Great Fun review: charged by credit card for 119. 99 769

What a joke. I just discovered the same thing. I was charged $12.99 (apparently they are upping their fees...) I've never heard of "Great Fun". I don't understand how they can get away with this legally. Did priceline have something in their disclaimer? When I call "Great Fun" I'm going to give them a "Great" piece of my mind and demand a full refund. I think it is smart to ask for a reference number for either the phone call and/or the refund.

seriously dude, take a chill pill this isn't your damn problem so keep your nose out of other people's problems..and their trying to get help...
your just making karma worse for yourself

There is a charge on my account and I don't know why. I did not purchase anything from this company.

I just realized that my checking account has been charged for the past couple of months for something I have no idea what it is. How do we stop this? i called the number but of course got NO WHERE! The business ( if it really is a business) is not open. Now I have to eat the charges and cancel my card because of some jerks who rip off people! I have no idea how they got my numbers! i never buy anything over the net!

Yes, I've been getting charged by TLG Shopper for seven months ($8.25) and TLG Great Fun ($14.99) for nine months. They could not tell me what company I had ordered from or what I had ordered. Trail ended with TLG.

I did not sign up with them and this is a scam...my bank will only investigate to get my money back (they say), but what of all the people who are being cheated? Why can't I find out which infomercial I ordered from so that I can know how this all got started? They cover their trails so one cannot really get answers.

There needs to be an investigation of this company NOW.

i dont know this company and im trying to contact one of the corporate department but they never give or transfer my call to that department thats why i reported this company scam

Increible que estas cosas pasen, he sido robado por esta compania desde el pasado mes de Marzo, hoy comence la pelea, espero que me regresen mi dinero... no existe ninguna manera legal de detenerlos ?... alguien tiene idea de como evitar que otras personas pasen por esta desagradable experiencia ?

check your computer for viruses we just paid a bunch of bills on line and now we have the charge to we think we may have a viruses on ours.we have not paid any bills over the phone or done any infomercials

The bad TLG -great-fun charge my credit card without my authority. Damn this company. How can they get my credit card number and how can they still survival with so many complain. Is there anywhere we can let it crash down or get caught?

I, too, am being charged for this Great Fun thing as well as another one that came with it called Traveler's Advantage...called five times so far and have received NOTHING in return! Will continue until my account is credited! I NEVER signed up for anything...Unbelieveable!

this company took money from my account without my knwolegde pleasee someone help me i mean i never authorize such thing the took 39.95 i called my bank and they say i have to wait til the money is transfer to start doin the investigation

I would like to get with some of the scammed individuals and file a fraud class action suit against this company

I've been a victum as well. I was charged 149.99 and when I called for a refund, the rep told me that I was eligable for a 112.00 refund and when asked why she couldn't tell me so she put me in touch with the "supervisor" who immediately told me a full refund would be sent. I asked for proof that I signed up for this and she was going to mail be a copy of the 'check'? not sure what this is but I've cancelled my credit card. SCAMMERS

This company is back up to its old tricks again! I have been charged for the last 2 months and I finally caught it. Sadley I'm actually releived that this is a reacurring problem and I'm not the only sucker, "respectfully". I just still cant believe that this scam is still going on, WHO is working on bringing these people DOWN?!?!? If my tax dollars pay for anything it should be to bring SOB's like this down! PLEASE BBB TAKE THESE SCAMES DOWN AND LOCK THEM UP

I just got charged $36.99 today and I need all the money in my account since I am moving to another state tonight. I called my bank. They said it had to actually post to my account before I could dispute it. To report fraud my card has to be closed out. I need my card to move to the new state. If this a scam (as I believe it is) I am concerned about it happening again. I don't know if I want to ever shop online again. It has been awhile since the last time. I haven't used cheaptickets for years. Who else could be "sharing" my card number? Does anyone know?

I've been totally ripped off by this company, two times. Last year, I ordered some labels from Current Catalog and then all of a sudden I had charges on my account from this Great Fun place. This holiday, I see my checking account is overdrafted by $258 because of this Great Fun place. I ordered on video from Columbia House and I have a $36.99 charge from Great Fun and $245.00 in overdraft fees because this charge was not expected. I called and was told I would get my $36.99 back to me within 7 days.
People, don't shop with Current Catalog or Columbia House.

I've been having the same issue for a year now and I FINALLY called in about it because I don't know what i'm paying for! They said they cancelled it and am suppose to be recieving a refund but we'll see...

I was charged 12.99 and want a refund. I did not authorize this charge. Sally HOpe

This company is a faxe company, they charged my account $12.99, I never bought anything from this people, and they are a scam.

12/23/09 POS TLG*GREATFN8715304, [protected] CT REFID:169... -12.99

This is the charge that appears on my bank statement showing the charge of $12.99, I have already call my bank and complain about this company, my bank is going to return me the money and start an investigation on this people.
Please if you see charges from this company call your bank or credit card company as soon as possible and report this scam and have them block or have a different credit card with a different number, and I'm pretty sure this company is not a United States base operated company.

Happended to me as well they claimed that i signed up for services when i purchesed tickets on expedia. They begain billing my card for a mounthy charge of 11.99 i called my credit card company and cancled my card then called great fun and they credited me the charges no questions asked. Fraud company they are part of a larger company who is owned by a even bigger one. Attempted to file complaint with BBB but very frustrating because one address was linked to another then to another.

I would like repeat every word!

call 1-900 TEABAGMYNUTS to get a refund

Same experience here! The company is at 100 CONNECTICUT AVE NORWALK CT [protected]
Now I have to call my American Express Card to resolve this issue...

I was charge on my bank account for Great Fun 11.99 a month. I went through the Fraud Section of the bank. I didn't sign up for this. Now I received a bill from this company. I am taking it to the bank on Monday to see if they could do something about it. Then I will take it to the District Attorney to file a complaint. I hope this will take care of this. I hope that the law will do something about it.

TLG has been charging my account $11.99 for five month before my husband asked me about them. I contacted my credit card company and reported the fraudulant charges on my account,
Citi bank refunded me all the charges and sent me a new card with a new number.. Now this months statement had all the credits, and a new charge from Great Fun. WHAT IS UP WITH THIS? Why are these people still in business and allowed to access our credit card accounts with out our permission. HOW DID THEY GET MY NEW CREDIT CARD NUMBER ?

FRAUDULANT COMPANY ACCESS TO PERSONAL CREDIT CARDS. HOW MANY THOUSANDS ARE THEY MAKING DAILY ..

To MichelleAnne,

If your card is a Credit/Debit card then they have your actual bank account number and are posting the charge manually. We had this problem months ago. After having the Visa Check card reissued with a new number 3 times we finally realized that they must have the bank account number. We closed the bank account and opened a new one. The charges finally stopped. Good luck!

I have been charged for this Great Fun for the past 2 months $15.99. I did not order this it has put an additional fee on my account for overdraft.

I am a peployed soldier and i know for a fact my wife called an canceled the membership but they still charged us

My husband was going through our bank statements and found 2 months of charges of $11.99 from TLG Great Fun. I got the 800 # from the above posts and immediately made the phone call to find out who, what, and why they were charging us. I spoke with a very nice and cooperative guy named Christian. He told me they had started billing us because of some rebate we agreed to when purchasing movie tickets through Fandango. I told him I remembered the rebate offer, but declined to accept it. He apologized and arranged for our account to be refunded. We've learned our lesson when it comes to really checking our statements each month.

I was also scammed by Great Fun after Collections, Etc. sent me a check that was supposedly a credit to my account. I have been making purchases from Collections Etc. for many years and didn't think they would be partners in such a scam. I was totally betrayed and it's harder for me to trust any company, especially if it is not one that is widely known or long standing. These extortioners obviously don't care who they rip off in this tough economy. I'm truly appalled at the selfishness that has consumed those for whom I hope will pay a bigger price for their greed. I'm determined to pursue this matter legally.

THIS IS A REPOST..THIS IS HOW TO GET GREATFUN OUT OF YOUR LIFE FOREVER!

These are the steps I took!

My next steps:

I will be calling my lawyer, just to give him a heads up that we may be coming into some money

I will be calling AND filing complaints against these jerks with the Attorney Generals offices (consumer complaints department for any interested) in the following 3 states:

Illinois (where I live..you can do the same in your state)

Connecticut (this is where the main hq for the company is)

Tennessee (where this Great Fun place is)

I will be filing these complaints against not only Trilegiant, but also Great fun and Travelers Advantage to cover ALL bases, just to make sure I get em all.

FORGET THE BBB...those days are over..they laugh at stuff like that...GO STRAIGHT FOR THE ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE!

This is straight up FRAUD giving my name, address and credit card information to their subsidiaries to start memberships up.

Here is the list of the Trilegiant companies..watch out for them!

I just found out today while going through my account that "Great Fun" has been making monthly charges ($12.95) to my account without my permission or knowledge for 7 months. I called Great
fun and they told me I filled out a promotional coupon with "Current-USA" and gave me their phone number and web site. I called Current USA and they've never heard of Great Fun. I called Great Fun back and thier supervisor just argued and couldn't answer questions. I had never heard of Current USA either until today. It's all obviously a scam. They are supposed to refund me 4 months worth of bogas charges. I have to write them a letter requesting the other 3 months...This should be illegal, somehow these bogas companies are getting our information and tapping into our accounts and nothing is being done about it or preventing it either. SCARY!

They are a big time scammer they hide behind other offers that you dont get just to sell magazin ( well at lest thats what they did to us ) They took money without us knowing anything about it . We said yes to gas cards and ended up with 6 or 7 people taken money out of the account and great fun was one of them.

I can't believe that the US attorney general hasn't shut this company down! I am so embarassed that I was charged for a year! I travel a lot and use my debit bank card (this is what great fun was charging) for meals, etc. To see a $12.99 charge was not unusual. I also have a gym membership that pays bi-weekly $12.60 or something, so it didn't alarm me.

I was actually looking at my bank statement online and noticed on the pending charges that another merchant who I actually did buy from, charged my debit card twice. Luckilly, this great fun was in with the pending charges.

The bank cancelled my debit card and issued a new one, they also told me that a note has to be entered on my acct that recurring monthly charges will not be rolled over to the new card. Make sure that you get this stipulation when you close your card!

I was given the phone number of great fun from the bank. The bank immediately credited me 2 months, but that is as far back as they go. When I called great fun, they said that I signed up from classmates.com. I said that I absolutely did not. They said, "We have documents to show that you did." I said that I would like to see those documents. They said they would cancel my membership, I was given a cancellation number. They said that I would only be credited 2 months over the phone and I was given a fax number to send a letter to request the rest of my money back [protected].

I faxed a letter listing the exact amount of fraudulent charges. I explained that I wanted a refund/correspondence within 7 days or I was going to the Attorney General. So far, no refund, except the 2 months from my bank, but I stopped the bleeding. I still have to contact classmates.com. I cancelled my membership about a year ago from them.

Has anyone else been successful in getting their money back? Has anyone thought of contacting an attorney for a class action lawsuit?

S. Pietrone

No money back- I canceled the bank account.

Also "Elite Excursions"

My credit card was charged 159.99 on Feb 2 and again 159.99 on Feb 18 I will file a lawsuit if the funds are not reimbursed this is not a f-----ing joke and I did not authorize any such membership to any such company and I am pressing charges

I have had monthly charges of $17.00 per month charged to my credit card afte I booked a hotel on priceline.com. How do I refund my money. I never agreed to purchase this membership.
