing an order on drugstore.com i was sent to this greatfunsite.com not realizing it. It was for an offer of 20.00 off my next order which i thought was drugstore.com. So i signed up and lo and behold it is a program that charges 11.99 a month. Something i am not interested in and want out of immediately. Drugstore.com is a new site to me and i...

Great Fun unauthorized charges!

This company and Great Fun charged my account without my permission. Scammers. They gave me 4 months but would not give me all my money back unless I submitted a request in writing. I have done that so we will see what I get.

Great Fun illegal charges

TLG great fun charged my debit card$12.99. I did not authorize this transaction. When I called them they gave me someone elses name and address with my "account number". I had to tell her several times that this was not me and I did not authorize this. She said she would refund my money, but still tried to sell me other services. I had to hang up on her because she would not take no for an answer. Make sure you check your statements often! I was also out of state when I found it so I was away from home and had no way to get money because I had to cancel my debit card.

I also had this happen. I called and got it canceled and am getting my money back. It turns out I ordered some cosmetics thru Avon and they had a $10 off coupon if you did a survey. I clicked on it to get it but noticed that it was an authorization for this scam. I did back out of it but apparently just clicking was the authorization...so beware!

Just found a charge of $12.99 on my master card. I do not even know who they are. I called after hours and knew that it was a unauthorized charge. I will call my credit card company ASAP... They will not even get a penny from me. I will sue them first.

Great Fun unauthorized billing!

I was billed @ $100.00 on my credit card. The lady said that I cashed some kind of check from them. I told her it was hard to cash a shredded check. After she said she would credit my account she ask if it was ok to keep my account open! I spoke to the supervisor and told her that I would be filing a complaint with the BBB on Wed. Here is the information I have so for on the company.

Yes, I absolutely agree that this TLG Great Fun is a big scam. I am also a victim on it. They charge me $11.99 a month . I'm been paying this amount for 5 months without my knowledge. So I called my bank and they gave me the TLG Phone No. They said they are goin to refund and will stop charging me that amount. Let's see coz until now i receive NO refund yet.

What a scam.. I don't know how they can get away with this..

They started charging me $12.99 every month.
I contacted them, and they would give credit of $25.98 (last two months). I understand that you can only get credit for the last two months. Watch your statements for unknown charges or you may not get all your money back.

They told me I would see the credit on my charge card bill in two weeks. I hope this is true...

Great Fun unauthorized charge of my credit card

Great Fun, an entity I never heard of before, charged my creditcard with $12.99. I called [protected] to protest the charge. The person whom I talked to promised that he would remove the charge and gave me a confirmation number of my complaint: W53344808030. That was a lie: The charge with a different date appeared on the next statement. The credit care co. would not stop payment after we reported the fraud. The only thing the card company can do to change our account number. And the scam artists keep my money and are having Great Fun as their name promised. Is there no remedy against the dastardly acts of these crooks?

My granddaughter had a $119.99 charge on her acccount. When I called they said she had sent in a $10.00 rebate form for Great Fun and she would be a member unless she cancelled within 30days. This was a downright lie. She never sent anything in. She never noticed this on her account since she is an out of town college student and the statements are sent diretly to my home. I called them because they had sent a post card saying her memberhip would be renewed unless she called to cancel by 12/08/08. I called and they gave me a cancellation number. I asked to speak to a supervisor who identified herself as "DEE DEE" and said she would reimburse the account in about ten to fifteen days. If this credit does not come through I will contact the state attorney general's office to file a report.

They just got me for $59.99. When I called, they told me that I had cashed a check that had been enclosed in my Chase credit card statement. This check was my agreement to enroll. Well, I did no such thing. They said they would remove the charge and send me a copy of the check that I supposedly cashed. I'll let you know if it ever arrives. In the meantime, I canceled my Chase credit card account. I asked the lady that I talked to at TLG, Rhonda, if she had ever Googled her company. She says that she is aware of all the bad press and that it's the fault of all the companies that sell the TLG services, not TLG itself. Whoooeeee, the smell of baloney is very strong.

Great Fun stealing from my checking account!

I have been charged $9.99 for at least 13 months and never realized what it was. Called the company, TLG Great Fun, and they told me I signed up for their services. I asked what the services were and was given no answer. I told the lady to credit my account for all charges and to discontinue the charges. She just mumbled around and then hung up on me. This company is a SCAM and a stop should be put on them. If I do not get my money back, plus 2 overdraft fees of $35. oo, I will contact my lawyer and have them prosecuted. I NEVER sign up for services, online or over the phone, so I know I did not give permission for money to be taken from my account every month!

I just had the fraud dept of my bank refund all the tlg great fun charges on my acct with my bank statements and dates. Problem is, I didn't have ALL my bank statements so I could only get refunds on the ones I had. Still I know they have been charging this bogus charge for over a year! My fault for not taking action sooner but you just figure it's a parking meter or some obscure company which handles another service...that is what they count on! I am going to forward this website with complaints to the BBB and my local bank so they can be made aware. When you add it all up they probably ripped me off a flight to Europe or Mexico! Grrrrrrrrrrr.

I just called TCF great fun... the number that was attached to the $11.99 charge on my credit card statement. The representative was persistent that I had signed up for this FRAUDULENT service and explain there was no way I was going to receive a refund of the 4 previous months that were charged. He said I signed up for the service at Shoebuy.com. I have never purchased anything or have even visited shoebuy.com.
I demanded to speak to his superior. He explained that I would have a 30 minute wait time. 2 minutes later a new rep came on the phone. He was just a rude. Therefore I remained persistent and aggitated and demanded my refund and cancellation of whatever service they have.
My refund is suppose to be credited in 10-15 days... We'll see!

My complaint is like everyone elses. This company charged my accout for $11.99 for the past 3 months and I just now realized it. I did not sign up for anything through them. Whats the "service"? I can't get anyone who answers the phone to give me a straight answer. FRAUD! They also sent me a "check" for $9 and on the back it says this is an enrollment offer and by cashing the check I agree to pay them even more money throughout the next 12 months! Again, What's the service?

I just recently was charged $119.99 for this "apparent" service that I never signed up for. I actually called them 3 times to cancel my "membership" they stated that I had with them and still couldn't get a cancellation code! Luckily on the 4th attempt when being a disgruntled "Customer" I was able to get this code and a full refund.

For everyone's Special Attention (SA) their number is [protected]. You should have to get a code that starts with R.

This company is ###ic and will continiously attempt to sell you something when trying to attempt to cancel! I hate ###ed people and companies that want to take advantage. Honestly, I think the BBB should wipe them off the planet!

Great Fun I am about to report them to the better business bureau

This company has charged me for 10 months $9.99 on my credit card and I had no idea who was charging me or what the charges were for. My credit card company told me to call them and tell them to cancel immediately and that I did not authorize monthly payment. I did, and they said I signed up for their "service" which sounds like "discounts" on what I'm still not sure. They said I authorized this when I placed an Avon order. I said I would never have done so and I wanted reimbursement to my credit card for the 10 months they charged me. They said I had to fax their company (which I did a month ago) and still have not had $100 worth of payments reimbursed. What a scam. I am about to report them to the Better Business Bureau.

Fun, Inc or the other handful of names they operate under is a scamming business that has been stealing $12.99 out of my 89 year old neighbors’ checking account for 48 months! They claim he signed up for their discount membership club when he ordered replacement checks through Checks in the Mail. When he first discovered this charge happening back in 2007 he contacted them to find out who they were and why were they debiting his account, he then requested that they stop as he never intentionally ordered this so called membership service nor did he ever receive a membership number or any information about this so called membership. Well, they did stop for a month and then they got back into his account and kept stealing $12.99 until I happen to catch it on his statement while helping him pay his bills as he's been in the hospital with surgeries. It turns out they do this to millions of unsuspecting people.

We need to complain to the companies that are facilitating this con from happening. In this case it was hidden in the Checks In The Mail submission when ordering replacement checks, others have had it occur with True Credit, rent a cars, airline purchases, etc... I would think that these companies wouldn’t want this negative association with this thieving and outright deceptive Fun Incorporated or whatever the name they are using at the time. Then State-by State we need to report this to every Attorney General office. They were working in legislative changes that were supposed to stop reoccurring debit charges from scamming unsuspecting people.

I too have been had by these people. I was paying my credit card on line last night and saw a charge for 11.99 pending. I looked into it and found out that since Feb they have been billing me. I called them this morning and the cust service rep told me that she could only refund me 20.00 some dollars and not the full amount b/c she couldn't identify me. What is funny is when I first called and gave them the numbers after the charge she identified me. Apparently she told me that they were on a site I visited (True Credit) and I selected them from it. The only thing I remember is selecting a button that said I could save 20% off and I hit yes. That is all I did. I had her cancel the so called membership and after she did she told me that she has been fielding numerous complaint calls and wishes she could refund my full amount! What? Then do it. I told her about this page and she was aware of it. Someone somewhere needs to look into this business and shut them down.

I have been trying to call them all morning and still haven't been able to speak to anyone. HOW CAN THEY GET AWAY WITH STEALING PEOPLES INFORMATION AND USING IT.

I ignore what kind of company is but in my account appears one unauthorized charge for the amount of $ 11.99. I called 5 times 1-866-363-8258 in connecticut usa and operator or answering service put me on hold for 1 hour & 20 minutes and nobody attend me. Why that kind of company is not seized by us government and put in jail from owners to all employees?

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...

Great Fun identical websites

I found out that Great Fun has 2 identical websites. When I googled Greatfun, the 1st that popped out was greatfunonline.com, couldn't log in. I called customer service, came to find out that their real website is greatfunsite.com. So, those who have no security protection in their PC's must have been logging in at the fraudulent website and had their personal info stolen.

Watch out!

Great Fun underhanded business practices!

I had a Juniper/Barclays bank credit card. Soon thereafter I received a check for $8 included in my statement. My husband assumed it was a rebate or rewards check and deposited it in our bank along with our other deposits. Soon thereafter I rec'd a packet in the mail telling me I had enrolled in Auto Vantage (a towing company). They deducted $119.99 from my credit card. I called and threatened to file a complaint with the attorney general's office if they did not reverse the charge. The said they would and gave me a cancellation number. This happened again a charge of $119.99 to that same credit card. I called again and they stated by depositing that check and not reading the fine print on the back I had signed up for TLG Great Fun. I have up to now canceled this thing 5 times. Each time I get a cancellation number and each time when I call back that number is not in their computer along with any indication that I had called at all. I have finally figured out that this company has about 20 different programs and this could go on forever. I have canceled my Jumiper credit card because they are the ones who sent this check in my statement. Each time I have called I have ended up in another part of the country, and several times in Manilla, Phillipines.

I did find out their fax number in Irvine and am tempted to fax them several hundred times to let them know just how I feel about their whole scam... Maybe some of you have had the same experience then I say don't bother to call fax them at [protected]...

I have gone through the first step on this scam. I ordered from Haband something with a $5 refund. I received a check for $5 and assumed it was the refund and cashed it. Did not read the back. Later I received two more checks for $10 that I didn't expect. Then I read the small print on the back and tore up the checks. The print was so small that I could hardly read it. Called Visa. They called AutoVantage and I spoke with them with Visa listening. They tried to sell me the membership, but I insisted on a refund. Then they shifted me to the "Refund Dept." and I got a refund number. Now I suppose they will not actually refund my $149.99, and I have to take more action. The company is clever enough to have a refund department that makes Visa think that the complaint has been settled, and so Visa will not put the charge in dispute. We'll see what happens next, but I'm not giving up.

I've received a check from my credit card company. There was a small print on the back stating that after the check is cashed or deposited, there would be a charge of $119 to the card. Although these checks STILL keep coming, I plan to cancel it on the expiration year before I get another card again from them.

Over the past five months I have seen a $9.99 charge on my credit card that I had no idea what it was for. I finally found out where it originally came from. I booked airline tickets online and was offered a 20% discount. Don"t do it!!! When you click on the"yes"button for the discount it signs you up for a"membership" to this tlg great fun company. There...

Great Fun fraud and cheating!

I have been paying $11.00 a month for this "membership" and was sent a membership card, but I cannot access this site. I was told I'd receive a gas card when I joined, but I have never received one. We are going to be traveling and I was trying to locate some discounts for restaurants, but when I pull up GreatFun.com all I am able to get to is a solicitation to join for $9.99 a month with a $20.00 card for a meal. I imagine the meal card is much like the non-existent gas card I received!

I found a site that list the same number on the back of the card to cancel membership [protected]). I never received my gas card either. I tried to find establishments that would accept this card and none in my area do! STAY AWAY FROM THIS SITE AND THIS CARD!

I signed up for this Great Fun when it offered a rebate and a card to get discounts at restaurants. At no time did I agree to have any money taken from any of my accounts as the site implied this was a free service. After reading all these complaints, I tried to cancel my membership and there is no way to do this.

Can you help me?

Great Fun trying to steal money from my visa

We were charged $79.99 on a recent Visa bill, from “Great Fun”. I found Great Fun on the web, called and canceled what they called a “new membership” in their travel club. I called Visa and complained about the charge. They canceled the payment, and told me that I have to be careful in certain websites, that I don’t inadvertently sign up for a club like this by NOT unchecking a box where I am agreeing to join.

I checked my records, and noticed that I signed up for this club the same day I purchased something from Amazon. Can they legally do this?
