Great Fun
Reviews and Complaints

I logged into my online banking tonight and saw a charge from TLG*GREATFN8 for $14.99. I didn't recognize this charge so googled the name and found numerous complaints. I've since transferred all funds out of that account until I can talk to the bank.

These people are like a rash that won't go away!

After three separate requests to stop my memberships and stop billing my credit card they continue to bill me. they give me confirmation numbers each time and then the "conveniently" lose the record, so there are no records of my cvalls to cancel.

And citi bank is just as bad - I ask them to stop charging to my account, and they say "sorry, talk to the vendor." and for this I get to pay them interest.

My advice - avoid citi bank and avoid great fun unless you want to be taken for a ride. what they are doing amounts to interstate fraud as they are not in my home state. so if the bill is not cancelled this month, I am reporting them to the state controller, and to the feds.

TLG CHARGED MY ACCOUNT 12.99 AND I DIDN'T KNOW THEY WERE GOING TO CHARGE ME. I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHEN I JOINED THE DAMN SERVICE. I FLY WITH HOTWIRE AND IT SEEMS THAT IS WHEN THEY STUCK ME WITH THIS HIDDEN CHARGE. MY ACCOUNT DID NOT OVERDRAFT BUT CAME CLOSE. I WANT THIS CANCELLED TODAY! MY CANCELLATION NUMBER IS Z09343303215. I BETTER NOT GET ANOTHER CHARGE, I WILL GET MY MONEY BACK!

I got charges to my credit card account each for $11.99 from JUL-DEC2009, all from the TLG company. I called TLG and and speak to a supervisor and said, she can only refund me $47.96 out of $71.94. Not bad I will get some of it but this is a scam. I have no idea not until they told me that purchased an airline ticket from Priceline.

I noticed a charge on my credit card which posted 10/16/2009. I couldn't identify the purchase. I looked up your website and I am quite sure I did NOT order your discount service. I don't know for sure how you got my credit card number, but I remember getting calls at work (sometimes daily) from a company who knew I had a Union Plus credit card and wanted to offer me a special deal of some sort. I believe that company is yours.

I never did order, nor would I ever would order the "discount service" you provide. I regard services like yours as rip-offs. It's possible one of your off-shore phone pests mistakenly recorded my answer as "yes." That would be a generous assumption on my part.

Please reverse this charge against my credit card immediately:

10/16/2009 TLG*GREAT FUN [protected] [protected] CT $149.99

I saw this charge on my BOA credit card on 11/18 and cancelled the card for the second time in 3 months. I did not give my expressed informed consent either time. I routinely charge to netflix, itunes, and virgin mobile and will now stop using all 3. Suspect that TLG*Great Fun stole or bought from one of these. I do not use any travel sites at all. Anybody else notice anything similar ? If anybody has there corporate address for Attorney General complaints, I would be more than grateful. Please send to your AG, the state of the companies AG, and FTC.gov, as

well as responding to your credit card companies written response address. Short of that, all you can do is cancel your card ?

Unauthorized credit card charge on 11/13/09 for $12.99. Also TIG*livewell put through an Unauthorized charge for the same amount on the same day.

11/15/09 My husband just showed me our credit card bill with $11.99 fee for a company TLG GreatFun.
I have never heard of this company or purchased anything from them.. We looked at our old statements and found them on Sept. and Oct bills! I called my Credit Card Company, they told me to cancle the account and get a new card to stop the charges and I am going to dispute the ones already on my card.

How can these people keep doing business scamming people ? There are 27 pages of complaints here on the web. What can we do to stop this?

Be Ware of Scammers TLG Great Fun.

Like the stories i have read. I to am a victim to this loan company, TLG loans.. I applyed for a loan on line to clear my debts and have a fresh start. This company got in touch with me and said they could help. They said I have been approved which I was happy about. They took my bank details to verify who i was and sent me a form to return and sign. There was no mention of any charges and to my disgust they took out 199 pounds which they said was an arrangment fee. They took this out before i received the letter which stated they require an up front payment. I called them and challenged them about this but they said they couldnt refund the money. I mean come on would anyone pay £200 for something they might not get. I wouldnt! Thats why they took it anyway. Now their number has been 'dis-conected' funny that.. i want and will get my money back. someone help me!

Hello, I am trying to contact greatfun to cancel my subscription? I received an address to cancel and I am sending a letter in the morning. My only option at this time is to have my Bank stop the automatic withdraw from my bank acct.
I would think i could stop it on line, but I don't find any options to do so.
I keep getting letters with a check stating I can cash it, but it will mean I have to pay More money? I'm confused how this came about. After reading some of the complaints here at this site, I am finding out I am not alone in this idea(?) scam(?)

Thankyou for letting me write you. My email is jstamp.[protected]@verizon.net. Do you want me to send youthe letters, etc. that I have received so far?
Sincerely, Janet

I called after charges were made to my account without my knowledge. I called the bank and they said that these people do this often and that I need to call them and have them stop the transaction. Unbelievable! When I called the women was very rude. She said that their system was down and they couldn't help me. Then after saying I would not hang up until the charges were dropped the supervisor came one and said she wouldn't be able to get rid of the charges for seven days. Charges that were made to my account illegally! She said this was from signing up with something associated with Air Tran ( I have not bought any tickets from them for at least 2 months nor did I sign up for any program ) This is FRAUD. If I did not get alerts from my bank I would not have known about these charges. These people need to be shut down.

Just received my ssi check and all of a sudden I have a charge for $150.+ from someone called TLC Great Fun. Will call them tomorrow as it is now 10:39pm about getting my money back. Haven't a clue who they are and I sure as H==l can't afford to spend $150+ when I only get $900 a month to live on. They need to be put out of business, maybe the district attorney in their area can do something about it. Will see.

I noticed a mysterious charge for $36.99 from TLG great Fun on my debit card statement. After researching online and finding they are being sued in a class action suite for scamming, I contacted them to demand the charges be reversed immediately. They did agree to reverse the charges and even gave me a confirmation #... who know's if that really means anything. Most importantly, what I discovered from my conversation with TLG Great Fun is that the obtained my debit card information from Classmates.com! Without my knowledge, classmates.com (with whom I had a very limited experience with long ago and no longer use) released my debit card information to these scammers without my permission! THAT MUST TO BE ILLEGAL RIGHT? Anyway, classmates.com agreement states

I have filed a complaint online with the consumeraffairs.com. I just hope they're for real and not scammers.

This is a company that I had never heard of, that is, until they snagged $14.99 out of my bank account. I tried to find out who these people were and how they got ahold of my name and credit card information. I have never signed up for 'shoppers advantage' nor have I ever heard of them until they took this out of my account. I've filed a fraud report against these people and am waiting for the money to be refunded to me. They also caused me to bounce in my bank account. I did find a number to call these people and the lady said she took me off. I told her that I had never signed up in the first place. Then, she wanted to offer me some coupons...I wanted out of whatever scheme this was...I said NO. She gave me a conformation number. It says I'm not a member, so we shall see what happens next month.
I am waiting for my bank to file fraud charges against these people. I have seen so many other people who were taken for much more than I was--I went back 6 months in my bank account to make sure this was the only fee that they took out! Somebody should put these people out of business!

On hold for over 1 hour as I write trying to receive credit for a year of unauthorized charges in the amount of $11.99 each (small enough to stay under radar). All the banks know about these people. Not illegal, but once they capture you in a rather sneaky way through a pop-up in an online purchase (movie tickets, for example) it is nearly impossible to get them to stop. They do not want to be contacted as evidenced by being left on hold "waiting for next available agent" for over an hour. Most people give up. If there is a pending charge, you can't dispute until it goes through. Phone number shown for merchant while it's pending shows up as [protected]. Phone number once it goes through is [protected]. I have reported them to FBI and will next file complaint with State's Attorney General. Advise everyone else to do the same. Your bank will only give you so much credit back. Once you get this charge, just get a new bank card and cancel the old one. This will at least stop these ### until banks or authorities do something about TLG. Very deceptive way of doing business (certainly not legitimate business practices). 1 hour and seven minutes. Still on hold.

With the many complaints that I have read about TLG I found interesting that HSBC is mentioned in many of them.
I have the same issue of unauthorized charges on my HSBC credit card. Since it is Saturday and I REALLY don't want to listen to recordings I have to start this mission Monday. well I will be trying to recoup the money involved and believe you me this will hit any news organization that will take it on also.
If you are in New York in any borough and have similar problems with TLG AND HSBC please please e-mail me with the info.
Thanks and good luck to us!

I just checked my bank statement and seen a charge on there for 12.99. I went back as far as last Nov, 2008 and was charged. I called my bank who gave me this [protected] number. I called and she said Oh when you went online to AISonline.com you gave us permission to charge you. I said for what? She said, "Oh we have wonderful coupons." I said to her coupons? you just telling me about this after a year? Why do I not have anything from you?"OH we attempted to send you a membership package last Novemeber. Yea right I told her I want my money back. Oh let me give you a supervisor. I got one and she said she would give me 4 months of 12.99 back. So out of 142.89 I get back 51.96? No I dont think so. So I am trying to find out how to file a claim or prosecute these people. ANyone help me? THanks, Rita

My card was charged also. I just saw this today. Luckily I was looking at my bank account online and saw this charge. My bank just so happened to have the phone number listed next to the charge, [protected]. It took me about 20 minutes talking to someone on the phone. It was hard to find an account that I didn't authorize. But finally it was found and my money is being refunded back. Hope this helps everyone.
