This company offered discounts on Hotels and many other services for paying a one time fee of $1. I never received anything from them for paying this amount, then later I find out that they have been charging my credit card $16.99 a month for over a year!

Was going over my checking account online and came across a charge for $10.99 to CkCard TLG*Greatfun 800-24271CTUS and I did not authorized this. When I called the number it was some kind of Christian Thing and when I pressed to talk to an operator it said they were extremely busy and to leave my phone number and they would get back to me as soon as possible. Did not leave a number.

Learned a hard lesson to scrutinize my credit card statement for diligently. These people have been charging $11.99 to my credit card for 9 months. They claim I signed up for a discount program. Would never have. Suspect it was tagged onto something I ordered on line. I most likely closed out of filling out the form when I realized what it was, but they somehow got my info anyway. Now they have me jumping through hoops trying to get it stopped and am fighting for refund with not much luck.

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.

They are charging my credit card as an automatic payments for services i never ask for. i am not sure how are they doing it but this company is a SCAM they are having unauthorized charging with my credit card. I am disputing the issue now to my DISCOVER Card and hoping that the credit card company can protect us better to avoid this type of scam charges.

Ripped off through a supposed charge on orbitz. I would gladly sue this company if i could find them. I also wonder if orbitz and other sites i saw complaints on are in on this scam. I would assume they must have received enough complaints to be aware their sites. I am curious if they profited from this scam. By the way, bank of americas dispute resolution is a pitiful joke in my opinion.

GREAT FUN!- I'll bet they are having great fun - all the way
from my bank and yours- to theirs!-
Unauthorized charges against my credit card!-
with a probable "roll-over" - "membership" fee from Shopping Essentials- never used either of them!
Contacted NANCY SCOTT- in August, 2008 by phone w/ a follow-up request by mail for refund- have not heard a word.
WHERE ARE YOU NANCY ? Having GREAT FUN - Making deposits ?

I booked a hotel room through one of these online websites 2 months ago. Today I checked my account and realized that my card was charged in the amount of $11.00 by this company TLG Great Fun. I called my bank immediately to dispute the charge and had my card deactivated, so they will no longer have access to it. I will also be calling the company to complain. I am not receiving any benefits from this "program, " nor have I received anything from them in the mail. When you type TLG Great Fun into the Google search, nothing comes up about this "company" but complaints! DO NOT book anything online! Call and speak to a representative!

I had the similar problem with this TLG great fund where I received unauthorized charges on my debit card. I think I was automatically signed up when I purchased airline tickets from Priceline. I resolved this problem by reporting this site as fraud to my bank changed my debit card.

Today I recieved a card in the mail from Great Fun. I have no idea who they are or how they got my credit card number. They sent the card to inform me of an increase in my membership to $12.99 each month if I don't call them. When I called, of course, you can never speak to a live person and I was informed that they couldn't take my call. Sure seems like a scam to me.

TLG is a complete scam. They charge you for different things that you never sign up for and then claim that you do. I had to call 3 different times over 3 different matters to get my money back for things that i never signed up for and never authorized them to take money out for. Then they always say I'm sorry this will never happen again, and it always will. All they do is take your money.

This is TLG Great Fun... We just found out today that we were taken by this company for $36.00 out of our bank account. Here is a link to their information with the BBB of CT.

http://ct.bbb.org/WWWRoot/Report.aspx?site=29&bbb=0111&firm=41001179#complaint

They need to be shut down! They have been scamming people under all kinds of names for years by sneaking in under "legitimate" websites and swiping your credit card info. to sign you up for crap that you don't know you are ordering and you never receive. We talked with "Nancy" an "Executive Supervisor" this evening and after our conversation are being reimbursed $108 in total for all of the charges they have helped themselves to from our bank account. They say that Tom clicked on box while on the Columbia House website. He did not do that, he certianly didn't give them his banking information or permission to take money from the account! They also say that they have been sending us travel cupons and a magazine for the past year, nothing has been received from them... ever. "Nancy" told us that we may have "mistaken it for junk mail" to which we responded that maybe they disguise it as junk mail so they won't be so easily discovered! As for a magazine, none has ever been delivered to us and as for "TLG Great Fun" we had never heard of them until they were noticed stealing money from our bank account today. We need to get together and find a good lawyer to take up a CLASS ACTION SUITE against these jerks and every internet site that gives/sells them our banking/credit card information!

Just found out I was enrolled through Fandango. You are enrolled when you accept a $15 dollar discount. I said it wasn't much of a discount if I was being charged $11.99 every two weeks with nothing to show for it. I wasn't able to reach them through my number. I had my card dispute rep call for me. That should get results. I'll update on how that works out. I don't think I'm going to get my money back. Whatever, as long as it stops! Btw, Fandango can suck it! I'm no longer using their site or going to Edwards theaters. Unless, they want to give me a movie pass for every charge...

You authorized it yourself while internet shopping AND NOT READING the disclosures that were posted on the survey you completed or the $$ off your current order you took advantage of .

these companies KNOW that most people make a CHOICE NOT TO READ the info provided and take full advantage of it.

Even the today show did a piece on it, while investigating the complaints they were receiving. Every website they were told did this had full disclosure that no one bothered to read.

Suddenly my aunt was seeing charges on her bank statement for $12.99. She had no idea what this was from. I work at the bank and we looked it up. It was from TLG GREAT FUN. I advised her to dispute the charges and close her debit card. She did. I also tried to call the 800 number that was listed and promptly got disconnected after waiting to speak to a live person. Maybe they knew I was calling from a bank. Scammers!
